Study of lithium-ion battery anodes based on silicon nanostructures by Fan, Yu

“…With the spherical Ni particle support, the Si coating is able to expand/contract along radial direction of Ni cores to release its internal stress through out-of-plane directions, instead of accumulating a large in-plane stress. Scanning electron microscopy images show that the cone array still adheres to the substrate after cycling and some cracks have developed along boundaries of the cones to help release internal stress, while the Si cones show no crack or pulverization. …”

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

“…For human motion capture (mocap) data acquired using optical systems, entries of the data might be missing due to occluded body parts or markers. For scanned 3D meshes, the complexity, or resolution, of the mesh could be much higher than necessary for the intended application; this will consume a large amount of computational resources. …”

Mechanical performance and microstructural development of MgO-SiO2-H2O systems by Sonat, Cem

“…Microstructural analysis was performed via various techniques such as x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric/derivative thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTG), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). In the initial studies, where the influence of mix design and different curing conditions were discussed, mix compositions with a MgO/SiO2 weight ratio of 1-1.5 resulted in the best mechanical performance, depending on the water/binder ratio. …”
