Theoretical Investigation on the Solubilization in Water of Functionalized Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes by Michael Mananghaya, Emmanuel Rodulfo, Gil Nonato Santos, Al Rey Villagracia

“…The functionalization increases the electrical dipole moments and results in an enhancement in the solubility of the nanotubes in water manifested through favorable changes in the free energies of solvation. This should lower the toxicity of nanotubes and improve their biocompatibility.…”

Research on autonomous navigation of mobile robots based on IA-DWA algorithm by Quanling He, Zongyan Wang, Kun Li, Yuting Zhang, Menglong Li

“…Abstract To improve the efficiency of mobile robot movement, this paper investigates the fusion of the A* algorithm with the Dynamic Window Approach (DWA) algorithm (IA-DWA) to quickly search for globally optimal collision-free paths and avoid unknown obstacles in time. First, the data from the odometer and the inertial measurement unit (IMU) are fused using the extended Kalman filter (EKF) to reduce the error caused by wheel slippage on the mobile robot’s positioning and improve the mobile robot’s positioning accuracy. …”
