Organic solvent-assisted control of hydrogel structures and properties by Zhou, Quan

“…This became possible for the following two reasons: 1) the addition of ethanol makes SA solution exhibit the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in which gelation occurred when the temperature was reduced below the sol-to-gel transition temperature, and 2) the presence of ethanol significantly increased the viscosity of SA solution and enhanced its shear-thinning feature, thus making it ideal for 3D printing. …”

Second order multi-object filtering with target interaction using determinantal point processes by Teoh, Timothy Zhisheng

“…Our approach relies on posterior moment formulas for the estimation of a general hidden point process after a thinning operation and a superposition with a Poisson Point Process (PPP), and on suitable approximation formulas of the determinantal point process hypothesis. …”

Enlightening of the low-dimensional high-TC superconductivity: bond contraction and electron dual polarization [低维高温超导的启示: 键收缩与电子双重极化] by Sun, Chang Qing

“…Second, atomic undercoordination of the O-Cu chains and the O-Cu planes shortens and stiffens the local O-Cu bond and lengthens and weakens the O:Cup nonbonding interactions associated with further enhancement of the Cup dipoles polarization, this process is the same as the O:H-O bond relaxation and polarization occurred to the skins of water and ice. Last, the electronphonon interaction is realized by the undercoordination-induced bond relaxation and the dual polarization by lone pairs and bond contraction. …”
