Core – shell CuPd@Pd tetrahedra with concave structures and Pd-enriched surface boost formic acid oxidation by Chen, Yifan, Yang, Yifan, Fu, Gengtao, Xu, Lin, Sun, Dongmei, Lee, Jong-Min, Tang, Yawen

“…This bimetallic concave structure can endow the nanocrystals with abundant catalytically active sites and fascinating electronic effects, which are suggested to be favorable for electrocatalysis. When used as an electrocatalyst, the newly developed catalyst presented 4.2 and 2.4 times enhanced mass activity (501.8 A gPd−1) and specific activity (49.3 A m−2) for the formic acid oxidation when compared with those of the commercial Pd black catalyst (120.6 A gPd−1; 20.8 A m−2), respectively. …”

Employee profiling via aspect-based sentiment and network for insider threats detection by Soh, Charlie, Yu, Sicheng, Narayanan, Annamalai, Duraisamy, Santhiya, Chen, Lihui

“…The evaluation results demonstrate that the augmentation is indeed reflected in the augmented employee’s anomaly ranking (i.e., from normal to abnormal) and her close associates are indeed placed closely to her when the profiles are visualized in the 2D space. …”

Why did China seldom claim? : Overseas investment and bilateral investment treaties by Chen, Jiaxin

“…The article argues that China ratified the BITs for strategic consideration, including both economic and political aspects. When it comes to the actual use of BITs, the investment institutions and the business-state linkages play essential roles. …”

Incremental route inference from low-sampling GPS data : an opportunistic approach to online map matching by Luo, Linbo, Hou, Xiangting, Cai, Wentong, Guo, Bin

“…Unlike the hidden Markov model (HMM)-based approach, which often experiences certain delay between the GPS observation and inference, our algorithm can produce immediate inference when a new GPS point becomes available. Furthermore, a rollback mechanism is provided to correct the already inferred route when some abnormal situations are detected during the opportunistic inference process. …”

Membrane compaction in forward osmosis process by Ng, Daniel Yee Fan, Chen, Yunfeng, Dong, Zhili, Wang, Rong

“…Membrane compaction is commonly observed in polymeric membranes when subjected to elevated hydraulic pressure, but was rarely discussed in forward osmosis (FO) processes, since there was usually little hydraulic pressure difference across the membrane. …”

Implementation of low sampling rate algorithm by Tan, Michael Teck Xin

“…Traditional image classification models learn directly from training images that are only processed for image augmentation and reshaping to fit the models. When these models are trained with a large number of images, it is highly inefficient as it could take extremely long durations of time to train or require a very powerful computer to complete the process. …”

Energy storage system based on PMP21529 buck-boost Bi-directional DC-DC converter by Yan, Shunyao

“…PMP 21529 is a four-switch bi-directional DC-DC buck-boost converter with high efficiency, when the input dc power bus is powered normally, the converter can charge the lithium battery in buck or boost mode, when the input power bus fails, or the power is cut off, the battery can be used as a backup system to supply power to the dc bus, which improves the power system's reliability. …”

Mining big spatial data by Lee, Ming Da

“…Even though spatial analysis is able to pinpoint road accident hotspot effectively, sole dependency on spatial analysis technique is insufficient when the desired analysis requires much larger data sets (i.e., comprising weather, time of the day, seasons, road wetness when the accident occurs) to enhance the accuracy of analyze results. …”
