Free-Boundary Seepage from Asymmetric Soil Channels by Adrian Carabineanu

“…We present an inverse method for the study of the seepage from soil channels without lining. We give integral representations of the complex potential, velocity field, stream lines, free phreatic lines, and contour of the channel by means of Levi-Civitá's function ω. …”

Collusion-free public-key traitor tracing scheme by WANG Qing-long1, YANG Bo2, HAN Zhen1, GENG Xiu-hua1

“…However , how to prevent traitors from colluding a valid key is a open problem. A new traitor tracing scheme was presented, in which traitors can not get a valid key by conspiracy, no matter how many traitors there were because each user’s decryption key was independent of any others. …”

Links of non-free mechanical man-made systems by P. D. Balakin

“…The paper gives a complete classification of the links of non-free mechanical technogenic systems. It is shown that the joint use of holonomic and non-holonomic constraints in mechanical systems allows the creation of systems with adaptive properties. …”

Separating nanobubble nucleation for transfer-resistance-free electrocatalysis by Shasha Guo, Maolin Yu, Jinn-Kye Lee, Mengyi Qiu, Dundong Yuan, Zhili Hu, Chao Zhu, Yao Wu, Zude Shi, Wei Ma, Shuangyin Wang, Yongmin He, Zhengyang Zhang, Zhuhua Zhang, Zheng Liu

“…Using platinum-interfacial metal layer-graphene as model systems, we demonstrate that the strong binding energy between interfacial metal layer and graphene—evidenced by a reduced metal-support distance and enhanced charge transfer—facilitates hydrogen spillover from platinum to the graphene support due to lower energy barriers compared to the platinum-graphene system. …”
