Improving hydration and carbonation of reactive magnesium oxide cement by Tye, Wenkai

“…It was then used in the second half of the study, where samples were treated with sodium bicarbonate, high initial curing temperature or by introduction of nano-silica as seeds. Only seeding using nano-silica improved the compressive strength of concrete when compared to the control mix (without use of enhanced curing techniques). …”

Data-driven forward and inverse analysis of two-dimensional soil consolidation using physics-informed neural network by Wang, Yu, Shi, Chao, Shi, Jiangwei, Lu, Hu

“…Employing machine learning algorithms to forecast the behavior of nonlinear spatiotemporal systems, such as soil consolidation induced by land reclamation, has been popular in recent years. Although pure data-driven models demonstrate strong performance within their training domain, i.e., in-sample prediction, they lack interpretability and might have poor generalization outside the training domain, i.e., out-of-sample prediction, particularly when the observed geodata is limited. …”

Tin oxide based dye sensitized solar cells by Teh, Jun Jie

“…Besides, common problem of low fill factor (FF) in tin oxide based DSSC has been solved through gallium doping. Optimum gallium doping which moderate up-shift of tin oxide band edge results in better charge injection from dye to electrode and impedes electron from recombination with electrolyte, which in turn to increase Voc and power conversion efficiency. …”

To what extent and in what ways do communities of practice facilitate learning in the context of professional development for interpreting students and practitioners? by D'Hayer, Danielle

“…This lonely experience in this no man’s land induces an identity crisis and a need for further professional development that has not yet been investigated. This study explores whether the concept of Communities of Practice (CoP) within a Social Learning framework offers a collaborative approach to support the transformative trajectory of interpreting students to becoming professional interpreters engaged in the market, and to potentially bring the interpreting profession to value, nurture and care for newcomers. …”

Entrapping of inclusions within carbon nanotubes during catalytic decomposition of C2H4 on a “thick” nickel film by Li, Feng Ji, Zhang, Sam, Sun, Geng Zhi, Kong, Jun Hua, Rawat, R. S., Ilyas, Usman, Li, Bo

“…It was found that pretreating of the nickel film resulted in lots of small nanoparticles extruding on the surface, among big ones, serving as seeds for the growth of tubes. The inner walls of a few tubes were sealed internally by multiple elongated “beads-like,” “bullet-shaped” or “needle-shaped” nickel inclusions. …”

Efficient threshold function secret sharing with information-theoretic security by Luo, Jinglong, Zhang, Liang Feng, Lin, Fuchun, Lin, Changlu

“…Specifically, a (t, n)-TFSS scheme with communication complexity O(l) is designed in this paper and it is better than the existing FSS schemes with lowest communication complexity O(λl), where λ is the length of pseudo-random generator's seeds. In addition, the (t, n)-TFSS have an extra robustness property in the sense that even if up to (n - t) function shares are not available, the protocol still computes the function value at a given point correctly.…”
