The leakage current density vs electric field characteristics were investigated as a function of illumination wavelength and intensity. Analysis of film electrical response suggests that the leakage current follows the Poole–Frenkel mechanism in dark. Additionally, a correlation is observed between the wavelength and power of light and the changes of photoconductivity. 2. 题目:Synthesis of graphene-based nanosheets via chemical reduction of exfoliated graphite oxide • Article 出处:Carbon, Volume 45, Issue 7, June 2007, Pages 1558-1565 作者:Stankovich, S.; Dikin, D.A.; Piner, R.D.; Kohlhaas, K.A.; Kleinhammes, A.; Jia, Y.; Wu, Y.; Nguyen, S.T.; Ruoff, R.S. 摘要:Reduction of a colloidal suspension of exfoliated graphene oxide sheets in water with hydrazine hydrate results in their aggregation and subsequent formation of a high-surface-area carbon material which consists of thin graphene-based sheets. The reduced material was characterized by elemental analysis, thermo-gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and by electrical conductivity measurements. 3. 题 目 : Synthesis and surface engineering of iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications • Review article 出处:Biomaterials, Volume 26, Issue 18, June 2005, Pages 3995-4021 作者:Gupta, A.K.; Gupta, M. 摘要:Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) with appropriate surface chemistry have been widely used experimentally for numerous in vivo applications such as magnetic resonance imaging contrast enhancement, tissue repair, immunoassay, detoxification of biological fluids, hyperthermia, drug delivery and in cell separation, etc. All these biomedical and bioengineering applications require that these nanoparticles have high magnetization values and size smaller than 100 nm with overall narrow particle size distribution, so that the particles have uniform physical and chemical properties. In addition, these applications need special surface coating of the magnetic particles, which has to be not only non-toxic and biocompatible but also allow a targetable delivery with particle localization in a specific area. To this end, most work in this field has been done in improving the biocompatibility of the materials, but only a few 1 scientific investigations and developments have been carried out in improving the quality of magnetic particles, their size distribution, their shape and surface in addition to characterizing them to get a protocol for the quality control of these particles. Nature of surface coatings and their subsequent geometric arrangement on the nanoparticles determine not only the overall size of the colloid but also play a significant role in biokinetics and biodistribution of nanoparticles in the body. The types of specific coating, or derivatization, for these nanoparticles depend on the end application and should be chosen by keeping a particular application in mind, whether it be aimed at inflammation response or anti-cancer agents. Magnetic nanoparticles can bind to drugs, proteins, enzymes, antibodies, or nucleotides and can be directed to an organ, tissue, or tumour using an external magnetic field or can be heated in alternating magnetic fields for use in hyperthermia. This review discusses the synthetic chemistry, fluid stabilization and surface modification of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, as well as their use for above biomedical applications. 4. 题目:Graphene based materials: Past, present and future • Review article 出处:Progress in Materials Science, Volume 56, Issue 8, October 2011, Pages 1178-1271 作者:Singh, V.; Joung, D.; Zhai, L.; Das, S.; Khondaker, S.I.; Seal, S. 摘要:Graphene, a two dimensional monoatomic thick building block of a carbon allotrope, has emerged as an exotic material of the 21st century, and received world-wide attention due to its exceptional charge transport, thermal, optical, and mechanical properties. Graphene and its derivatives are being studied in nearly every field of science and engineering. Recent progress has shown that the graphene-based materials can have a profound impact on electronic and optoelectronic devices, chemical sensors, nanocomposites and energy storage. The aim of this review article is to provide a comprehensive scientific progress of graphene to date and evaluate its future perspective. Various synthesis processes of single layer graphene, graphene nanoribbons, chemically derived graphene, and graphene-based polymer and nano particle composites are reviewed. Their structural, thermal, optical, and electrical properties were also discussed along with their potential applications. The article concludes with a brief discussion on the impact of graphene and related materials on the environment, its toxicological effects and its future prospects in this rapidly emerging field. 5. 题目:Recent advances in graphene based polymer composites • Review article 出处:Progress in Polymer Science, Volume 35, Issue 11, November 2010, Pages 1350-1375 作者:Kuilla, T.; Bhadra, S.; Yao, D.; Kim, N.H.; Bose, S.; Lee, J.H. 摘要:This paper reviews recent advances in the modification of graphene and the fabrication of graphene-based polymer nanocomposites. Recently, graphene has attracted both academic and industrial interest because it can produce a dramatic improvement in properties at very low filler content. The modification of graphene/graphene oxide and the utilization of these materials in the fabrication of nanocomposites with different polymer matrixes have been explored. Different organic polymers have been used to fabricate graphene filled polymer nanocomposites by a range of methods. In the case of modified graphene-based polymer nanocomposites, the percolation threshold can be achieved at a very lower filler loading. Herein, the structure, preparation and properties of polymer/graphene nanocomposites are discussed in general along with detailed examples drawn from the scientific literature. 2 6. 题目:Some organo-compounds of calcium, strontium and barium • Article 出处:Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 32, Issue 3, November 1971, Pages 279-284 作者:M.A. Coles1; F.A. Hart 摘要:Bis(2-phenylethynyl)calcium, Ca(C CPh)2, and the corresponding strontium and barium compounds have been isolated as thermally stable solids. Some of their properties and reactions are described. 7. 题目:The surface science of titanium dioxide • Review article 出处:Surface Science Reports, Volume 48, Issue 5-8, January 2003, Pages 53-229 作者:Diebold, U. 摘要:Titanium dioxide is the most investigated single-crystalline system in the surface science of metal oxides, and the literature on rutile (1 1 0), (1 0 0), (0 0 1), and anatase surfaces is reviewed. This paper starts with a summary of the wide variety of technical fields where TiO2 is of importance. The bulk structure and bulk defects (as far as relevant to the surface properties) are briefly reviewed. Rules to predict stable oxide surfaces are exemplified on rutile (1 1 0). The surface structure of rutile (1 1 0) is discussed in some detail. Theoretically predicted and experimentally determined relaxations of surface geometries are compared, and defects (step edge orientations, point and line defects, impurities, surface manifestations of crystallographic shear planes—CSPs) are discussed, as well as the image contrast in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The controversy about the correct model for the (1×2) reconstruction appears to be settled. Different surface preparation methods, such as reoxidation of reduced crystals, can cause a drastic effect on surface geometries and morphology, and recommendations for preparing different TiO2(1 1 0) surfaces are given. The structure of the TiO2(1 0 0)-(1×1) surface is discussed and the proposed models for the (1×3) reconstruction are critically reviewed. Very recent results on anatase (1 0 0) and (1 0 1) surfaces are included. The electronic structure of stoichiometric TiO2 surfaces is now well understood. Surface defects can be detected with a variety of surface spectroscopies. The vibrational structure is dominated by strong Fuchs–Kliewer phonons, and high-resolution electron energy loss spectra often need to be deconvoluted in order to render useful information about adsorbed molecules. The growth of metals (Li, Na, K, Cs, Ca, Al, Ti, V, Nb, Cr, Mo, Mn, Fe, Co, Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au) as well as some metal oxides on TiO2 is reviewed. The tendency to ‘wet’ the overlayer, the growth morphology, the epitaxial relationship, and the strength of the interfacial oxidation/reduction reaction all follow clear trends across the periodic table, with the reactivity of the overlayer metal towards oxygen being the most decisive factor. Alkali atoms form ordered superstructures at low coverages. Recent progress in understanding the surface structure of metals in the ‘strong-metal support interaction’ (SMSI) state is summarized. Literature is reviewed on the adsorption and reaction of a wide variety of inorganic molecules (H2, O2, H2O, CO, CO2, N2, NH3, NOx, sulfur- and halogen-containing molecules, rare gases) as well as organic molecules (carboxylic acids, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, alkynes, pyridine and its derivates, silanes, methyl halides). The application of TiO2-based systems in photo-active devices 3 is discussed, and the results on UHV-based photocatalytic studies are summarized. The review ends with a brief conclusion and outlook of TiO2-based surface science for the future. 8. 题目:Surface modification of inorganic nanoparticles for development of organic-inorganic nanocomposites-A review • Review article 出处:Progress in Polymer Science, Volume 38, Issue 8, August 2013, Pages 1232-1261 作者:Kango, S.; Kalia, S.; Celli, A.; Njuguna, J.; Habibi, Y.; Kumar, R. 摘要:Nanoparticles and nanocomposites are used in a wide range of applications in various fields, such as medicine, textiles, cosmetics, agriculture, optics, food packaging, optoelectronic devices, semiconductor devices, aerospace, construction and catalysis. Nanoparticles can be incorporated into polymeric nanocomposites. Polymeric nanocomposites consisting of inorganic nanoparticles and organic polymers represent a new class of materials that exhibit improved performance compared to their microparticle counterparts. It is therefore expected that they will advance the field of engineering applications. Incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles into a polymer matrix can significantly affect the properties of the matrix. The resulting composite might exhibit improved thermal, mechanical, rheological, electrical, catalytic, fire retardancy and optical properties. The properties of polymer composites depend on the type of nanoparticles that are incorporated, their size and shape, their concentration and their interactions with the polymer matrix. The main problem with polymer nanocomposites is the prevention of particle aggregation. It is difficult to produce monodispersed nanoparticles in a polymer matrix because nanoparticles agglomerate due to their specific surface area and volume effects. This problem can be overcome by modification of the surface of the inorganic particles. The modification improves the interfacial interactions between the inorganic particles and the polymer matrix. There are two ways to modify the surface of inorganic particles. The first is accomplished through surface absorption or reaction with small molecules, such as silane coupling agents, and the second method is based on grafting polymeric molecules through covalent bonding to the hydroxyl groups existing on the particles. The advantage of the second procedure over the first lies in the fact that the polymer-grafted particles can be designed with the desired properties through a proper selection of the species of the grafting monomers and the choice of grafting conditions. 