This article describes the final solution 1 of team monkeytyping, who finished in second place in the YouTube-8M video understanding challenge. The dataset used in this challenge is a large-scale benchmark for multi-label video classification. We extend the work in [1] and propose several improvements for frame sequence modeling. We propose a network structure called Chaining that can better ca...

Abstract: Effects of aspect ratio, sweep angle, and stacking sequence of laminated composites were studied to find the optimized configuration of an aeroelastically tailored composite wing idealized as a flat plate in terms of flutter speed. The aeroelastic analysis has been carried out in frequency-domain. The 2D finite element analysis in conjunction with Doublet-lattice Method (DLM) has been...

Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), the gold standard of molecular typing methods, has a major disadvantage of an unusually long electrophoretic time. From the original protocol of 6 days, it was modified to 3 days and subsequently to a single day. We describe the procedure of stacking five to six gels one on top of another in order to increase and maximize the output in a shorter time wit...

Tin alloy-based anodes supported by inverse-opal nanoscaffolds undergo large volume changes from (de)lithiation during cyclic battery (dis)charging, affecting their mechanical stability. We perform continuum mechanics-based simulation to study the evolution of internal stresses and strains as a function of the geometry of the active layer(s): (i) thickness of Ni3Sn2 single layer (30 and 60 nm) ...

Current study reported a facile method to investigate the effects of stacking sequence layers of hybrid composite materials on ballistic energy absorption by running the ballistic test at the high velocity ballistic impact conditions. The velocity and absorbed energy were accordingly calculated as well. The specimens were fabricated from Kevlar, carbon, and glass woven fabrics and resin and wer...

stability of the ;-; stacking interactions in the substituted-coronene||cyclooctatetraene complexes wasstudied using the computational quantum chemistry methods (where || denotes ;–; stackinginteraction, and substituted-coronene is coronene which substituted with four similar x groups; x =oh, sh, h, f, cn, and no). there are meaningful correlations between changes of geometricalparameters and t...

We consider storage loading problems where items with uncertain weights have to be loaded into a storage area, taking into account stacking and payload constraints. Following the robust optimization paradigm, we propose strict and adjustable optimization models for finite and interval-based uncertainties. To solve these problems, exact decomposition and heuristic solution algorithms are develop...

Bulk material blending systems still mostly implement static and nonreactive material blending methods like the well-known Chevron stacking. The optimization potential in the existing systems which can be made available using quality analyzing methods as online X-ray fluorescence measurement is inspected in detail in this paper using a multi-objective optimization approach based on steady state...

By the virtue of the nature of the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth process in semiconductor nanowires (NWs) and their small size, the nucleation, propagation, and termination of stacking defects in NWs are dramatically different from that in thin films. We demonstrate germanium-silicon axial NW heterostructure growth by the VLS method with 100% composition modulation and use these structures as...
