Drs Papathanasiou & Pini, and colleagues present a model-based approach for efficient design of sorbent-based post-combustion carbon capture. They quantify operability-cost trade-offs and identify suitable candidate designs that satisfy CO2 purity and recovery constraints.
Carver and Zhou demonstrate the potential of state-of polarization sensing when applied to unmodified, terrestrial fiber-optic networks. This type of sensing is shown to detect events of both anthropic and seismic origin.
Liam Cronin and colleagues develop an end-to-end approach for crowdsourcing vibration data from cell phones in vehicles to extract bridge vibration characteristics known to be sensitive to structural damage.
Chul Kim and colleagues show a sensor display which is able to capture biometric data. In one device, they combine fingerprint identification and biomarker estimation while maintaining the same display quality.
Mengjia He and colleagues mitigate unwanted interference between inductive coils in multi-detector nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Their framework enables a compensation mechanism and enhances the parallelisation capacity.
Shuai Liu, Bin Chen and colleagues improve imaging speed and reduced phototoxicity in confocal microimaging by building a deep compressive confocal microscope. Digital micromirror acts as a coding mask for deep learning-based reconstruction algorithms.
