Beam heating explains critical current suppression measured during ion irradiation of REBCO tapes by Devitre, Alexis, Fischer, David, Riva, N., Rae, M., Kortman, Lauryn, Woller, Kevin, Fisher, Zoe, Short, Michael, Whyte, Dennis, Hartwig, Zachary

“…Most importantly, we find that the dose rates expected in a FPP will not change Ic due to ballistic radiation damage or ion-Cooper pair interactions, allowing us to safely ignore these effects when designing FPP magnets.…”

Classical correspondence beyond the Ehrenfest time for open quantum systems with general Lindbladians by Hernández, Felipe, Ranard, Daniel, Riedel, C. J.

“…We prove a version of this correspondence, bounding the error between the quantum and classical evolutions for any sufficiently regular Hamiltonian H(x, p) and Lindblad functions L k ( x , p ) . The error is small when the strength of the diffusion D associated to the Lindblad functions satisfies D ≫ ħ 4 / 3 , in particular allowing vanishing noise in the classical limit. …”

Protein Folding, Host Cell Proteostasis, and Viral Evolution by Yoon, Jimin

“…Importantly, in cells, protein folding is assisted by intricate networks of chaperones and quality control factors, termed proteostasis networks. When a substitution on a protein impedes its proper folding, proteostasis network components can triage the defective protein variant to chaperones for folding assistance, or to quality control factors for timely degradation. …”

Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) by Ralstonia eutropha in high cell density palm oil fermentations by Yusof, Zainal Abidin Mohd, Riedel, Sebastian L. S., Bader, Johannes, Brigham, Christopher J., Budde, Charles F., Rha, ChoKyun, Sinskey, Anthony J.

“…Different PHA production strategies were compared using a recombinant strain of Ralstonia eutropha that produces high amounts of P(HB-co-HHx) when grown on plant oils. This R. eutropha strain was grown to high cell densities using batch, extended batch, and fed batch fermentation strategies, in which PHA accumulation was triggered by nitrogen limitation. …”

Accelerating throughput-aware runtime mapping for heterogeneous MPSoCs by Singh, Amit Kumar, Kumar, Akash, Srikanthan, Thambipillai

“…Experimental results reveal that the proposed approach provides faster DSE, better design points, and efficient runtime mapping when compared to other approaches. In particular, we show that DSE is faster by 83&percnt; and runtime mapping is accelerated by 93&percnt; for some cases. …”

Adaptive regional feedback control of robotic manipulator with uncertain kinematics and depth information by Li, X., Cheah, Chien Chern

“…While much progress has been achieved in taskspace control of robot, existing task-space sensory feedback control methods fail when the sensor is out of working range. In this paper, we propose an adaptive regional feedback control strategy that enables the robot to start from an initial position outside the field of view and leave the field of view during the movement. …”

Hermitian self-dual abelian codes by Jitman, Somphong, Ling, San, Solé, Patrick

“…Based on the characterization obtained, the number of Hermitian self-dual abelian codes in F22l [A Z2k ] can be determined easily. When A is cyclic, this result answers an open problem of Jia et al. concerning Hermitian self-dual cyclic codes. …”

Chemical dispersant enhances microbial exopolymer (EPS) production and formation of marine oil/dispersant snow in surface waters of the subarctic northeast Atlantic by Suja, Laura Duran, Chen, Xindi, Summers, Stephen, Paterson, David M., Gutierrez, Tony

“…Our findings emphasize the need to conduct further work on the effects of dispersants when applied to oil spills at sea, particularly at different sites, and to determine how the product of this (i.e. …”

Study of the thermal decomposition of PFPEs lubricants on a thin DLC film using finitely extensible nonlinear elastic potential based molecular dynamics simulation by Deb Nath, S. K., Wong, C. H.

“…We study the effect of breaking of bonds of nonfunctional lubricant PFPE Z, functional lubricants such as PFPE Zdol and PFPE Ztetrao, and multidented functional lubricants such as ARJ-DS, ARJ-DD, and OHJ-DS on a DLC substrate with the increase of temperature when heating of all of the lubricants on a DLC substrate is carried out isothermally using the coarse-grained bead spring model by molecular dynamics simulations and suitable lubricant is selected which is suitable on a DLC substrate at high temperature.…”

SemFunSim : a new method for measuring disease similarity by integrating semantic and gene functional association by Cheng, Liang, Li, Jie, Ju, Peng, Peng, Jiajie, Wang, Yadong

“…Results The high average AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) (96.37%) shows that SemFunSim achieves a high true positive rate and a low false positive rate. 79 of the top 100 pairs of similar diseases identified by SemFunSim are annotated in the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) as being targeted by the same therapeutic compounds, while other methods we compared could identify 35 or less such pairs among the top 100. Moreover, when using our method on diseases without annotated compounds in CTD, we could confirm many of our predicted candidate compounds from literature. …”

3D carbon/cobalt-nickel mixed-oxide hybrid nanostructured arrays for asymmetric supercapacitors by Zhu, Jianhui, Jiang, Jian, Sun, Zhipeng, Luo, Jingshan, Fan, Zhanxi, Huang, Xintang, Zhang, Hua, Yu, Ting

“…Thanks to their interconnected three-dimensionally arrayed architecture and mesoporous nature, the C/CoNi3O4 NA electrode exhibits a large specific capacitance of 1299 F/g and a superior rate performance, demonstrating 78% capacity retention even when the discharge current jumps by 100 times. An optimized asymmetric supercapacitor with the C/CoNi3O4 NAs as the positive electrode is fabricated. …”

The application of nitric oxide to control biofouling of membrane bioreactors by Rice, Scott A., Luo, Jinxue, Zhang, Jinsong, Barnes, Robert J., Tan, Xiaohui, McDougald, Diane, Fane, Anthony G., Zhuang, Guoqiang, Kjelleberg, Staffan, Cohen, Yehuda

“…A novel strategy to control membrane bioreactor (MBR) biofouling using the nitric oxide (NO) donor compound PROLI NONOate was examined. When the biofilm was pre-established on membranes at transmembrane pressure (TMP) of 88–90 kPa, backwashing of the membrane module with 80 μM PROLI NONOate for 45 min once daily for 37 days reduced the fouling resistance (Rf) by 56%. …”
