The order of operations and A/Ā interactions by Newman, Elise

“…Indirect objects wh-move through the position that controls A-movement early, blocking a direct object from A-moving, so long as the indirect object can A-move itself. The analysis features a smuggling approach to passives of ditransitives (Collins 2005) and an economy condition like van Urk and Richards’ (2015) Multitasking, which jointly predict the order of operations that gives rise to the wh-movement restriction observed in Norwegian.…”

Accelerated synthesis of Li(Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1)O2 cathode materials using flame-assisted spray pyrolysis and additives by Zhang, Jianan, Muldoon, Valerie L, Deng, Sili

“…As a result, with only 20 min of calcination at 875 °C and without any preheating and ramping steps, the NCM811 sample showed an ordered layered structure and comparable electrochemical performance to those with long-time calcination. Moreover, the current work demonstrated that the shortened post calcination was benefited from lithium-embedded particles that likely improved the uniformity of lithium distribution in as-synthesized powder. …”

Individual Mobility Prediction in Mass Transit Systems Using Smart Card Data: An Interpretable Activity-Based Hidden Markov Approach by Mo, Baichuan, Zhao, Zhan, Koutsopoulos, Haris N, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Based on a case study of Hong Kong’s metro system, we show that the proposed model can achieve similar prediction performance as the state-of-the-art long short-term memory (LSTM) model. Unlike LSTM, the proposed IOHMM approach can also be used to analyze hidden activity patterns, which provides meaningful behavioral interpretation for why an individual makes a certain trip. …”

Empirical estimation of metal powder bed fusion technological improvement rate by Alves de Campos, António, Torres Ferreira, Bruna, Gonçalves, Afonso, Leite, Marco, Ribeiro, Inês, L. Magee, Christopher, Henriques, Elsa

“…This study empirically estimates the technological improvement rate (TIR) of metal powder bed fusion (PBF) technology, widely used in aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. PBF's continuous long-term adoption growth is driven by its ability to enhance manufacturing efficiency in terms of time and raw material use, as well as its capability to produce high-quality, high-strength, complex-shaped parts. …”

Learning Model Predictive Control Parameters via Bayesian Optimization for Battery Fast Charging by Hirt, Sebastian, Höhl, Andreas, Schaeffer, Joachim, Pohlodek, Johannes, Braatz, Richard D, Findeisen, Rolf

“…This approach establishes a hierarchical control framework where Bayesian optimization directly fine-tunes closed-loop behavior towards a global and long-term objective, while MPC handles lower-level, short-term control tasks. …”

JWST sighting of decameter main-belt asteroids and view on meteorite sources by Burdanov, Artem Y., de Wit, Julien, Broz, Miroslav, Muller, Thomas G., Hoffmann, Tobias, Ferrais, Marin, Micheli, Marco, Jehin, Emmanuel, Parrott, Daniel, Hasler, Samantha N., Binzel, Richard P., Ducrot, Elsa, Kreidberg, Laura, Gillon, Michael, Greene, Thomas P., Grundy, Will M., Kareta, Theodore, Lagage, Pierre-Olivier, Moskovitz, Nicholas, Thirouin, Audrey, Thomas, Cristina A., Zieba, Sebastian

“…These asteroids were sampled from multiple asteroid families —most likely Nysa, Polana and Massalia— according to the geometry of pointings considered here. Through additional long-stare infrared observations, JWST is poised to serendipitously detect thousands of decameter-scale asteroids across the sky, probing individual asteroid families and the source regions of meteorites “in-situ”.…”

“…HC69 cells, a microglial model of HIV latency, contain an HIV promoter long terminal repeat (LTR)-GFP reporter and were used for testing the efficacy of a two-step magnetoelectric nanoparticle (MENP) and extracellular vesicle (xEV) latency-targeting (MELT) nanotherapeutic. …”

An implantable piezoelectric ultrasound stimulator (ImPULS) for deep brain activation by Hou, Jason F, Nayeem, Md Osman Goni, Caplan, Kian A, Ruesch, Evan A, Caban-Murillo, Albit, Criado-Hidalgo, Ernesto, Ornellas, Sarah B, Williams, Brandon, Pearce, Ayeilla A, Dagdeviren, Huseyin E, Surets, Michelle, White, John A, Shapiro, Mikhail G, Wang, Fan, Ramirez, Steve, Dagdeviren, Canan

“…The absence of electrochemically active elements poses a new strategy for achieving long-term stability. We demonstrated that ImPULS can i) excite neurons in a mouse hippocampal slice ex vivo, ii) activate cells in the hippocampus of an anesthetized mouse to induce expression of activity-dependent gene c-Fos, and iii) stimulate dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta to elicit time-locked modulation of nigrostriatal dopamine release. …”
