Bilayer graphene has attracted wide attention due to its unique band structure and bandgap tunability under specific (Bernal or AB) stacking order. However, it remains challenging to tailor the stacking order and to simultaneously produce large-scale and high-quality bilayer graphene. This work introduces a fast and reliable method of growing high-quality Bernal stacked large-area (>3 in. × 3 i...

Recently, Sloane and Sellers solved a certain box stacking problem related to non– squashing partitions. These are defined as partitions n = p1 + p2 + · · · + pk with 1 ≤ p1 ≤ p2 ≤ · · · ≤ pk wherein p1 + · · · + pj ≤ pj+1 for 1 ≤ j ≤ k − 1. Sloane has also hinted at a generalized box stacking problem which is closely related to generalized non–squashing partitions. We solve this generalized bo...

Stacking interactions in free bases were computed on the basis of molecular association. The results of the calculations were compared with the stacking patterns observed in a few single crystals of nucleic acid components as examples. The following are the conclusions: (i) there can be two types of stacking pattern classified as normal and inverted types for any two interacting bases and both ...

Stacking faults in CoCrTa/Cr, CoCrPt/NiAl, and CoCrPt/Cr/NiAl films have been studied by electron diffraction. Interfacial lattice match and epitaxial growth play important roles in reducing the stacking fault density. It is found that the bicrystal media has large stacking fault densities. In the unicrystal media case, when good epitaxy between magnetic layer and underlayer cannot be achieved,...

Basal-plane stacking faults in wurtzite AlN, GaN, and InN are studied using density-functionalpseudopotential calculations. The formation energies follow the trend exhibited for the zinc-blende/wurtzite energy differences in the bulk materials, namely, lowest energy for GaN and highest for AlN. Type-I stacking faults have the lowest energy, followed by type-II stacking faults, and finally extri...

Object-stacking is a model for structuring object based systems. The main feature of object-stacking is that layers of objects with a uniform interface are constructed, and the functions of these objects are integrated. The effectiveness of object-stacking has been shown for file systems of distributed operating systems. This paper presents the application of the object-stacking model to the Wo...

Stacking fault tetrahedra, the three-dimensional crystalline defects bounded by stacking faults and stair-rod dislocations, are often observed in quenched or irradiated face-centred cubic metals and alloys. All of the stacking fault tetrahedra experimentally observed to date are believed to originate from vacancies. Here we report, in contrast to the classical vacancy-originated ones, a new kin...

We have identified a 55 kDa protein, named GRASP55 (Golgi reassembly stacking protein of 55 kDa), as a component of the Golgi stacking machinery. GRASP55 is homologous to GRASP65, an N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive membrane protein required for the stacking of Golgi cisternae in a cell-free system. GRASP65 exists in a complex with the vesicle docking protein receptor GM130 to which it binds directly...

during the last decades a new class of materials named fiber/metal laminates (fmls) was introduced. it is a hybrid composite consisting of alternating thin layers of metal sheets and fiber-reinforced composite material. fmls have both low weight and good mechanical properties. in this study, the impact behavior of this attractive material is investigated. the effect of fiber angle, stacking seq...

A b s t r a c t : Support vector machines (SVMs) are primarily designed for 2-class classification problems. Although in several papers it is mentioned that the combination of K SVMs can be used to solve a K-class classification problem, such a procedure requires some care. In this paper, the scaling problem of different SVMs is highlighted. Various normalization methods are proposed to cope wi...