9. 题目:Carbon nanotube-polymer composites: Chemistry, processing, mechanical and electrical properties • Review article 出处:Progress in Polymer Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2010, Pages 357-401 作者:Spitalsky, Z.; Tasis, D.; Papagelis, K.; Galiotis, C. 摘要:Carbon nanotubes have long been recognized as the stiffest and strongest man-made material known to date. In addition, their high electrical conductivity has roused interest in the area of electrical appliances and communication related applications. However, due to their miniscule size, the excellent properties of these nanostructures can only be exploited if they are homogeneously embedded into light-weight matrices as those offered by a whole series of engineering polymers. We review the present state of polymer nanocomposites research in which the fillers are carbon nanotubes. In order to enhance their chemical affinity to engineering polymer matrices, chemical modification of the graphitic sidewalls and tips is necessary. In this review, an extended account of the various chemical strategies for grafting polymers onto carbon nanotubes 4 and the manufacturing of carbon nanotube/polymer nanocomposites is given. The mechanical and electrical properties to date of a whole range of nanocomposites of various carbon nanotube contents are also reviewed in an attempt to facilitate progress in this emerging area. 10. 题 目 : A review on polymer nanofibers by electrospinning and their applications in nanocomposites • Article 出处:Composites Science and Technology, Volume 63, Issue 15, November 2003, Pages 2223-2253 作者:Huang, Z.-M.; Zhang, Y.-Z.; Kotaki, M.; Ramakrishna, S. 摘要:Electrospinning has been recognized as an efficient technique for the fabrication of polymer nanofibers. Various polymers have been successfully electrospun into ultrafine fibers in recent years mostly in solvent solution and some in melt form. Potential applications based on such fibers specifically their use as reinforcement in nanocomposite development have been realized. In this paper, a comprehensive review is presented on the researches and developments related to electrospun polymer nanofibers including processing, structure and property characterization, applications, and modeling and simulations. Information of those polymers together with their processing conditions for electrospinning of ultrafine fibers has been summarized in the paper. Other issues regarding the technology limitations, research challenges, and future trends are also discussed. 11. 题目:TiO"2 photocatalysis and related surface phenomena • Review article 出处:Surface Science Reports, Volume 63, Issue 12, December 2008, Pages 515-582 作者:Fujishima, A.; Zhang, X.; Tryk, D.A. 摘要:The field of photocatalysis can be traced back more than 80 years to early observations of the chalking of titania-based paints and to studies of the darkening of metal oxides in contact with organic compounds in sunlight. During the past 20 years, it has become an extremely well researched field due to practical interest in air and water remediation, self-cleaning surfaces, and self-sterilizing surfaces. During the same period, there has also been a strong effort to use photocatalysis for light-assisted production of hydrogen. The fundamental aspects of photocatalysis on the most studied photocatalyst, titania, are still being actively researched and have recently become quite well understood. The mechanisms by which certain types of organic compounds are decomposed completely to carbon dioxide and water, for example, have been delineated. However, certain aspects, such as the photo-induced wetting phenomenon, remain controversial, with some groups maintaining that the effect is a simple one in which organic contaminants are decomposed, while other groups maintain that there are additional effects in which the intrinsic surface properties are modified by light. During the past several years, powerful tools such as surface spectroscopic techniques and scanning probe techniques performed on single crystals in ultra-high vacuum, and ultrafast pulsed laser spectroscopic techniques have been brought to bear on these problems, and new insights have become possible. Quantum chemical calculations have also provided new insights. New materials have recently been developed based on titania, and the sensitivity to visible light has improved. The new information available is staggering, but we hope to offer an overview of some of the recent highlights, as well as to review some of the origins and indicate some possible new directions. 5 12. 题目:Scaffolds in tissue engineering bone and cartilage • Article 出处:Biomaterials, Volume 21, Issue 24, December 2000, Pages 2529-2543 作者:Hutmacher, D.W. 摘要:Musculoskeletal tissue, bone and cartilage are under extensive investigation in tissue engineering research. A number of biodegradable and bioresorbable materials, as well as scaffold designs, have been experimentally and/or clinically studied. Ideally, a scaffold should have the following characteristics: (i) three-dimensional and highly porous with an interconnected pore network for cell growth and flow transport of nutrients and metabolic waste; (ii) biocompatible and bioresorbable with a controllable degradation and resorption rate to match cell/tissue growth in vitro and/or in vivo; (iii) suitable surface chemistry for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentation and (iv) mechanical properties to match those of the tissues at the site of implantation. This paper reviews research on the tissue engineering of bone and cartilage from the polymeric scaffold point of view. 13. 题目:Organic-inorganic hybrid solar cells: A comparative review • Review article 出处:Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Volume 107, December 2012, Pages 87-111 作者:Wright, M.; Uddin, A. 摘要:Organic materials have recently become of great interest for photovoltaic applications, due to their potential to utilise high throughput, solution phase processing, which will lead to low cost electricity production. Hybrid solar cells combine organic and inorganic materials with the aim of utilising the low cost cell production of organic photovoltaics (OPV) as well as obtaining other advantages, such as tuneable absorption spectra, from the inorganic component. Whilst hybrid solar cells have the potential to achieve high power conversion efficiencies (PCE), currently obtained efficiencies are quite low. The design of the inorganic material used as the electron acceptor in hybrid solar cells, particularly the electronic structure, is crucial to the performance of the device. There exists an optimal electronic structure design for an inorganic acceptor. To date, four major material types have been investigated, being cadmium compounds, silicon, metal oxide nanoparticles and low band gap nanoparticles. Currently, Cadmium Sulfide (CdS) quantum dots represent the state of the art, yielding a PCE of greater than 4%. This review compares the electronic structure of these materials with the optimal design components of an inorganic material and also explores possible limitations to the PCE of these devices, such as nanomorphology control and nanoparticle surface chemistry. This report provides the reader with a concise synthesis of the current state of the art for bulk heterojunction organic—inorganic hybrid solar cells. Additionally, it highlights key research areas which require attention to allow for the commercialisation of this technology. 14. 题目:Chemical functionalization of graphene and its applications • Review article 出处:Progress in Materials Science, Volume 57, Issue 7, September 2012, Pages 1061-1105 作者:Kuila, T.; Bose, S.; Mishra, A.K.; Khanra, P.; Kim, N.H.; Lee, J.H. 摘要:Functionalization and dispersion of graphene sheets are of crucial importance for their end applications. Chemical functionalization of graphene enables this material to be processed by solvent-assisted techniques, such as layer-by-layer assembly, spin-coating, and filtration. It also prevents the agglomeration of single layer graphene during reduction and maintains the inherent properties of graphene. Therefore, a detailed review on the advances of chemical functionalization 6 of graphene is presented. Synthesis and characterization of graphene have also been reviewed in the current article. The functionalization of graphene can be performed by covalent and noncovalent modification techniques. In both cases, surface modification of graphene oxide followed by reduction has been carried out to obtain functionalized graphene. It has been found that both the covalent and noncovalent modification techniques are very effective in the preparation of processable graphene. However, the electrical conductivity of the functionalized graphene has been observed to decrease significantly compared to pure graphene. Moreover, the surface area of the functionalized graphene prepared by covalent and non-covalent techniques decreases significantly due to the destructive chemical oxidation of flake graphite followed by sonication, functionalization and chemical reduction. In order to overcome these problems, several studies have been reported on the preparation of functionalized graphene directly from graphite (one-step process). In all these cases, surface modification of graphene can prevent agglomeration and facilitates the formation of stable dispersions. Surface modified graphene can be used for the fabrication of polymer nanocomposites, super-capacitor devices, drug delivery system, solar cells, memory devices, transistor device, biosensor, etc. 15. 题目:A review of chitin and chitosan applications • Review article 出处:Reactive and Functional Polymers, Volume 46, Issue 1, November 2000, Pages 1-27 作者:Ravi Kumar, M.N. 摘要:Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide and is estimated to be produced annually almost as much as cellulose. It has become of great interest not only as an underutilized resource, but also as a new functional material of high potential in various fields, and recent progress in chitin chemistry is quite noteworthy. The purpose of this review is to take a closer look at chitin and chitosan applications. Based on current research and existing products, some new and futuristic approaches in this fascinating area are thoroughly discussed. 16. 题 目 :Resistive switching properties of TiO"2 film for flexible non-volatile memory applications • Article 出处:Ceramics International 作者:Lin, C.C.; Liao, J.W.; Li, W.Y. 摘要:Flexible electronics attracts much attention due to its advantages of flexibility and light weight. The resistive switching memory fabricated at low temperature with good performance is possibly used in the flexible electronics. In this work, an Al/TiO2/Al structural device is successfully fabricated on a flexible substrate at room temperature for the first time. The resistive switching properties of the flexible device are investigated. A possible resistive switching mechanism is proposed. The non-volatility of the flexible device is also demonstrated. Based on the experimental results, the proposed flexible device is possibly used in flexible non-volatile memory. 