Influence of soil type on chemiresistive detection of buried ANFO by Lefferts, MJ, Castell, MR

“…Ammonium nitrate/fuel oil (ANFO) is one of the most commonly used materials for improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Stand-off ANFO vapour sensors that are small, inexpensive, and easy to use will allow for the detection of IEDs in security and humanitarian settings. …”

A Deep-Learning Based Solution to Automatically Control Closure and Seal of Pizza Packages by Nuria Banus, Imma Boada, Anton Bardera, Pol Toldra

“…Focusing on the hardware, line-scan technology and hyperspectral imaging has been considered to ensure that all relevant information can be acquired independently of the pizza brand, topping, and film features. Focusing on the software, this applies a three-phases strategy that, first, applies a set of basic rejection controls; second, identifies the sealing region; and third, prepares the data for prediction through the classification of the pizzas using a deep learning network. …”

Improved Performance of NbO_x Resistive Switching Memory by In-Situ N Doping by Jing Xu, Yuanyuan Zhu, Yong Liu, Hongjun Wang, Zhaorui Zou, Hongyu Ma, Xianke Wu, Rui Xiong

“…The improved performance was mainly attributed to the formation of oxygen vacancy (V_O) + 2N clusters, which greatly reduced the ionic conductivity and total energy of the system, thus increasing the on/off ratio and stability. Moreover, because of the presence of Vo + 2N clusters, the conductive filaments grew in more localized directions, which led to a concentrated distribution of SET and RESET voltages. …”

Full thermal experimental assessment of a dendritic turbine vane cooling scheme by Luque, S, Batstone, J, Gillespie, D, Povey, T, Romero, E

“…The dendritic system will be shown to offer improved overall cooling effectiveness at a reduced cooling mass flow rate due to a more uniform film cooling effectiveness, a decreased tendency for films to lift off in regions of low external cross flow, improved through-wall heat transfer and internal cooling efficiency, increased internal wetted surface area of the cooling holes, and the enhanced turbulence induced in them.…”

Badminton Activity Recognition Using Accelerometer Data by Tim Steels, Ben Van Herbruggen, Jaron Fontaine, Toon De Pessemier, David Plets, Eli De Poorter

Structural, optical and thermal properties of as-prepared and annealed gold-coated porous silicon by Behzad, Kasra

“…In this study, porous silicon (PSi) layers were prepared on n-type silicon (Si) substrates using the anodization method. Three sets of PSi samples were prepared under different current densities (10, 20, and 30 mA/cm2), where each set consisted of six samples that were prepared at different etching times (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min). …”
