Ab Initio Study of the Structures, Bonding Interactions, and Thermal Stability of the Li-Decorated 2D Biphenylene Sheet by María Begoña Torres, Alexandre Lebon, Luis Enrique González, Luis Javier Gallego, Andrés Vega

“…Moreover, we found striking phenomena that had not been detected yet, such as the formation of Li zigzag wires and metallic Li monolayers on the biphenylene sheet beyond a certain coverage threshold. In our calculations, we use high-level density-functional theory, quantum chemical topology analysis, and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. …”

Digital Precoders for Partially Spectral Overlapping Subarrays in mmWave Satellite Communications by Feng-Chin Hsiao, Meng-Lin Ku, Yan-Zhou Song

“…With the emergence of sixth-generation (6G) wireless services, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications are increasingly recognized as a promising solution for providing extensive wireless coverage to terrestrial users. Subarray-based hybrid beamforming offers an efficient implementation method in millimeter wave (mmWave) communications; however, current approaches that use either non-overlapping or fully overlapping spectrum for subarrays may result in inefficient spectrum usage or severe inter-beam interference. …”

Communication in Disaster—The Contribution of the Press to Highlighting Vulnerabilities: The Case of Rio Grande Do Sul State, Brazil by Fernando Pereira Silva, Osvaldo Luiz Leal de Moraes, Rita de Cassia Marques Alves, Marcia Cristina Barbosa, José Antonio Marengo

“…In this article, we explore the role of the media in highlighting an important yet often underestimated aspect of disasters: vulnerability. We use coverage of a disaster that occurred in Brazil’s southernmost state to demonstrate that the effects of a disaster extend far beyond the intensity of the extreme event itself. …”

Acute management of skin tears with mesh grafting: a prospective study and cost-benefit analysis by Oliver Chow, Matthew Davies, Daniel Ricciardello, Therese Pham, Johnny Kwei

“…The cost to the healthcare system is consistent with the pilot study, with a significant difference between discharge from the emergency department post-procedure and formal grafting and admission for five to seven days. **Conclusion**: Use of the mesh protocol creates wound coverage and prevents the need for formal skin grafting, and reduces costs associated with formal operations and hospital admissions.…”

Short-Term Wind Power Interval Forecasting Based on an EEMD-RT-RVM Model by Haixiang Zang, Lei Fan, Mian Guo, Zhinong Wei, Guoqiang Sun, Li Zhang

“…First, in order to reduce the complexity of data, the original wind power sequence is decomposed into a plurality of intrinsic mode function (IMF) components and residual (RES) component by using EEMD. Next, we use the RT method to reconstruct the components and obtain three new components characterized by the fine-to-coarse order. …”