17. 题 目 : High reliability optical interconnections for short range applications in high performance optical communication systems • Article 出处:Optics & Laser Technology, Volume 48, June 2013, Pages 302-308 作者:Rashed, A.N.Z. 摘要:This paper has proposed a new progress of optical interconnections, taking into account the 7 following items such as its ultimate device bandwidth, its available transmission bit rates based on soliton transmission technique, its ultimate transmission link bandwidth, and the product of the link bandwidth and its transmission length. Two items of special emphasis in the basic design of optical interconnection are polymethyl metha acrylate (PMMA) and barium fluoride (BaF2) waveguides, and the optical source cast as vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode (VCSELD), made of either AlGaAs at operating wavelength of 1.3 μm or aluminum gallium indium phosphors (AlGaInP) at operating wavelength of 1.55 μm; special emphasis is focused on both the above two items under different operating conditions including both thermal and electrical effects. The optical interconnect is built up on the bases of two VCSELD and one optical link where thermal effects of both diodes and links are included. The good performance of the optical interconnect is deeply and parametrically investigated under wide ranges of the affecting parameters. The high speed performance is processed through three different effects, namely the device 3-dB bandwidth, and the link dispersion characteristics. 18. 题目:Biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles based drug delivery systems • Review article 出处:Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, Volume 75, Issue 1, January 2010, Pages 1-18 作者:Kumari, A.; Yadav, S.K.; Yadav, S.C. 摘要:Biodegradable nanoparticles have been used frequently as drug delivery vehicles due to its grand bioavailability, better encapsulation, control release and less toxic properties. Various nanoparticulate systems, general synthesis and encapsulation process, control release and improvement of therapeutic value of nanoencapsulated drugs are covered in this review. We have highlighted the impact of nanoencapsulation of various disease related drugs on biodegradable nanoparticles such as PLGA, PLA, chitosan, gelatin, polycaprolactone and poly-alkyl-cyanoacrylates. 19. 题目:Polymer nanoparticles: Preparation techniques and size-control parameters • Review article 出处:Progress in Polymer Science, Volume 36, Issue 7, July 2011, Pages 887-913 作者:Rao, J.P.; Geckeler, K.E. 摘要:Polymer nanoparticles have attracted the interest of many research groups and have been utilized in an increasing number of fields during the last decades. Generally, two main strategies are employed for their preparation: the dispersion of preformed polymers and the polymerization of monomers. Various techniques can be used to produce polymer nanoparticles, such as solvent evaporation, salting-out, dialysis, supercritical fluid technology, micro-emulsion, mini-emulsion, surfactant-free emulsion, and interfacial polymerization. The choice of method depends on a number of factors, such as, particle size, particle size distribution, area of application, etc. This review covers the general description of the preparation of polymer nanoparticles and the detailed description of the crucial parameters involved in techniques designed to obtain the desired properties. 20. 题目:Lithium batteries: Status, prospects and future • Review article 出处:Journal of Power Sources, Volume 195, Issue 9, May 2010, Pages 2419-2430 作者:Scrosati, B.; Garche, J. 摘要:Lithium batteries are characterized by high specific energy, high efficiency and long life. 8 These unique properties have made lithium batteries the power sources of choice for the consumer electronics market with a production of the order of billions of units per year. These batteries are also expected to find a prominent role as ideal electrochemical storage systems in renewable energy plants, as well as power systems for sustainable vehicles, such as hybrid and electric vehicles. However, scaling up the lithium battery technology for these applications is still problematic since issues such as safety, costs, wide operational temperature and materials availability, are still to be resolved. This review focuses first on the present status of lithium battery technology, then on its near future development and finally it examines important new directions aimed at achieving quantum jumps in energy and power content. 21. 题目:Bio-inspired superoleophobic and smart materials: Design, fabrication, and application • Review article 出处:Progress in Materials Science, Volume 58, Issue 4, May 2013, Pages 503-564 作者:Liu, K.; Tian, Y.; Jiang, L. 摘要:Through evolution, nature has arrived at what is optimal. Inspired by the biomaterials with special wettability, superhydrophobic materials have been well-investigated and -covered by several excellent reviews. The construction of superoleophobicity is more difficult than that of superhydrophobicity because the surface tension of oil or other organic liquids is lower than that of water. However, superoleophobic surfaces have drawn a great deal of attention for both fundamental research and practical applications in a variety of fields. In this contribution, we focus on recent research progress in the design, fabrication, and application of bio-inspired superoleophobic and smart surfaces, including superoleophobic–superhydrophobic surfaces, oleophobic–hydrophilic surfaces, underwater superoleophobic surfaces, and smart surfaces. Although the research of bio-inspired superoleophobicity is in its infancy, it is a rapidly growing and enormously promising field. The remaining challenges and future outlook of this field are also addressed. Multifunctional integration is a inherent characteristic for biological materials. Learning from nature has long been a source of bio-inspiration for scientists and engineers. Therefore, further cross-disciplinary cooperation is essential for the construction of multifunctional advanced superoleophobic surfaces through learning the optimized biological solutions from nature. We hope this review will provide some inspirations to the researchers in the field of material science, chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering. 22. 题目:Fabrication and processing of polymer solar cells: A review of printing and coating techniques • Review article 出处:Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, Volume 93, Issue 4, April 2009, Pages 394-412 作者:Krebs, F.C. 摘要:Polymer solar cells are reviewed in the context of the processing techniques leading to complete devices. A distinction is made between the film-forming techniques that are used currently such as spincoating, doctor blading and casting and the, from a processing point of view, more desirable film-forming techniques such as slot-die coating, gravure coating, knife-over-edge coating, off-set coating, spray coating and printing techniques such as ink jet printing, pad printing and screen printing. The former are used almost exclusively and are not suited for high-volume production whereas the latter are highly suited, but little explored in the context of polymer solar cells. A further distinction is made between printing and coating when a film is formed. The entire 9 process leading to polymer solar cells is broken down into the individual steps and the available techniques and materials for each step are described with focus on the particular advantages and disadvantages associated with each case. 23. 题目:Graphene/metal oxide composite electrode materials for energy storage • Review article 出处:Nano Energy, Volume 1, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 107-131 作者:Wu, Z.S.; Zhou, G.; Yin, L.C.; Ren, W.; Li, F.; Cheng, H.M. 摘要:Recent progress on graphene/metal oxide composites as advanced electrode materials in lithium ion batteries (LIBs) and electrochemical capacitors (ECs) is described, highlighting the importance of synergistic effects between graphene and metal oxides and the beneficial role of graphene in composites for LIBs and ECs. It is demonstrated that, when the composites are used as electrode materials for LIBs and ECs, compared to their individual constituents, graphene/metal oxide composites with unique structural variables such as anchored, wrapped, encapsulated, sandwich, layered and mixed models have a significant improvement in their electrochemical properties such as high capacity, high rate capability and excellent cycling stability. First, an introduction on the properties, synthesis strategies and use of graphene is briefly given, followed by a state-of-the-art review on the preparation of graphene/metal oxide composites and their electrochemical properties in LIBs and ECs. Finally, the prospects and future challenges of graphene/metal oxide composites for energy storage are discussed. 24. 题目:Recent developments in cathode materials for lithium ion batteries • Review article 出处:Journal of Power Sources, Volume 195, Issue 4, February 2010, Pages 939-954 作者:Fergus, J.W. 摘要:One of the challenges for improving the performance of lithium ion batteries to meet increasingly demanding requirements for energy storage is the development of suitable cathode materials. Cathode materials must be able to accept and release lithium ions repeatedly (for recharging) and quickly (for high current). Transition metal oxides based on the α-NaFeO2, spinel and olivine structures have shown promise, but improvements are needed to reduce cost and extend effective lifetime. In this paper, recent developments in cathode materials for lithium ion batteries are reviewed. This includes comparison of the performance characteristics of the promising cathode materials and approaches for improving their performances. 25. 题目:Hydrogels for tissue engineering: scaffold design variables and applications • Review article 出处:Biomaterials, Volume 24, Issue 24, November 2003, Pages 4337-4351 作者:Drury, J.L.; Mooney, D.J. 摘要:Polymer scaffolds have many different functions in the field of tissue engineering. They are applied as space filling agents, as delivery vehicles for bioactive molecules, and as three-dimensional structures that organize cells and present stimuli to direct the formation of a desired tissue. Much of the success of scaffolds in these roles hinges on finding an appropriate material to address the critical physical, mass transport, and biological design variables inherent to each application. Hydrogels are an appealing scaffold material because they are structurally similar to the extracellular matrix of many tissues, can often be processed under relatively mild conditions, and may be delivered in a minimally invasive manner. Consequently, hydrogels have 10 been utilized as scaffold materials for drug and growth factor delivery, engineering tissue replacements, and a variety of other applications. 二、Elsevier Science Direct Top 25 (工程类) (来源:http://www.sciencedirect.com/) 1.题目:Thermomechanical analysis of residual stresses in brazed diamond metal joints using Raman spectroscopy and finite element simulation • Article 出处:Mechanics of Materials, Volume 52, September 2012, Pages 69-77 作者:Akbari, M.; Buhl, S.; Leinenbach, C.; Spolenak, R.; Wegener, K. 