Progress in mid-infrared optoelectronics for high-speed free-space data throughput by Frédéric Grillot, Thomas Poletti, Salvatore Pes

“…MWIR and LWIR are superior for transmission through fog, clouds, and dust, with LWIR offering stealth advantages thanks to natural thermal radiation. In addition, mid-infrared wavelengths benefit from reduced atmospheric scattering and signal distortion, making them much more reliable for free-space optical communications. …”

Conceptualization of Vehicle-to-Grid Contract Types and Their Formalization in Agent-Based Models by Esther H. Park Lee, Zofia Lukszo, Paulien Herder

“…To integrate FCEVs through vehicle-to-grid (V2G), agreements are needed between the FCEV owners and the actor that coordinates V2G on behalf of them, usually considered the aggregator. In this paper, we argue that, depending on the purpose of providing V2G and the goal of the system or the aggregator, different types of contracts are needed, not currently considered in the literature. …”

SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE EXPRESSIONS IN “FEATURE” OF THE JAKARTA POST by Tri Rohani, Safnil Arsyad

“…This means that using simile and conceptual meaning in the news presentation of “feature” in The Jakarta Post were effective in order to help the readers easier in understanding the news presented in The Jakarta Post. Therefore, it is then recommended that teachers can bring this type of authentic material to school so the students are motivated and encourged to learn more things in English especially about figurative language and types of meanings…”

Optimization Design of Node Placement Manipulators Based on Working Area and Response Speed by Huang Zhiqiang, Duan Yuxing, Song Xiaowei, Wang Jie, Fu Mingwei, Sun Haoxiang, Li Gang

“…As the key equipment of data acquisition in oil and gas exploration, the node can be replaced by a mechanical arm because of its long-term continuous work and high efficiency, but the structure rigidity is weak and the motion ability is poor, so the structure optimization and lightweight design are carried out to improve the structure rigidity and motion ability. Based on the screw theory, the forward kinematics equation of the manipulator with node placement is established, the global static stiffness index and the global velocity index considering the direction of the task are proposed, and the mathematical model of the size optimization of the node-placing manipulator is established. …”

Nanomechanical Characterization of Canine Femur Bone for Strain Rate Sensitivity in the Quasistatic Range under Dry versus Wet Conditions by Kun-Lin Lee, Marta Baldassarri, Nikhil Gupta, Dinesh Pinisetty, Malvin N. Janal, Nick Tovar, Paulo G. Coelho

“…No influence of the loading/unloading rates was observed between groups except for the elastic modulus measured at 1000 μN/s rate under dry conditions (P<0.001) and for the hardness measured at a rate of 10 μN/s under wet conditions (P<0.001). Therefore, for a quasistatic test with peak load of 2000 μN held for 30 s, it is recommended to nanoindent under wet conditions at a loading/unloading rate of 100–1000 μN/s, so the reduced creep effect allows for a more accurate computation of mechanical properties.…”
