Synthesis of Graphene Oxide-Polystyrene Graft Polymer Based on Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer and Its Effect on Properties, Crystallization, and Rheological Behav... by Li Yang, Weijun Zhen

“…Compared with pure PLA, the crystallinity of PLA/SGO-PS (0.3 wt%) nanocomposites was increased by 5 times. Multiple melting behavior tests showed that the introduction of SGO-PS caused the PLA molecular chain to be discharged into the unit cell in time, and the melting temperature shifted to a higher temperature, which ultimately made the grain structure of PLA composites more complete and stable than pure PLA. …”

The Detection Rate of Associated Mg ii Absorption Lines in Quasars Depends on Their Radio Emission by Zhi-Fu Chen, Luis C. Ho

“…Our analysis reveals that evolved quasars exhibit a significantly higher incidence of Mg ii -associated absorption lines compared to younger sources, particularly among quasars with “nonpeaked” radio spectra, which show an incidence of Mg ii -associated absorbers approximately 1.7 times greater than that of gigahertz-peaked spectrum sources. …”

The Gluon Sivers Distribution: Status and Future Prospects by Daniël Boer, Cédric Lorcé, Cristian Pisano, Jian Zhou

“…SIDIS data, including the COMPASS deuteron data, allow for a gluon Sivers contribution of natural size expected from large Nc arguments, which is O(1/Nc) times the nonsinglet quark Sivers contribution. Several very promising processes to measure the gluon Sivers effect directly have been suggested, which besides RHIC investigations, would strongly favor experiments at AFTER@LHC and a possible future Electron-Ion Collider. …”

A novel paradigm for fast training data generation in asynchronous movement-based BCIs by Markus R. Crell, Kyriaki Kostoglou, Kathrin Sterk, Gernot R. Müller-Putz, Gernot R. Müller-Putz

“…Such paradigms tend to introduce long delays between trials, thereby extending training times. To address this, we propose a novel experimental paradigm that enables the collection of 300 cued movement trials in 18 min.MethodsBy obtaining measurements from ten participants, we demonstrate that the data produced by this paradigm exhibits characteristics similar to those observed during self-paced movement.Results and discussionWe also show that classifiers trained on this data can be used to accurately detect executed movements with an average true positive rate of 31.8% at a maximum rate of 1.0 false positives per minute.…”

Rolling Bearings Fault Diagnosis under Variable Speed Conditions Based on Multitime-Frequency Ridge Extraction by Qing Xiong, Yixuan Li, Xiaoli Qiu, Dong Yu, Weihua Zhang, Qingze Chen

“…A fast path optimization-based multitime-frequency ridge extraction (FPOMRE) method is proposed in this paper to address the problem. First, the time-frequency representation of the fault signal is obtained through the adaptive short-time Fourier transform (STFT), and then the FPOMRE algorithm is used to extract additional ridges below the lowest time-frequency ridge multiple times. …”
