Boiling of Subcooled Liquid in a Flat Minichannel with a Graphene Coating by Kochkin D.Yu., Arkhipov V.E., Korepanova E.M., Zaitsev D.V.

“…The most important result is that the graphene coating provides a greater number of vaporization sites compared to the original copper without graphene, but does not have a significant effect on the heat transfer coefficient and boiling curves. It was also found that the graphene coating is unsta-ble on the copper surface and is almost completely destroyed during boiling for several tens of minutes. …”

Detecting Subtle Cyberattacks on Adaptive Cruise Control Vehicles: A Machine Learning Approach by Tianyi Li, Mingfeng Shang, Shian Wang, Raphael Stern

“…With the emergence of vehicles featuring advanced driver-assistance systems like adaptive cruise control (ACC) and additional automated driving functionalities, there has arisen a heightened potential for cyberattacks targeting these automated vehicles (AVs). While overt attacks that lead to collisions are more conspicuous, subtle attacks that slightly modify driving behaviors can cause widespread impacts, including increased congestion, fuel consumption, and crash risks without being easily detected. …”
