Discrete coordination nanochains based on photoluminescent dyes reveal intrachain exciton migration dynamics by Ryojun Toyoda, Naoya Fukui, Haru Taniguchi, Hiroki Uratani, Joe Komeda, Yuta Chiba, Hikaru Takaya, Hiroshi Nishihara, Ryota Sakamoto

“…While great efforts have been made to understand picosecond phenomena by ultrafast spectroscopy, ambiguous molecular conformations and/or random polymer sequences have hindered the construction of an ideal exciton migration model. Here we present the creation of unique end-capped coordination nanochains and quantitative description of intrachain exciton migration therein. …”

Research on wear and grinding models of high-speed turnouts based on semi-Hertz contact by Jincheng Li, Yayun Qi, Pengpeng Wu, Junjun Ding, Haohao Ding

“…Comparative analysis of various models for predicting turnout rail wear indicates that the wear energy model is better suited for this purpose. The ideal profile update step for the turnout rail is 0.05 mm, and the adaptive filtering algorithm, tailored to the turnout characteristics, smooths wear distribution effectively while retaining crucial data features. …”

Robust Tracking Control for Vehicle Lateral Dynamics with Uncertain Parameters and External Nonlinearities by Huihui Pan, Yifu Zhang, Weichao Sun

“…In order to compromise the two indexes, the desired sideslip angle is planned as a new reference signal, instead of the ideal “zero.” As a result, the designed controller not only accomplishes the control purposes mentioned above, but also effectively attenuates both the changes of vehicle mass and the variations of cornering stiffness. …”
