Quasi-Resonance Effects Observed in The 1994 Northridge Earthquake, and Others by Edward G. Fischer, Thomas P. Fischer

“…Sine-beat phenomena have been found in the 1994 Northridge earthquake records, and they are capable of producing time-history responses and damaging quasi-resonance effects in structures. Linear, single DOF (degree of freedom) oscillators, in lieu of nonlinear, multiple DOF systems, have been found adequate to discuss the failures of tall circuit breakers during the 1971 San Fernando and the 1989 Loma Prieta quakes in California. …”

Tailoring CoFe2O4-modified activated carbon with improved selectivity for electrochemical detection of paracetamol in wastewater by S.D. Ndlovu, P.N. Nomngongo, T. Botha, B.O. Ojo, N. Mabuba

“…Due to its high porosity, cost-effectiveness, stability, and impressive electroactive surface area, the electrocatalytic behaviour of the AC-CoFe2O4 sensor displayed an enhanced performance, partly owing to the presence of numerous surface holes exhibited by its structure. The uniqueness of its structure was ascertained by a range of analytical methods, such as transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. …”

Co-decode algorithm of network coding with hardware logic by Hui LI, Ming-long ZHANG, Fu-xing CHEN, Han-xu HOU, Kai PAN, Wei WANG, Hu-sheng YUAN, Tao SUN

“…Practical general coder and decoder of network coding(NC)with HDL(hardware description language)logic for wire-speed nodes was presented.The NC coders applied random linear network coding (RLNC) and the decoders recovered the original packets by Cramer’s rule.The structures and algorithms of NC coder and decoder were designed in detail and implemented in HDL with NetFPGA boards.Comparing with traditional stored-and-forward mechanism,network emulations showed that networks with wire-speed NC coder and decoder nodes could achieve the capacity bound of max-flow min-cut theorem,and the end-to-end delay was guaranteed on a small constant.…”

Subloading-friction model with saturation of tangential contact stress by Koichi Hashiguchi, Masami Ueno

“…Abstract The incorporation of the saturation of the tangential contact stress with the increase of the normal contact stress is required for the analysis of the friction phenomenon of solids and structures subjected to a high normal contact stress, which cannot be described by the Coulomb friction condition, in which the tangential contact stress increases linearly with the increase of the normal contact stress. …”

Detail-preserving denoising of CT and MRI images via adaptive clustering and non-local means algorithm by Mohit Sharma, Ayush Dogra, Bhawna Goyal, Anita Gupta, Manob Jyoti Saikia

“…However, these modalities are inherently susceptible to Gaussian noise introduced during image acquisition, leading to degraded image quality and impaired visualization of critical anatomical structures. Effective denoising is therefore essential to enhance diagnostic accuracy while preserving fine details such as tissue textures and structural boundaries. …”

Aggregation-Induced Emission-Active Cyanostilbene-Based Liquid Crystals: Self-Assembly, Photophysical Property, and Multiresponsive Behavior by Bian Li, Junde Zhang, Juan Wang, Xiaofang Chen

“…Cyanostilbene (CS)-related conjugated groups can be considered as dual functional groups of AIEgen and mesogen to construct photoluminescent liquid crystals, and it is essential to study the relationship between their molecular structures and compound properties systematically. In this paper, we designed and synthesized linear and bent-shaped CS derivatives containing ester- and amide-connecting groups and different substituted numbers of alkoxy tails. …”
