A novel alkaline polymer has been developed as an interfacial material for use in the preparation of metal-cation-free alkaline membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for all-solid-state alkaline fuel cells (AFCs) with long-term performance stability.

Medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) and high-entropy (HEAs) are composed of mixtures equal or relatively large proportions three more elements, distinctly different from traditional metallic which contain one two major components with smaller amounts other elements. Recently MEAs HEAs have received extensive research attention because they found to possess superior mechanical performance, unusual ther...

Abstract. Heterogeneous reactions occurring at the surface of atmospheric aerosol particles regulate production and lifetime a wide array gases. Aerosol area plays critical role in setting rate heterogeneous atmosphere. Despite central area, there are few assessments accuracy concentrations regional global models. In this study, we compare EPA's Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model wit...

The green-H2 production through water electrolysis from renewable energies is vital in the context of developing a sustainable and cost-effective methodology. Anion exchange membrane electrolyzer (AEMWE) considered as promising energy conversion device, which can be an alternative to fossil fuel-based energyplatforms. AEMWE employ inexpensive nonprecious metal catalysts current collectors, pref...

Modern drug discovery for Central Nervous System pathologies has recently focused its attention to in vitro neuronal networks as models for the study of neuronal activities. Micro Electrode Arrays (MEAs), a widely recognized tool for pharmacological investigations, enable the simultaneous study of the spiking activity of discrete regions of a neuronal culture, providing an insight into the dyna...

In this paper we show how to model syntax and semantics of stochastic processes with continuous states, respectively as algebras and coalgebras of suitable endofunctors over the category of measurable spaces Meas. Moreover, we present an SOS-like rule format, called MGSOS, representing abstract GSOS over Meas, and yielding fully abstract universal semantics, for which behavioral equivalence is ...

This paper is concerned with the study of the wave equation on compact surfaces and locally distributed damping, described by utt −∆Mu+ a(x) g(ut) = 0 on M× ]0,∞[ , where M ⊂ R is a smooth oriented embedded compact surface without boundary. Denoting by g the Riemannian metric induced on M by R, we prove that for each ǫ > 0, there exist an open subset V ⊂ M and a smooth function f : M → R such t...

Being capable of finding a set of pareto–optimal solutions in a single run, which is a necessary feature for multi–criteria decision making, Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) has attracted many researchers and practitioners to address the solution of Multiobjective Optimization Problems (MOPs). In a previous work, we developed a Pareto Differential Evolution (PDE) algorithm to handle multiobjective...

Today, multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) capture neuronal spike streams in real time, thus providing dynamic perspectives into brain function. Mining such spike streams from these MEAs is critical towards understanding the firing patterns of neurons and gaining insight into the underlying cellular activity. However, the acquisition rate of neuronal data places a tremendous computational burden on t...

Silicon micromachined, high-density, pyramid-shaped neural microelectrode arrays (MEAs) have been designed and fabricated for intracortical 3D recording and stimulation. The novel architecture of this MEA has made it unique among the currently available micromachined electrode arrays, as it has provided higher density contacts between the electrodes and targeted neural tissue facilitating recor...
