Natlog: a Lightweight Logic Programming Language with a Neuro-symbolic Touch (open access)

Natlog: a Lightweight Logic Programming Language with a Neuro-symbolic Touch

Article that introduces Natlog, a lightweight Logic Programming language, sharing Prolog's unification-driven execution model, but with a simplified syntax and semantics. The authors' proof-of-concept Natlog implementation is tightly embedded in the Python-based deep-learning ecosystem with focus on content-driven indexing of ground term datasets. As an overriding of the authors symbolic indexing algorithm, the same function can be delegated to a neural network, serving ground facts to Natlog's resolution engine. The open-source implementation is available as a Python package at t https://pypi.org/project/natlog/.

Ordering-mediated local nano-clustering results in unusually large Hall-Petch strengthening coefficients in high entropy alloys (open access)

Ordering-mediated local nano-clustering results in unusually large Hall-Petch strengthening coefficients in high entropy alloys

This article reports a dramatic increase in the grain boundary strengthening or Hall-Petch coefficient, K, by systematically investigating the effect of Al addition on tensile yield strength in CoFeNi and CoCrFeNi high entropy alloys (HEAs) or complex concentrated alloys (CCAs). Such a trend is attributed to the ordering mediated nano-clustering in Al containing HEA/CCAs.

Self-powered Wireless Sensors and Interfaces for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (open access)

Self-powered Wireless Sensors and Interfaces for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Data management plan for the grant, "Self-powered Wireless Sensors and Interfaces for UAVs." Self-powered wireless sensors acting as nanogenerators can not only harvest ambient environment energy during the flight but also are capable of wirelessly monitoring pressure, temperature and other parameters to make the UAV truly an intelligent transportation system (ITS). This proposal requests the acquisition of a Mask Aligner to pattern such self-powered sensors with nano-antenna structures for wireless communication. The addition of the proposed system will enable researchers to study novel 2D materials as self-powered sensors and actuators. The proposed infrastructure would allow the development of smart, autonomous mobility systems with breakthroughs in intelligent technologies, research and workforce preparation.
