Properties and mechanism of strain and piezoelectricity of hybrid molecular ferroelectrics by Hu, Yuzhong

“…In Chapter 3, we report the discovery of a new OIHF and investigate the influence of the halide part on its ferroelectricity. In previous reports, OIHFs were found to lose their ferroelectricity even with a very low level of halide substitution, making the investigation to the role of halide part in OIHFs ferroelectric mechanism quite challenging. …”

Radio science measurements of atmospheric refractivity with Mars Global Surveyor by Cahoy, Kerri, Hinson, David, Tyler, G. Leonard

“…Refractivity is proportional to neutral density at low altitudes and electron density at high altitudes, with a transition at ~75 km. We use weighted least squares to decompose zonal refractivity variations into amplitudes and phases for observed wave numbers k=1-4 over the entire altitude range and use the results to analyze atmospheric structure and dynamics. …”

HLO : half-kernel laplacian operator for surface smoothing by Pan, Wei, Lu, Xuequan, Gong, Yuanhao, Tang, Wenming, Liu, Jun, He, Ying, Qiu, Guoping

“…Given a vertex v, HLO first finds all pairs of its neighboring vertices and divides each pair into two subsets (called half windows); then computes the uniform Laplacians of all such subsets and subsequently projects the computed Laplacians to the full-window uniform Laplacian to alleviate flipping and degeneration. The half window with least regularization energy is then chosen for v. …”

Building fabric improvement and heat pump deployment: a set of policy conundrums by Killip, G, Topouzi, M, Fawcett, T

“…Setting minimum quality standards for deployment, and a policy framework which allows for local decision-making within nationally (and internationally) determined targets is likely to be part of the answer. This paper sets out the challenge for policy in devolution and coordination, providing a set of unresolved conundrums that future policy needs to meet. …”

Fault-tolerant computation meets network coding: optimal scheduling in parallel computing by Li, Congduan, Zhang, Yiqian, Tan, Chee Wei

“…Specifically, we determine the optimal redundancy-failure rate tradeoff to incorporate redundancy into parallel computing units running multiple-precision arithmetics, like the Chinese Remainder Theorem, that are useful for applications such as asymmetric cryptography and fast integer multiplication. Inspired by network coding in distributed storage for disk failures, we propose coding matrices to strategically map partial computation to available computing units, so that the central unit can reliably reconstruct the results of any failed machine without recalculations to yield the final correct computation output. …”
