PRIVATE GAMES / by James Patterson, author 619115, Sullivan, Mark, author 505729

“…Coming so soon after loss of friends and colleagues in a fatal plane crash, Marshall's murder is an almost intolerable blow to Knight, and it soon becomes clear that not Marshall--but the Games themselves-- are the killer's number one target.…”

Automated multisensor polyhedral model acquisition by Ortin, D, Montiel, JMM, Zisserman, A

“…The vision algorithms are then able to compute a very accurate registration (via a plane to plane homography) which is used to segment the model into planar facets, and to improve the estimate of the model and sensor position. …”

Pattern-reconfigurable water horn antenna by Ren, Zhen, Qi, Shi-Shan, Wu, Wen, Shen, Zhongxiang

“…Therefore, the proposed water horn antenna can operate in two states: H-plane horn state and leaky-wave state, resulting in different radiation patterns. …”

Design and implementation of a non-iterative division circuit by Zhang, Dawei

“…To simplify the computation, and hence hardware complexity, each strip of the curved surface is then represented by a flat plane. Linear programming is used to find the flat plane with best fit to the curved surface, i.e., minimum difference between the curved surface and the fitted plane (minimum error). …”

Electronic Properties of Fluoride and Half–fluoride Superlattices KZnF3/KAgF3 and SrTiO3/KAgF3 by Yang, Xiaoping, Su, Haibin

“…While within half–fluoride SrTiO3/KAgF3, out–of–plane electronic reconstruction results in electron doping of AgF2 plane and antiferromagnetic state instability, and the Fermi surface shape presents considerable similarity to that in HgBaCuO4. …”

In situ nanoscopy of single-grain nanomorphology and ultrafast carrier dynamics in metal halide perovskites by Zizlsperger, M, Nerreter, S, Yuan, Q, Lohmann, KB, Sandner, F, Schiegl, F, Meineke, C, Gerasimenko, YA, Herz, LM, Siday, T, Huber, MA, Johnston, MB, Huber, R

“…The record-breaking efficiencies of metal halide perovskite solar cells have been linked to effective charge-carrier diffusion, yet the exact nature of charge-carrier out-of-plane transport remains notoriously difficult to explain. …”

A UHF omni-directional RFID tag antenna by Tan, Kevin Kaiwen.

“…The main objective of this project is to design an ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID tag antenna with omni-directional radiation patters in the azimuth plane. The antenna was simulated with the aid of IE3D software. …”

Experimental study on sediment clump by Yang, Yang

“…The behavior of sediment clump was found to follow a probabilistic model and the disintegration depth of a sediment clump followed a one-sided bell-shaped curve. It was also observed that clump fragmentation would greatly affect the sediment clump behaviors.…”

Spin orbit torques induced magnetization reversal through asymmetric domain wall propagation in Ta/CoFeB/MgO structures by Cao, Jiangwei, Chen, Yifei, Jin, Tianli, Gan, Weiliang, Wang, Ying, Zheng, Yuqiang, Lv, Hua, Cardoso, Susana, Wei, Dan, Lew, Wen Siang

“…The magnetization reversal induced by spin orbit torques in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in perpendicularly magnetized Ta/CoFeB/MgO structures were investigated by using a combination of Anomalous Hall effect measurement and Kerr effect microscopy techniques. By analyzing the in-plane field dependent spin torque efficiency measurements, an effective field value for the DMI of ~300 Oe was obtained, which plays a key role to stabilize Néel walls in the film stack. …”