摘要:Thermal residual stresses are one of the crucial parameters in engineered grinding tool (EGT) life and its consistency. Predicting failure of brazed diamond metal joints in EGTs is related to analyzing the thermal residual stresses during the cooling process. Thus thermal residual stresses have been simulated in a model with realistic materials properties, for instance isotropic hardening and a hyperbolic-sine creep law for SS316L and the silver–copper–titanium active filler alloy, named Cusil ABA™. Also, special modeling techniques such as tie constraint and sub-modeling have been used to model an intermetallic layer titanium-carbide (TiC) with dimensions in nanometers, where the rest of the model’s dimensions are in millimeters. To verify the simulated stress state of the diamond, Raman-active optical phonon modes at three different paths in the diamond were measured. As the experiments with Raman spectroscopy (RS) do not deliver stress components, the solution is to directly compute the peak shift of Raman spectrum. The splitting in phonon frequencies and the mixing of phonon modes contain information about the thermal residual stresses in the diamond. Finally the shift in the phonon frequencies was calculated from the different numerical residual elastic strain components and compared to the experimental results. 2. 题目:A case study on a hybrid wind speed forecasting method using BP neural network • Article 出处:Knowledge-Based Systems, Volume 24, Issue 7, October 2011, Pages 1048-1056 作者:Guo, Z.h.; Wu, J.; Lu, H.y.; Wang, J.z. 摘要:Wind energy, which is intermittent by nature, can have a significant impact on power grid security, power system operation, and market economics, especially in areas with a high level of wind power penetration. Wind speed forecasting has been a vital part of wind farm planning and the operational planning of power grids with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Improving the accuracy of wind speed forecasting algorithms has significant technological and economic impacts on these activities, and significant research efforts have addressed this aim 11 recently. However, there is no single best forecasting algorithm that can be applied to any wind farm due to the fact that wind speed patterns can be very different between wind farms and are usually influenced by many factors that are location-specific and difficult to control. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid wind speed forecasting method based on a back-propagation (BP) neural network and the idea of eliminating seasonal effects from actual wind speed datasets using seasonal exponential adjustment. This method can forecast the daily average wind speed one year ahead with lower mean absolute errors compared to figures obtained without adjustment, as demonstrated by a case study conducted using a wind speed dataset collected from the Minqin area in China from 2001 to 2006. 3. 题 目 : Synthesis and surface engineering of iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications • Review article 出处:Biomaterials, Volume 26, Issue 18, June 2005, Pages 3995-4021 作者:Gupta, A.K.; Gupta, M. 摘要:Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) with appropriate surface chemistry have been widely used experimentally for numerous in vivo applications such as magnetic resonance imaging contrast enhancement, tissue repair, immunoassay, detoxification of biological fluids, hyperthermia, drug delivery and in cell separation, etc. All these biomedical and bioengineering applications require that these nanoparticles have high magnetization values and size smaller than 100 nm with overall narrow particle size distribution, so that the particles have uniform physical and chemical properties. In addition, these applications need special surface coating of the magnetic particles, which has to be not only non-toxic and biocompatible but also allow a targetable delivery with particle localization in a specific area. To this end, most work in this field has been done in improving the biocompatibility of the materials, but only a few scientific investigations and developments have been carried out in improving the quality of magnetic particles, their size distribution, their shape and surface in addition to characterizing them to get a protocol for the quality control of these particles. Nature of surface coatings and their subsequent geometric arrangement on the nanoparticles determine not only the overall size of the colloid but also play a significant role in biokinetics and biodistribution of nanoparticles in the body. The types of specific coating, or derivatization, for these nanoparticles depend on the end application and should be chosen by keeping a particular application in mind, whether it be aimed at inflammation response or anti-cancer agents. Magnetic nanoparticles can bind to drugs, proteins, enzymes, antibodies, or nucleotides and can be directed to an organ, tissue, or tumour using an external magnetic field or can be heated in alternating magnetic fields for use in hyperthermia. This review discusses the synthetic chemistry, fluid stabilization and surface modification of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, as well as their use for above biomedical applications. 4. 题目:The Internet of Things: A survey • Article 出处:Computer Networks, Volume 54, Issue 15, October 2010, Pages 2787-2805 作者:Atzori, L.; Iera, A.; Morabito, G. 摘要:This paper addresses the Internet of Things.

It extends 13 Information Technology’s (IT) existing capabilities. In the last few years, cloud computing has grown from being a promising business concept to one of the fast growing segments of the IT industry. But as more and more information on individuals and companies are placed in the cloud, concerns are beginning to grow about just how safe an environment it is. Despite of all the hype surrounding the cloud, enterprise customers are still reluctant to deploy their business in the cloud. Security is one of the major issues which reduces the growth of cloud computing and complications with data privacy and data protection continue to plague the market. The advent of an advanced model should not negotiate with the required functionalities and capabilities present in the current model. A new model targeting at improving features of an existing model must not risk or threaten other important features of the current model. The architecture of cloud poses such a threat to the security of the existing technologies when deployed in a cloud environment. Cloud service users need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data breaches in this new environment. In this paper, a survey of the different security risks that pose a threat to the cloud is presented. This paper is a survey more specific to the different security issues that has emanated due to the nature of the service delivery models of a cloud computing system. 8. 题目:Wireless sensor networks: a survey • Article 出处:Computer Networks, Volume 38, Issue 4, March 2002, Pages 393-422 作者:Akyildiz, I.F.; Su, W.; Sankarasubramaniam, Y.; Cayirci, E. 摘要:This paper describes the concept of sensor networks which has been made viable by the convergence of micro-electro-mechanical systems technology, wireless communications and digital electronics.

Then, the communication architecture for sensor networks is outlined, and the algorithms and protocols developed for each layer in the literature are explored. Open research issues for the realization of sensor networks are also discussed. 9. 题目:Heat transfer-A review of 2005 literature • Review article 出处:International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Volume 53, Issue 21-22, October 2010, Pages 4397-4447 作者:Goldstein, R.J.; Ibele, W.E.; Patankar, S.V.; Simon, T.W.; Kuehn, T.H.; Strykowski, P.J.; Tamma, K.K.; Heberlein, J.V.R.; Davidson, J.H.; Bischof, J.; Kulacki, F.A.; Kortshagen, U.; Garrick, S.; Srinivasan, V.; Ghosh, K.; Mittal, R. 摘要:The present review is intended to encompass the heat transfer literature published in 2005.

The papers are grouped into major subject areas and then into subfields within these areas. In addition to reviewing the literature, we mention major conferences held in 2005, major awards related to heat transfer presented in 2005, and books on heat transfer published during the year. 14 10. 题目:Review on thermal energy storage with phase change: materials, heat transfer analysis and applications • Review article 出处:Applied Thermal Engineering, Volume 23, Issue 3, February 2003, Pages 251-283 作者:Zalba, B.; Marn, J.M.S.T.; Cabeza, L.F.; Mehling, H. 摘要:Thermal energy storage in general, and phase change materials (PCMs) in particular, have been a main topic in research for the last 20 years, but although the information is quantitatively enormous, it is also spread widely in the literature, and difficult to find. In this work, a review has been carried out of the history of thermal energy storage with solid–liquid phase change. Three aspects have been the focus of this review: materials, heat transfer and applications. The paper contains listed over 150 materials used in research as PCMs, and about 45 commercially available PCMs. The paper lists over 230 references. 11. 题目:Scaffolds in tissue engineering bone and cartilage • Article 出处:Biomaterials, Volume 21, Issue 24, December 2000, Pages 2529-2543 作者:Hutmacher, D.W. 摘要:Musculoskeletal tissue, bone and cartilage are under extensive investigation in tissue engineering research. A number of biodegradable and bioresorbable materials, as well as scaffold designs, have been experimentally and/or clinically studied. Ideally, a scaffold should have the following characteristics: (i) three-dimensional and highly porous with an interconnected pore network for cell growth and flow transport of nutrients and metabolic waste; (ii) biocompatible and bioresorbable with a controllable degradation and resorption rate to match cell/tissue growth in vitro and/or in vivo; (iii) suitable surface chemistry for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentation and (iv) mechanical properties to match those of the tissues at the site of implantation. This paper reviews research on the tissue engineering of bone and cartilage from the polymeric scaffold point of view. 12. 题目:Wireless sensor network survey • Article 出处:Computer Networks, Volume 52, Issue 12, August 2008, Pages 2292-2330 作者:Yick, J.; Mukherjee, B.; Ghosal, D. 摘要:A wireless sensor network (WSN) has important applications such as remote environmental monitoring and target tracking. This has been enabled by the availability, particularly in recent years, of sensors that are smaller, cheaper, and intelligent. These sensors are equipped with wireless interfaces with which they can communicate with one another to form a network. The design of a WSN depends significantly on the application, and it must consider factors such as the environment, the application’s design objectives, cost, hardware, and system constraints. The goal of our survey is to present a comprehensive review of the recent literature since the publication of [I.F. Akyildiz, W. Su, Y. Sankarasubramaniam, E. Cayirci, A survey on sensor networks, IEEE Communications Magazine, 2002]. Following a top-down approach, we give an overview of several new applications and then review the literature on various aspects of WSNs. We classify the problems into three different categories: (1) internal platform and underlying operating system, (2) communication protocol stack, and (3) network services, provisioning, and deployment. We review the major development in these three categories and outline new challenges. 