This article presents a critical review on the recent advances in carbon-based metal-free catalysts for fuel cells and metal-air batteries, and discusses the perspectives and challenges in this rapidly developing field of practical significance.

This article demonstrates that free electrons from distinct 2D dopant layers coalesce into a homogeneous 3D conductor using anisotropic quantum interference measurements, atom probe tomography, and density functional theory.

This paper introduces several extractive approaches for automatic image tagging, relying exclusively on information mined from texts. Through evaluations on two datasets, the authors show that their methods exceed competitive baselines by a large margin, and compare favorably with the state-of-the-art that uses both textual and image features.

This article discusses PageRank on semantic networks, with application to word sense disambiguation.

This paper from the 9th International Conference on Future Networks and Communications, FNC 2014 conference proceedings describes a wireless sensor network system developed using open-source hardware platforms, Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

This article proposes a one-step wood modification method by combining the deposition of ZnO particles on wood surface and heat treatment.

Article describes how today's large-scale scientific applications running on high-performance computing (HPC) systems generate vast data volumes. Thus, data compression is becoming a critical technique to mitigate the storage burden and data-movement cost. In this paper, the authors develop a fast and high- ratio error-bounded lossy compressor on GPUs for scientific data (called FZ-GPU).

This article conducts a direct comparison between the oxidation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-4V + 1B to elucidate whether the addition of boron to Ti-^Al-4V impacts the oxidation behavior.

This paper investigates a new task, subjectivity word sense disambiguation (SWSD), which is to automatically determine which word instances in a corpus are being used with subjective senses, and which are being used with objective senses.

This paper discusses cross-lingual semantic relatedness using encyclopedic knowledge.

This paper analyses user messages on an online cancer support community, Cancer Survivors Network (CSN), to identify the two types of social support present: emotional support and informational support.

This paper describes an approach to determine whether people participate in the events they tweet about.

This paper complements semantic role representations with spatial knowledge beyond indicating plain locations.

This paper proposes PositionRank, an unsupervised model for keyphrase extraction from scholarly documents that incorporates information from all positions of a word's occurrences into a biased PageRank.

Article describes precession electron diffraction (PED), which makes possible the very accurate and automated quantitative characterization of technically interesting materials that historically have been difficult to analyze due to their dimensions and/or degree of deformation, including specifically ultrafine-grained metallic structures with high dislocation densities.

Article describes experiment where researchers synthesized a PEGylated isoniazid (PEG-g-INH or PEG–INH) by gamma radiation-induced polymerization for the first time.

Article exploring graph node property prediction. Originally presented as part of the application track at the 38th International Conference on Logic Programming in Haifa, Israel.

This article evaluates the properties of the chemically retted kenaf bast fiber impregnated with the inorganic nanoparticles.

Article provides an overview of recent progress in superlubricity research involving solid, liquid, and gaseous media and discuss the prospects for achieving superlubricity in engineering applications leading to greater efficiency, durability, environmental quality, and hence global sustainability.

This paper proposes a novel code-based threshold ring signature scheme with a leader-participant model.

Data management plan for the grant "FY2021 DARPA YFA: Next generation of wireless power transfer network of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) using electromechanical beamforming." Research aiming to develop the next generation of wireless power transfer (WPT) network that is scalable, safe, and efficient and can be deployed in a UAS by incorporating waveform engineering, electromechanical beamforming, integrated phased-array antenna, and transmitter (TX)/receiver (RX) co-design. This project aims to reveal the fundamental understanding of the energy sphere formation in a 3D space using UAVs as a case study. Although interests in radiative (far-field) WPT using beamforming has been growing rapidly because of its capability to energize a large number of autonomous devices, most of these works are still in the theoretical phase without any practical implementation. This project aims to implement a robust beamforming network using a bottom-up approach (from the antenna to the inter-connected network) that is highly important for addressing the challenges associated with a dynamically changing environment.

Article describes study evaluating the electro-catalytic behavior of recently developed Pt-, Pd-, and Pt/Pd-based metallic glasses using scanning electrochemical microscopy.

Article describes a study in which a micro milling process was used to manufacture AISI 316L stainless steel needles arrays with a conical geometry (i.e., a base diameter and height of 1 mm by 1 mm, respectively), and an analysis of tool wear on ball nose micro end milling tools with a diameter of ~200 μm was performed to evaluate the use of lubricant in the manufacture of those conical surfaces.

Paper presents a model that simulates the 2013–2014 French Polynesia Zika outbreak, incorporating the temperature dependent mosquito ecology and the local transit network (flights and ferries), highlighting the importance of human travel patterns and mosquito population dynamics in a disease outbreak.
