Inflationary Universe from Anomaly-Free FR-Gravity by Aroonkumar Beesham, Kazuharu Bamba

“…By adding a three-dimensional manifold to an eleven-dimensional manifold in supergravity, we obtain the action of FR-gravity and find that it is anomaly-free. We calculate the scale factor of the inflationary universe in this model and observe that it is related to the slow-roll parameters. …”

Simple Hybrid Scaling-Free CORDIC Solution for FPGAs by Leonid Moroz, Shinobu Nagayama, Taras Mykytiv, Ihor Kirenko, Taras Boretskyy

“…This paper presents the theoretical basis and practical implementation of circular (sine-cosine) CORDIC-based generator. Synthesis results of this generator based on Altera Stratix III FPGA (EP3SL340F1517C2) using Quartus II version 9.0 show that the proposed hybrid FPGA architecture significantly reduces latency (42% reduction) with a small area overhead, compared to the conventional version. …”

Separating nanobubble nucleation for transfer-resistance-free electrocatalysis by Shasha Guo, Maolin Yu, Jinn-Kye Lee, Mengyi Qiu, Dundong Yuan, Zhili Hu, Chao Zhu, Yao Wu, Zude Shi, Wei Ma, Shuangyin Wang, Yongmin He, Zhengyang Zhang, Zhuhua Zhang, Zheng Liu

“…Using platinum-interfacial metal layer-graphene as model systems, we demonstrate that the strong binding energy between interfacial metal layer and graphene—evidenced by a reduced metal-support distance and enhanced charge transfer—facilitates hydrogen spillover from platinum to the graphene support due to lower energy barriers compared to the platinum-graphene system. …”