15 13. 题 目 : High reliability optical interconnections for short range applications in high performance optical communication systems • Article 出处:Optics & Laser Technology, Volume 48, June 2013, Pages 302-308 作者:Rashed, A.N.Z. 摘要:This paper has proposed a new progress of optical interconnections, taking into account the following items such as its ultimate device bandwidth, its available transmission bit rates based on soliton transmission technique, its ultimate transmission link bandwidth, and the product of the link bandwidth and its transmission length. Two items of special emphasis in the basic design of optical interconnection are polymethyl metha acrylate (PMMA) and barium fluoride (BaF2) waveguides, and the optical source cast as vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode (VCSELD), made of either AlGaAs at operating wavelength of 1.3 μm or aluminum gallium indium phosphors (AlGaInP) at operating wavelength of 1.55 μm; special emphasis is focused on both the above two items under different operating conditions including both thermal and electrical effects. The optical interconnect is built up on the bases of two VCSELD and one optical link where thermal effects of both diodes and links are included. The good performance of the optical interconnect is deeply and parametrically investigated under wide ranges of the affecting parameters. The high speed performance is processed through three different effects, namely the device 3-dB bandwidth, and the link dispersion characteristics. 14. 题目:A review on novel processes of biodiesel production from waste cooking oil • Review article 出处:Applied Energy, Volume 104, April 2013, Pages 683-710 作者:Talebian-Kiakalaieh, A.; Amin, N.A.S.; Mazaheri, H. 摘要:Fossil fuel depletion, environmental concerns, and steep hikes in the price of fossil fuels are driving scientists to search for alternative fuels. The characteristics of biodiesel have made the pursuit of high quality biodiesel production attractive. Utilization of waste cooking oil is a key component in reducing biodiesel production costs up to 60–90%. Researchers have used various types of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyzed transesterification reaction for biodiesel production. Meanwhile, the effect of novel processes such as membrane reactor, reactive distillation column, reactive absorption, ultrasonic and microwave irradiation significantly influenced the final conversion, yield and in particular, the quality of product. This article attempts to cover all possible techniques in production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil. 15. 题目:Hydrogels for tissue engineering: scaffold design variables and applications • Review article 出处:Biomaterials, Volume 24, Issue 24, November 2003, Pages 4337-4351 作者:Drury, J.L.; Mooney, D.J. 摘要:Polymer scaffolds have many different functions in the field of tissue engineering. They are applied as space filling agents, as delivery vehicles for bioactive molecules, and as three-dimensional structures that organize cells and present stimuli to direct the formation of a desired tissue. Much of the success of scaffolds in these roles hinges on finding an appropriate material to address the critical physical, mass transport, and biological design variables inherent to each application. Hydrogels are an appealing scaffold material because they are structurally similar to the extracellular matrix of many tissues, can often be processed under relatively mild 16 conditions, and may be delivered in a minimally invasive manner. Consequently, hydrogels have been utilized as scaffold materials for drug and growth factor delivery, engineering tissue replacements, and a variety of other applications. 16. 题目:Nanoparticles: a boon to drug delivery, therapeutics, diagnostics and imaging • Review article 出处:Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2012, Pages 147-166 作者:Parveen, S.; Misra, R.; Sahoo, S.K. 摘要:Drug delivery is an interdisciplinary and independent field of research and is gaining the attention of pharmaceutical researchers, medical doctors and industry. A safe and targeted drug delivery could improve the performance of some classic medicines already on the market, and moreover, will have implications for the development and success of new therapeutic strategies such as anticancer drug delivery, peptide and protein delivery and gene therapy. In the last decade, several drug-delivery technologies have emerged and a fascinating part of this field is the development of nanoscale drug delivery devices. Nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed as an important strategy to deliver conventional drugs, recombinant proteins, vaccines and more recently, nucleotides. NPs and other colloidal drug-delivery systems modify the kinetics, body distribution and drug release of an associated drug. This review article focuses on the potential of nanotechnology in medicine and discusses different nanoparticulate drug-delivery systems including polymeric NPs, ceramic NPs, magnetic NPs, polymeric micelles and dendrimers as well as their applications in therapeutics, diagnostics and imaging. 17. 题目:Production of liquid biofuels from renewable resources • Review article 出处:Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2011, Pages 52-68 作者:Nigam, P.S.; Singh, A. 摘要:This article is an up-to-date review of the literature available on the subject of liquid biofuels. In search of a suitable fuel alternative to fast depleting fossil fuel and oil reserves and in serious consideration of the environmental issues associated with the extensive use of fuels based on petrochemicals, research work is in progress worldwide. Researchers have been re-directing their interests in biomass based fuels, which currently seem to be the only logical alternative for sustainable development in the context of economical and environmental considerations. Renewable bioresources are available globally in the form of residual agricultural biomass and wastes, which can be transformed into liquid biofuels. However, the process of conversion, or chemical transformation, could be very expensive and not worth-while to use for an economical large-scale commercial supply of biofuels. Hence, there is still need for much research to be done for an effective, economical and efficient conversion process. Therefore, this article is written as a broad overview of the subject, and includes information based on the research conducted globally by scientists according to their local socio-cultural and economic situations. 18. 题目:A review on buildings energy consumption information • Article 出处:Energy and Buildings, Volume 40, Issue 3, January 2008, Pages 394-398 作者:Perez-Lombard, L.; Ortiz, J.; Pout, C. 17 摘要:The rapidly growing world energy use has already raised concerns over supply difficulties, exhaustion of energy resources and heavy environmental impacts (ozone layer depletion, global warming, climate change, etc.). The global contribution from buildings towards energy consumption, both residential and commercial, has steadily increased reaching figures between 20% and 40% in developed countries, and has exceeded the other major sectors: industrial and transportation. Growth in population, increasing demand for building services and comfort levels, together with the rise in time spent inside buildings, assure the upward trend in energy demand will continue in the future. For this reason, energy efficiency in buildings is today a prime objective for energy policy at regional, national and international levels. Among building services, the growth in HVAC systems energy use is particularly significant (50% of building consumption and 20% of total consumption in the USA). This paper analyses available information concerning energy consumption in buildings, and particularly related to HVAC systems. Many questions arise: Is the necessary information available? Which are the main building types? What end uses should be considered in the breakdown? Comparisons between different countries are presented specially for commercial buildings. The case of offices is analysed in deeper detail. 19. 题目:Enterprise information systems project implementation: • Article 出处:International Journal of Production Economics, Volume 87, Issue 3, February 2004, Pages 251-266 作者:Yusuf, Yahaya; Gunasekaran, A; Abthorpe, Mark S 摘要:Economic globalisation and internationalisation of operations are essential factors in integration of suppliers, partners and customers within and across national borders, the objective being to achieve integrated supply chains. In this effort, implementation of information technologies and systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) facilitate the desired level of integration. There are cases of successful and unsuccessful implementations. The principal reason for failure is often associated with poor management of the implementation process. This paper examines key dimensions of implementation of ERP system within a large manufacturing organisation and identifies core issues to confront in successful implementation of enterprise information system. A brief overview of the application of ERP system is also presented and in particular, ERP software package known as SAP R/3, which was the ERP software package selected by Rolls-Royce plc. The paper takes an in-depth look at the issues behind the process of ERP implementation via a case study methodology. It focuses on business and technical as well as cultural issues at the heart of the Rolls-Royce implementation. The case study also looks at the implementation time scales and assesses the benefits from the project both tangible and intangible. 20. 题目:Biodiesel from microalgae: A critical evaluation from laboratory to large scale production • Review article 出处:Applied Energy, Volume 103, March 2013, Pages 444-467 作者:Rawat, I.; Ranjith Kumar, R.; Mutanda, T.; Bux, F. 摘要:The economically significant production of carbon-neutral biodiesel from microalgae has been hailed as the ultimate alternative to depleting resources of petro-diesel due to its high cellular concentration of lipids, resources and economic sustainability and overall potential advantages over other sources of biofuels. Pertinent questions however need to be answered on the commercial viability of large scale production of biodiesel from microalgae. Vital steps need to be 18 critically analysed at each stage. Isolation of microalgae should be based on the question of whether marine or freshwater microalgae, cultures from collections or indigenous wild types are best suited for large scale production. Furthermore, the determination of initial sampling points play a pivotal role in the determination of strain selection as well as strain viability. The screening process should identify, purify and select lipid producing strains. Are natural strains or stressed strains higher in lipid productivity? The synergistic interactions that occur naturally between algae and other microorganisms cannot be ignored. A lot of literature is available on the downstream processing of microalgae but a few reports are available on the upstream processing of microalgae for biomass and lipid production for biodiesel production. We present in this review an empirical and critical analysis on the potential of translating research findings from laboratory scale trials to full scale application. The move from laboratory to large scale microalgal cultivation requires careful planning. It is imperative to do extensive pre-pilot demonstration trials and formulate a suitable trajectory for possible data extrapolation for large scale experimental designs. The pros and cons of the two widely used methods for growing microalgae by photobioreactors or open raceway ponds are discussed in detail. In addition, current methods for biomass harvesting and lipid extraction are critically evaluated. This would be novel approach to economical biodiesel production from microalgae in the near future. Globally, microalgae are largest biomass producers having higher neutral lipid content outcompeting terrestrial plants for biofuel production. However, the viscosities of microalgal oils are usually higher than that of petroleum diesel. 