Investigation of membrane fouling phenomenon using molecular dynamics simulations: a review by Ma, Yunqiao, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Membrane fouling remains a tremendous obstacle in the implementation of membrane technology, which has motivated the use of a wide range of experimental techniques to study and understand fouling behavior in the past decades. However, molecular-level insights, which underlie the macroscopic phenomena observable experimentally-, remain incomplete. …”

Theory-guided machine learning to predict configurational energies of high distortion alloy systems by Huang, Xufa

“…Matminer features have proved effective for predicting material properties such as bandgap, elastic constants, formation energies, adsorption energies, and ferromagnetic properties in the past. Using recursive feature elimination, optimized based on stable weight assignment of ridge regularization, we sieved out only important descriptors in a high dimensional framework where configurational energy labels vastly exceed the number of descriptors. …”

A numerical modeling approach for better differentiation of boulders transported by a tsunami, storm, and storm-induced energetic infragravity waves by Watanabe, Masashi, Goto, Kazuhisa, Roeber, Volker, Kan, Hironobu, Imamura, Fumihiko

“…Coastal boulders are often indicators of past extreme wave events. In fact, the coastal boulder distribution induced by infragravity-dominated storm waves (energetic IG waves) may be similar to that induced by tsunamis; however, this assumption is yet to be investigated. …”

Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…In this project, a number of Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) models are verified with benchmark values of Direct Numerical Solutions (DNS) provided by the past research to identify appropriate RANS models which allow the simulation of dimpled flow with specific Reynolds number and initial conditions in a 3D channel. …”

Design, characterization and properties of nitrogen-containing novel organic N-type materials by Wu, Yuechao.

“…In past decades,organic semiconductors have caused a lot of interests because of their potential applications in field-effect transistors(FET),organic-light-emitting devices(OLED)and photovoltaic cells.Among them,developing high-efficient n-type organic materials for organic field-effect transistors(OFETs)is very urgent.Currently, p-type organic semiconductors are well-developed and their mobility can go as high as4.8 cm2V-1S-1.Since p-type and n-type materials are equally important for the fabrication of p-n junctions and complementary logic circuits,the demand to find the promising n-type counterparts is necessary. …”

Crustal strain in the Marmara pull‐apart region associated with the propagation process of the North Anatolian Fault by Karakaş, Çagil, Armijo, R., Lacassin, R., Suc, J.-P., Melinte-Dobrinescu, M. C.

“…After full propagation of the NNAF up to the surface, the folded structure was sheared and right laterally offset, with an average 14 mm/year of slip rate during the past ~5 Myrs. A reconstruction of tectonic evolution suggests a flower structure nucleating and taking root at the tip of the fault.…”
