Development of advanced Fe-based oxygen carriers for chemical looping applications by Fan, Qianwenhao

“…All the perovskite structured oxygen carriers showed excellent cyclic stability over pressure swing cycles at 500 °C, suggesting their suitability for long-term operation. The enhanced activity can be rationalized by the enhanced activity of the TM-O bonds, which are correlated to descriptors such as Goldschmidt tolerance factor, the O 2p band center, and the degree of TM-O hybridization. 3. …”

Characterization of nickel-titanium based thin films crystallized by fast and ultra-fast annealing methods by Motemani Sharabiani, Yahya

“…The first part of the study is concerned with describing and correlating the evolution of structural, surfacial and nano-scale mechanical properties of amorphous Ti-Ni-Cu thin films crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA), where the treatment takes place under a protected atmosphere by electromagnetic irradiation with fast heating rate (< 100 oC/sec). Long range order of amorphous Ti-Ni-Cu thin films was achieved in a few seconds (> 60 sec), with the optimum crystallization temperature of 480oC. …”

Dynamic drug combination methods for suppressing bacterial antibiotics resistance adaptation by Bhone, Myint Kyaw

“…In this study, with the consideration of the effectiveness of phytochemicals in combination with synergistic antibiotics in resistance prevention or delaying effects on partner synergistic antibiotic, a new noble dynamic drugs dosing combination hypothesis was introduced and tested with 4 MRSA strains for a duration of 10 days and 30 days to understand short-term and long-term effects. Giving more than 20% (0.2 MIC) of tannic acid or quercetin together with synergistic fusidic acid was found to prevent adaptive or genetic mutations in MRSA strains. …”

3D content recovery and complexity reduction by Tan, Cheen Hau

“…Our mocap recovery methods target two types of missing data: random missing data, where each joint in a sequence are missing at random, and block missing data, where each joint is missing for long intervals of time. For the case of random missing data, we propose to arrange the mocap data matrix into columns of short trajectories, which we call the trajectory-based representation, for matrix completion recovery. …”