21. 题目:A new efficient 3D non-hydrostatic free-surface flow model for simulating water wave motions • Article 出处:Ocean Engineering, Volume 33, Issue 5-6, April 2006, Pages 587-609 作者:Choi, D.Y.; Wu, C.H. 摘要:A new three-dimensional, non-hydrostatic free surface flow model is presented. For simulating water wave motions over uneven bottoms, the model employs an explicit project method on a Cartesian the staggered gird system to solve the complete three-dimensional Navier –Stokes equations. A bi-conjugated gradient method with a pre-conditioning procedure is used to solve the resulting matrix system. The model is capable of resolving non-hydrostatic pressure by incorporating the integral method of the top-layer pressure treatment, and predicting wave propagation and interaction over irregular bottom by including a partial bottom-cell treatment. Four examples of surface wave propagation are used to demonstrate the capability of the model. Using a small of vertical layers (e.g. 2–3 layers), it is shown that the model could effectively and accurately resolve wave shoaling, non-linearity, dispersion, fission, refraction, and diffraction phenomena. 22. 题目:Data mining techniques and applications - A decade review from 2000 to 2011 • Review article 出 处 : Expert Systems with Applications, Volume 39, Issue 12, September 2012, Pages 11303-11311 作者:Liao, Shu-Hsien; Chu, Pei-Hui; Hsiao, Pei-Yuan 摘要:In order to determine how data mining techniques (DMT) and their applications have developed, during the past decade, this paper reviews data mining techniques and their applications and development, through a survey of literature and the classification of articles, from 19 2000 to 2011. Keyword indices and article abstracts were used to identify 216 articles concerning DMT applications, from 159 academic journals (retrieved from five online databases), this paper surveys and classifies DMT, with respect to the following three areas: knowledge types, analysis types, and architecture types, together with their applications in different research and practical domains. A discussion deals with the direction of any future developments in DMT methodologies and applications: (1) DMT is finding increasing applications in expertise orientation and the development of applications for DMT is a problem-oriented domain. (2) It is suggested that different social science methodologies, such as psychology, cognitive science and human behavior might implement DMT, as an alternative to the methodologies already on offer. (3) The ability to continually change and acquire new understanding is a driving force for the application of DMT and this will allow many new future applications. 23. 题目:Lean manufacturing: context, practice bundles, and performance • Article 出处:Journal of Operations Management, Volume 21, Issue 2, March 2003, Pages 129-149 作者:Shah, Rachna; Ward, Peter T 摘要:Management literature has suggested that contextual factors may present strong inertial forces within organizations that inhibit implementations that appear technically rational [R.R. Nelson, S.G. Winter, An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 1982]. This paper examines the effects of three contextual factors, plant size, plant age and unionization status, on the likelihood of implementing 22 manufacturing practices that are key facets of lean production systems. Further, we postulate four “bundles” of inter-related and internally consistent practices; these are just-in-time (JIT), total quality management (TQM), total preventive maintenance (TPM), and human resource management (HRM). We empirically validate our bundles and investigate their effects on operational performance. The study sample uses data from IndustryWeek’s Census of Manufacturers. The evidence provides strong support for the influence of plant size on lean implementation, whereas the influence of unionization and plant age is less pervasive than conventional wisdom suggests. The results also indicate that lean bundles contribute substantially to the operating performance of plants, and explain about 23% of the variation in operational performance after accounting for the effects of industry and contextual factors. 24. 题目:A review of solar collectors and thermal energy storage in solar thermal applications • Article 出处:Applied Energy, Volume 104, April 2013, Pages 538-553 作者:Tian, Y.; Zhao, C.Y. 摘要:Thermal applications are drawing increasing attention in the solar energy research field, due to their high performance in energy storage density and energy conversion efficiency. In these applications, solar collectors and thermal energy storage systems are the two core components. This paper focuses on the latest developments and advances in solar thermal applications, providing a review of solar collectors and thermal energy storage systems. Various types of solar collectors are reviewed and discussed, including both non-concentrating collectors (low temperature applications) and concentrating collectors (high temperature applications). These are studied in terms of optical optimisation, heat loss reduction, heat recuperation enhancement and different sun-tracking mechanisms. Various types of thermal energy storage systems are also 20 reviewed and discussed, including sensible heat storage, latent heat storage, chemical storage and cascaded storage. They are studied in terms of design criteria, material selection and different heat transfer enhancement technologies. Last but not least, existing and future solar power stations are overviewed. 25. 题目:A framework for supply chain performance measurement • Article 出处:International Journal of Production Economics, Volume 87, Issue 3, February 2004, Pages 333-347 作者:Gunasekaran, A; Patel, C; McGaughey, Ronald E 摘要:Supply chain management (SCM) has been a major component of competitive strategy to enhance organizational productivity and profitability. The literature on SCM that deals with strategies and technologies for effectively managing a supply chain is quite vast. In recent years, organizational performance measurement and metrics have received much attention from researchers and practitioners. The role of these measures and metrics in the success of an organization cannot be overstated because they affect strategic, tactical and operational planning and control. Performance measurement and metrics have an important role to play in setting objectives, evaluating performance, and determining future courses of actions. Performance measurement and metrics pertaining to SCM have not received adequate attention from researchers or practitioners. We developed a framework to promote a better understanding of the importance of SCM performance measurement and metrics. Using the current literature and the results of an empirical study of selected British companies, we developed the framework presented herein, in hopes that it would stimulate more interest in this important area. 三、IEL Top20 (来源:http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/) 1.题目:Cloud computing-based forensic analysis for collaborative network security management system 作者:Chen, Zhen ; Han, Fuye ; Cao, Junwei ; Jiang, Xin ; Chen, Shuo 出处:Tsinghua Science and Technology Volume: 18 Issue: 1 Date : Feb. 2013 Page(s): 40 - 50 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TST.2013.6449406 摘要:Internet security problems remain a major challenge with many security concerns such as Internet worms, spam, and phishing attacks. Botnets, well-organized distributed network attacks, consist of a large number of bots that generate huge volumes of spam or launch Distributed Denial 21 of Service (DDoS) attacks on victim hosts. New emerging botnet attacks degrade the status of Internet security further. To address these problems, a practical collaborative network security management system is proposed with an effective collaborative Unified Threat Management (UTM) and traffic probers. A distributed security overlay network with a centralized security center leverages a peer-to-peer communication protocol used in the UTMs collaborative module and connects them virtually to exchange network events and security rules. Security functions for the UTM are retrofitted to share security rules. In this paper, we propose a design and implementation of a cloud-based security center for network security forensic analysis. We propose using cloud storage to keep collected traffic data and then processing it with cloud computing platforms to find the malicious attacks. As a practical example, phishing attack forensic analysis is presented and the required computing and storage resources are evaluated based on real trace data. The cloud-based security center can instruct each collaborative UTM and prober to collect events and raw traffic, send them back for deep analysis, and generate new security rules. These new security rules are enforced by collaborative UTM and the feedback events of such rules are returned to the security center. By this type of close-loop control, the collaborative network security management system can identify and address new distributed attacks more quickly and effectively. 2.题目:Security threats in cloud computing 作者:Shaikh, F.B. ; Haider, S. 出处:Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST), 2011 International Conference for Date : 11-14 Dec. 2011 Page(s): 214 - 219 摘要:Cloud computing is set of resources and services offered through the Internet. Cloud services are delivered from data centers located throughout the world. Cloud computing facilitates its consumers by providing virtual resources via internet. General example of cloud services is Google apps, provided by Google and Microsoft SharePoint. The rapid growth in field of “cloud computing” also increases severe security concerns. Security has remained a constant issue for Open Systems and internet, when we are talking about security cloud really suffers. Lack of security is the only hurdle in wide adoption of cloud computing. Cloud computing is surrounded by many security issues like securing data, and examining the utilization of cloud by the cloud computing vendors. The wide acceptance www has raised security risks along with the uncountable benefits, so is the case with cloud computing. The boom in cloud computing has brought lots of security challenges for the consumers and service providers.

