G., Kara, Erin, Koss, Michael, Liu, Tingting, Mallick, Labani, Negro, Michela, Pradhan, Pragati, Quirola-Vásquez, J., Reynolds, Mark T., Ricci, Claudio, Rothschild, Richard E., Sridhar, Navin, Troja, Eleonora, Yao, Yuhan

“…The observatory’s ability to localize and monitor faint X-ray sources opens up new opportunities to hunt for counterparts to distant binary neutron star mergers, fast radio bursts, and exotic phenomena like fast X-ray transients. AXIS will offer a response time of <2 h to community alerts, enabling studies of gravitational wave sources, high-energy neutrino emitters, X-ray binaries, magnetars, and other targets of opportunity. …”

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. …”
