“Clicking” compliant mechanism for flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle by Chin, Yao-Wei, Lau, Gih Keong

“…The non-clicking prototype is lighter at 3.35g with a wingstroke of 100°, but could not achieve hover but could not achieve hovering even though driven by the same motor at a faster flapping frequency (16.2Hz) under the same driving voltage (4.9 V). …”

Trans-Z-source neutral point clamped inverter by Mo, W., Li, D., Loh, Poh Chiang, Blaabjerg, Frede

“…Transformer based Z-source (trans-Z-source) inverters are recently proposed by extending the traditional Z-source inverter with higher buck-boost capability as well as reducing the passive components at the same time. Multi-Level Z-source inverters are single-stage topological solutions used for buck-boost energy conversion with all the favourable advantages of multi-level switching retained. …”

Extending the coverage of a valency dictionary by Bond, Francis, Fujita, Sanae.

“…The method is based on two assumptions: words with similar meaning have similar subcategorization frames and selectional restrictions; and words with the same translations have similar meanings. Based on these assumptions, new valency entries are constructed for words in a plain bilingual dictionary, using entries with similar source-language meaning and the same target-language translations. …”

Microfiltration performance with two-phase flow by Qian, Guanglei, Zhou, Jiti, Zhang, Jinsong, Chen, Congcong, Jin, Ruofei, Liu, Wantao

“…The results showed that the effluent quality was better than the supernatant under the same gas flowrate, while membrane fouling was effectively mitigated by increasing gas flowrate due to the shear force generated by two-phase flow. …”

Development of interactive software (statics) by Chan, Keith Shao Wen

“…As the major part of the whole software, the Beam Analyser is developed to tackle problems in determining reaction forces and plotting shear force diagram and bending moment diagram of a beam subjected to various loadings and support conditions. The layout and some working principles of the software are also explained, which uses some of the methods mentioned in statics theories and concepts. …”

Magic-angle helical trilayer graphene by Devakul, Trithep, Ledwith, Patrick J., Xia, Li-Qiao, Uri, Aviram, de la Barrera, Sergio C., Jarillo-Herrero, Pablo, Fu, Liang

“…While nominally forming a supermoiré (or moiré-of-moiré) structure, we show that HTG locally relaxes into large regions of a periodic single-moiré structure realizing flat topological bands carrying nontrivial valley Chern number. These bands feature near-ideal quantum geometry and are isolated from remote bands by a very large energy gap, making HTG a promising platform for experimental realization of correlated topological states such as integer and fractional quantum anomalous Hall states.…”