This study aims to identify the most vulnerable security threats in cloud computing, which will enable both end users and vendors to know about the key security threats associated with cloud computing. Our work will enable researchers and security professionals to know about users and vendors concerns and critical analysis about the different security models and tools proposed. 3.题目:Millimeter Wave Mobile Communications for 5G Cellular: It Will Work! 作者:Rappaport, T.S. ; Shu Sun ; Mayzus, R. ; Hang Zhao ; Azar, Y. ; Wang, K. ; Wong, G.N. ; Schulz, J.K. ; Samimi, M. ; Gutierrez, F. 出处:Access, IEEE Volume: 1 Date : 2013 Page(s): 335 - 349 22 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/ACCESS.2013.2260813 摘要:The global bandwidth shortage facing wireless carriers has motivated the exploration of the underutilized millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequency spectrum for future broadband cellular communication networks. There is, however, little knowledge about cellular mm-wave propagation in densely populated indoor and outdoor environments. Obtaining this information is vital for the design and operation of future fifth generation cellular networks that use the mm-wave spectrum. In this paper, we present the motivation for new mm-wave cellular systems, methodology, and hardware for measurements and offer a variety of measurement results that show 28 and 38 GHz frequencies can be used when employing steerable directional antennas at base stations and mobile devices. 4.题目:A tutorial on particle filters for online nonlinear/non-Gaussian Bayesian tracking 作者:Arulampalam, M.S. ; Maskell, S. ; Gordon, N. ; Clapp, T. 出处:Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on Volume: 50 Issue: 2 Date : Feb 2002 Page(s): 174 - 188 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/78.978374 摘要:Increasingly, for many application areas, it is becoming important to include elements of nonlinearity and non-Gaussianity in order to model accurately the underlying dynamics of a physical system. Moreover, it is typically crucial to process data on-line as it arrives, both from the point of view of storage costs as well as for rapid adaptation to changing signal characteristics. In this paper, we review both optimal and suboptimal Bayesian algorithms for nonlinear/non-Gaussian tracking problems, with a focus on particle filters. Particle filters are sequential Monte Carlo methods based on point mass (or "particle") representations of probability densities, which can be applied to any state-space model and which generalize the traditional Kalman filtering methods. Several variants of the particle filter such as SIR, ASIR, and RPF are introduced within a generic framework of the sequential importance sampling (SIS) algorithm. These are discussed and compared with the standard EKF through an illustrative example 5.题目:Compressed sensing 作者:Donoho, D.L. 出处:Information Theory, IEEE Transactions on Volume: 52 Issue: 4 Date : April 2006 Page(s): 1289 - 1306 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TIT.2006.871582 摘要:Suppose x is an unknown vector in Ropfm (a digital image or signal); we plan to measure n general linear functionals of x and then reconstruct. If x is known to be compressible by transform coding with a known transform, and we reconstruct via the nonlinear procedure defined here, the number of measurements n can be dramatically smaller than the size m. Thus, certain natural classes of images with m pixels need only n=O(m1/4log5/2(m)) nonadaptive nonpixel samples for faithful recovery, as opposed to the usual m pixel samples. More specifically, suppose x has a sparse representation in some orthonormal basis (e.g., wavelet, Fourier) or tight frame (e.g., curvelet, Gabor)-so the coefficients belong to an lscrp ball for 0<ples1. The N most important coefficients in that expansion allow reconstruction with lscr2 error O(N1/2-1p/). It is possible to design n=O(Nlog(m)) nonadaptive measurements allowing reconstruction with accuracy comparable to that attainable with direct knowledge of the N most important coefficients. 23 Moreover, a good approximation to those N important coefficients is extracted from the n measurements by solving a linear program-Basis Pursuit in signal processing. The nonadaptive measurements have the character of "random" linear combinations of basis/frame elements. Our results use the notions of optimal recovery, of n-widths, and information-based complexity. We estimate the Gel'fand n-widths of lscrp balls in high-dimensional Euclidean space in the case 0<ples1, and give a criterion identifying near- optimal subspaces for Gel'fand n-widths. We show that "most" subspaces are near-optimal, and show that convex optimization (Basis Pursuit) is a near-optimal way to extract information derived from these near-optimal subspaces 6.题目:Design Considerations for Interleaved ADCs 作者:Razavi, B. 出处:Solid-State Circuits, IEEE Journal of Volume: 48 Issue: 8 Date : Aug. 2013 Page(s): 1806 - 1817 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/JSSC.2013.2258814 摘要:Interleaving can relax the power-speed tradeoffs of analog-to-digital converters and reduce their metastability error rate while increasing the input capacitance. This paper quantifies the benefits and derives an upper bound on the performance by considering kT/C noise and slewing requirements of the circuit driving the system. A frequency-domain analysis of interleaved converters is also presented that sheds light on the corruption mechanisms due to interchannel mismatches. A background timing mismatch calibration technique is proposed and experimentally shown to reduce the image to -75 dB for input frequencies exceeding 500 MHz. 7.题目:On a Future for Power Electronics 作者:van Wyk, J.D. ; Lee, F.C. 出处:Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics, IEEE Journal of Volume: 1 Issue: 2 Date : June 2013 Page(s): 59 - 72 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/JESTPE.2013.2271499 摘要:This paper presents a historical and philosophical perspective on a possible future for power electronics. Technologies have specific life cycles that are driven by internal innovation, subsequently reaching maturity. Power electronics appears to be a much more complex case, functioning as an enabling technology spanning an enormous range of power levels, functions and applications. Power electronics is also divided into many constituent technologies. Till now, the development of power electronics has been driven chiefly by internal semiconductor technology and converter circuit technology, approaching maturity in its internally set metrics, such as efficiency. This paper examines critically the fundamental functions found in electronic energy processing, the constituent technologies comprising power electronics, and the power electronics technology space in light of the internal driving philosophy of power electronics and its historical development. It is finally concluded that, although approaching the limits of its internal metrics indicates internal maturity, the external constituent technologies of packaging, manufacturing, electromagnetic and physical impact, and converter control technology still present remarkable opportunities for development. As power electronics is an enabling technology, its development, together with internal developments, such as wide bandgap semiconductors, will be driven externally by applications in the future. 24 8.题目:Data Mining with Big Data 作者:Wu, X. ; Zhu, X. ; Wu, G. ; Ding, W. 出处: Knowledge and Data Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Volume: PP Issue: 99 Page(s): 1 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TKDE.2013.109 摘要:Big Data concerns large-volume, complex, growing data sets with multiple, autonomous sources. With the fast development of networking, data storage, and the data collection capacity, Big Data is now rapidly expanding in all science and engineering domains, including physical, biological and bio-medical sciences. This article presents a HACE theorem that characterizes the features of the Big Data revolution, and proposes a Big Data processing model, from the data mining perspective. This data-driven model involves demand-driven aggregation of information sources, mining and analysis, user interest modeling, and security and privacy considerations. We analyze the challenging issues in the data-driven model and also in the Big Data revolution. 9.题目:Image Processing Using Smooth Ordering of its Patches 作者:Ram, I. ; Elad, M. ; Cohen, I. 出处:Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on Volume: 22 Issue: 7 Date : July 2013 Page(s): 2764 - 2774 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TIP.2013.2257813 摘要:We propose an image processing scheme based on reordering of its patches. For a given corrupted image, we extract all patches with overlaps, refer to these as coordinates in high-dimensional space, and order them such that they are chained in the “shortest possible path,” essentially solving the traveling salesman problem. The obtained ordering applied to the corrupted image implies a permutation of the image pixels to what should be a regular signal. This enables us to obtain good recovery of the clean image by applying relatively simple one-dimensional smoothing operations (such as filtering or interpolation) to the reordered set of pixels. We explore the use of the proposed approach to image denoising and inpainting, and show promising results in both cases. 10.题目:Are we ready for SDN? Implementation challenges for software-defined networks 作者:Sezer, S. ; Scott-Hayward, S. ; Chouhan, P.K. ; Fraser, B. ; Lake, D. ; Finnegan, J. ; Viljoen, N. ; Miller, M. ; Rao, N. 出处:Communications Magazine, IEEE Volume: 51 Issue: 7 Date : July 2013 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/MCOM.2013.6553676 摘要:Cloud services are exploding, and organizations are converging their data centers in order to take advantage of the predictability, continuity, and quality of service delivered by virtualization technologies. In parallel, energy-efficient and high-security networking is of increasing importance. Network operators, and service and product providers require a new network solution to efficiently tackle the increasing demands of this changing network landscape. Software-defined networking has emerged as an efficient network technology capable of supporting the dynamic nature of future network functions and intelligent applications while lowering operating costs through simplified hardware, software, and management. In this article, the question of how to achieve a successful carrier grade network with software-defined networking is raised. Specific focus is placed on the challenges of network performance, scalability, security, and interoperability 25 with the proposal of potential solution directions. 11.题目:LTE release 12 and beyond [Accepted From Open Call] 作者:Astely, D. ; Dahlman, E. ; Fodor, G. ; Parkvall, S. ; Sachs, J. 出处:Communications Magazine, IEEE Volume: 51 Issue: 7 Date : July 2013 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/MCOM.2013.6553692 摘要:As the specification of Release 11 of the LTE standards is approaching its completion, 3GPP is gradually moving its focus toward the next major step in the evolution of LTE. The drivers of the LTE evolution include the increasing demand for mobile broadband services and traffic volumes as well as emerging usage scenarios involving short-range and machine-type communications. In this article we provide an overview of the key technology areas/components that are currently considered by 3GPP for Rel-12, including support for further enhanced local area access by tight interaction between the wide area and local area layers, signaling solutions for wireless local area network integration, multi-antenna enhancements, improved support for massive MTC, and direct device-to-device communications. 12.题目:Representation Learning: A Review and New Perspectives 作者:Bengio, Y. ; Courville, A. ; Vincent, P. 