Photoelectrochemical Conversion from Graphitic C3N4 Quantum Dot Decorated Semiconductor Nanowires
(
American Chemical Society
, 2016 , Article)
Despite the recent progress of developing graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as a metal-free photocatalyst, the synthesis of nanostructured g-C3N4 has still remained a complicated and time-consuming approach from its bulk ...
Epitaxial Growth of Lattice-Mismatched Core-Shell TiO2@MoS2 for Enhanced Lithium-Ion Storage
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Core-shell structured nanohybrids are currently of significant interest due to their synergetic properties and enhanced performances. However, the restriction of lattice mismatch remains a severe obstacle for heterogrowth ...
Do changes in current flow as a result of arrays of tidal turbines have an effect on benthic communities?
(
Public Library of Science
, 2016 , Article)
Arrays of tidal energy converters have the potential to provide clean renewable energy for future generations. Benthic communities may, however, be affected by changes in current speeds resulting from arrays of tidal ...
Face Recognition in the Scrambled Domain via Salience-Aware Ensembles of Many Kernels
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
With the rapid development of Internet-of-Things (IoT), face scrambling has been proposed for privacy protection during IoT-targeted image/video distribution. Consequently, in these IoT applications, biometric verification ...
Targeting dopaminergic system for treating nicotine dependence
(
Bentham Science Publishers B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
Background: Smoking is the world's leading cause of preventable death among populations. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of numerous health problems, including heart diseases, stroke, atherosclerosis and many types ...
Graphene oxide reinforced polyvinyl alcohol/polyethylene glycol blend composites as high-performance dielectric material
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2016 , Article)
Novel flexible dielectric composites composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and graphene oxide (GO) with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss have been developed using facile and ...
Steady-State Equivalent Circuit of Five-Phase Induction Machines with Different Stator Connections under Open-Line Conditions
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
The steady-state modeling of multiphase induction machines (IMs) with m phases under open-line fault conditions is usually carried out based on symmetrical component theory. Hence, the estimation of the machine characteristic ...
Impact of thinning on carbon storage of dead organic matter across larch and oak stands in South Korea
(
SISEF - Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology
, 2016 , Article)
Dead organic matter is important in carbon (C) sequestration because it accounts for a significant proportion of forest C storage. As thinning could alter the C storage of dead organic matter, this study aimed to assess ...
Improvement of thermal conductivity of paraffin by adding expanded graphite
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper investigated the use of graphite with different configuration designs to improve the thermal energy storage of phase change material systems. Two types of graphite have been combined with paraffin in order to ...
