Bioinspired TiO2 nanostructure films with special wettability and adhesion for droplets manipulation and patterning by Lai, Yue-Kun, Tang, Yuxin, Huang, Jian-Ying, Pan, Fei, Chen, Zhong, Zhang, Ke-Qin, Fuchs, Harald, Chi, Lifeng

“…Inspired by their precise arrangement of structure and chemical component, we described a facile one-step approach to construct large scale pinecone-like anatase TiO2 particles (ATP) film. The as-prepared ATP film exhibits excellent superamphiphilic property in air, changes to underwater superoleophobicity with good dynamical stability. …”

Solving water quality management problem through combined genetic algorithm and fuzzy simulation by Xu, T. Y., Qin, Xiaosheng

“…The major advantage of GAFSA is that it could tackle generally-shaped fuzzy membership functions on both sides of the model constraints, rather than handle single special forms like triangular or trapezoidal. An agricultural water quality management problem that has been investigated by a number of previous studies was used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. …”

Singles' reasons for being single : empirical evidence from an evolutionary perspective by Apostolou, Menelaos, O, Jiaqing, Esposito, Gianluca

“…Younger people were more likely to indicate that they were single because they had poor flirting skills, because they did not see themselves as desirable mates, and because they did not like commitment; whereas older people were more likely to indicate that they were single in order to be free to do what they have wanted. …”