出处:Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, IEEE Transactions on Volume: 35 Issue: 8 Date : Aug. 2013 Page(s): 1798 - 1828 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TPAMI.2013.50 摘要:The success of machine learning algorithms generally depends on data representation, and we hypothesize that this is because different representations can entangle and hide more or less the different explanatory factors of variation behind the data. Although specific domain knowledge can be used to help design representations, learning with generic priors can also be used, and the quest for AI is motivating the design of more powerful representation-learning algorithms implementing such priors. This paper reviews recent work in the area of unsupervised feature learning and deep learning, covering advances in probabilistic models, autoencoders, manifold learning, and deep networks. This motivates longer term unanswered questions about the appropriate objectives for learning good representations, for computing representations (i.e., inference), and the geometrical connections between representation learning, density estimation, and manifold learning. 13.题目:An Introduction To Compressive Sampling 作者:Candes, E.J. ; Wakin, M.B. 出处:Signal Processing Magazine, IEEE Volume: 25 Issue: 2 Date : March 2008 Page(s): 21 - 30 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/MSP.2007.914731 摘要:Conventional approaches to sampling signals or images follow Shannon's theorem: the sampling rate must be at least twice the maximum frequency present in the signal (Nyquist rate). In the field of data conversion, standard analog-to-digital converter (ADC) technology implements the usual quantized Shannon representation - the signal is uniformly sampled at or above the Nyquist rate. This article surveys the theory of compressive sampling, also known as compressed sensing or CS, a novel sensing/sampling paradigm that goes against the common wisdom in data 26 acquisition. CS theory asserts that one can recover certain signals and images from far fewer samples or measurements than traditional methods use. 14.题目:Evolving and Emerging Applications of Power Electronics in Systems 作者:Kassakian, J.G. ; Jahns, T.M. 出处:Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics, IEEE Journal of Volume: 1 Issue: 2 Date : June 2013 Page(s): 47 - 58 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/JESTPE.2013.2271111 摘要:The continuing trend toward greater electrification and control of functions in consumer, commercial, industrial, transportation, and even medical applications promises a dynamic and increasingly important role for power electronics. The growing penetration of power electronics in energy systems is driven by new materials such as SiC and GaN, as well as new packaging technologies which allow the physical integration of electronics with powered and controlled devices such as motors. Advances in very high-frequency conversion led by the application of SiC and GaN devices promises to make converter-on-a-chip technology possible, but concurrent advances in passive component technology are necessary. The principal challenge to application penetration remains cost reduction. 15.题目:MobSafe: cloud computing based forensic analysis for massive mobile applications using data mining 作者:Xu, J. ; Yu, Y. ; Chen, Z. ; Cao, B. ; Dong, W. ; Guo, Y. ; Cao, J. 出处:Tsinghua Science and Technology Volume: 18 Issue: 4 Date : August 2013 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TST.2013.6574680 摘要:With the explosive increase in mobile apps, more and more threats migrate from traditional PC client to mobile device. Compared with traditional Win+Intel alliance in PC, Android+ARM alliance dominates in Mobile Internet, the apps replace the PC client software as the major target of malicious usage. In this paper, to improve the security status of current mobile apps, we propose a methodology to evaluate mobile apps based on cloud computing platform and data mining. We also present a prototype system named MobSafe to identify the mobile app??s virulence or benignancy. Compared with traditional method, such as permission pattern based method, MobSafe combines the dynamic and static analysis methods to comprehensively evaluate an Android app. In the implementation, we adopt Android Security Evaluation Framework (ASEF) and Static Android Analysis Framework (SAAF), the two representative dynamic and static analysis methods, to evaluate the Android apps and estimate the total time needed to evaluate all the apps stored in one mobile app market. Based on the real trace from a commercial mobile app market called AppChina, we can collect the statistics of the number of active Android apps, the average number apps installed in one Android device, and the expanding ratio of mobile apps. As mobile app market serves as the main line of defence against mobile malwares, our evaluation results show that it is practical to use cloud computing platform and data mining to verify all stored apps routinely to filter out malware apps from mobile app markets. As the future work, MobSafe can extensively use machine learning to conduct automotive forensic analysis of mobile apps based on the generated multifaceted data in this stage. 16.题目:Power-Electronic Systems for the Grid Integration of Renewable Energy Sources: A 27 Survey 作者:Carrasco, J.M. ; Franquelo, L.G. ; Bialasiewicz, J.T. ; Galvan, E. ; Guisado, R.C.P. ; Prats, Ma.A.M. ; Leon, J.I. ; Moreno-Alfonso, N. 出处:Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transactions on Volume: 53 Issue: 4 Date : June 2006 Page(s): 1002 - 1016 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TIE.2006.878356 摘要:The use of distributed energy resources is increasingly being pursued as a supplement and an alternative to large conventional central power stations. The specification of a power-electronic interface is subject to requirements related not only to the renewable energy source itself but also to its effects on the power-system operation, especially where the intermittent energy source constitutes a significant part of the total system capacity. In this paper, new trends in power electronics for the integration of wind and photovoltaic (PV) power generators are presented. A review of the appropriate storage-system technology used for the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources is also introduced. Discussions about common and future trends in renewable energy systems based on reliability and maturity of each technology are presented 17.题目:A Computational Approach to Edge Detection 作者:Canny, John 出处:Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, IEEE Transactions on Volume: PAMI-8 Issue: 6 Date : Nov. 1986 Page(s): 679 - 698 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TPAMI.1986.4767851 摘要:This paper describes a computational approach to edge detection. The success of the approach depends on the definition of a comprehensive set of goals for the computation of edge points. These goals must be precise enough to delimit the desired behavior of the detector while making minimal assumptions about the form of the solution. We define detection and localization criteria for a class of edges, and present mathematical forms for these criteria as functionals on the operator impulse response. A third criterion is then added to ensure that the detector has only one response to a single edge. We use the criteria in numerical optimization to derive detectors for several common image features, including step edges. On specializing the analysis to step edges, we find that there is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals. With this principle we derive a single operator shape which is optimal at any scale. The optimal detector has a simple approximate implementation in which edges are marked at maxima in gradient magnitude of a Gaussian-smoothed image. We extend this simple detector using operators of several widths to cope with different signal-to-noise ratios in the image. We present a general method, called feature synthesis, for the fine-to-coarse integration of information from operators at different scales. Finally we show that step edge detector performance improves considerably as the operator point spread function is extended along the edge. 18.题目:Medical and Biological Engineering in the Next 20 Years: The Promise and the Challenges 作者:American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, C 出处:Biomedical Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Volume: 60 Issue: 7 Date : July 2013 Page(s): 1767 - 1775 28 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TBME.2013.2264829 摘要:In 2011, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) (www.aimbe.org) celebrated its 20th anniversary by undertaking to identify major societal challenges to which medical and biological engineers can contribute solutions in the next 20 years. This report is a summary of the six major challenges that were identified. The report also discusses some specific areas within these high-level challenges that can form the basis for policy action, provides a brief rationale for pursuing those areas, and discusses roadblocks to progress. The six overarching challenges are: 1) engineering safe and sustainable water and food supply, 2) engineering personalized health care, 3) engineering solutions to injury and chronic diseases, 4) engineering global health through infectious disease prevention and therapy, 5) engineering sustainable bioenergy production, and 6) engineering the 21st century US economy. While arrived at independently by AIMBE, many of the elements overlap with similar challenges identified by other bodies. The similarities highlight the central mission of medical and biological engineers, working with other experts, which is to solve important problems central to human health and welfare. 19.题目:Histograms of oriented gradients for human detection 作者:Dalal, N. ; Triggs, B. 出处:Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2005. CVPR 2005. IEEE Computer Society Conference on Volume: 1 Date : 25-25 June 2005 Page(s): 886 - 893 vol. 1 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/CVPR.2005.177 摘要:We study the question of feature sets for robust visual object recognition; adopting linear SVM based human detection as a test case. After reviewing existing edge and gradient based descriptors, we show experimentally that grids of histograms of oriented gradient (HOG) descriptors significantly outperform existing feature sets for human detection. We study the influence of each stage of the computation on performance, concluding that fine-scale gradients, fine orientation binning, relatively coarse spatial binning, and high-quality local contrast normalization in overlapping descriptor blocks are all important for good results. The new approach gives near-perfect separation on the original MIT pedestrian database, so we introduce a more challenging dataset containing over 1800 annotated human images with a large range of pose variations and backgrounds. 20.题目:An Efficient and Secure Dynamic Auditing Protocol for Data Storage in Cloud Computing 作者:Kan Yang ; Xiaohua Jia 出处:Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Transactions on Volume: 24 Issue: 9 Date : Sept. 2013 Page(s): 1717 - 1726 Digital Object Identifier : 10.1109/TPDS.2012.278 摘要:In cloud computing, data owners host their data on cloud servers and users (data consumers) can access the data from cloud servers. Due to the data outsourcing, however, this new paradigm of data hosting service also introduces new security challenges, which requires an independent auditing service to check the data integrity in the cloud. Some existing remote integrity checking methods can only serve for static archive data and, thus, cannot be applied to the auditing service since the data in the cloud can be dynamically updated. Thus, an efficient and secure dynamic 29 auditing protocol is desired to convince data owners that the data are correctly stored in the cloud. In this paper, we first design an auditing framework for cloud storage systems and propose an efficient and privacy-preserving auditing protocol. Then, we extend our auditing protocol to support the data dynamic operations, which is efficient and provably secure in the random oracle model. We further extend our auditing protocol to support batch auditing for both multiple owners and multiple clouds, without using any trusted organizer. The analysis and simulation results show that our proposed auditing protocols are secure and efficient, especially it reduce the computation cost of the auditor. 四、ACM 最新会议 (来源:http://www.acm.org/) 1. 会议名称:ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics (ACM BCB)(BCB'13) 会议时间:September 22 - September 25 2013 会议地点: 会议简介:Wshington DC USA ACM-BCB 2013 Call for Papers The ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics (ACM BCB) is the flagship conference of the ACM SIGBio.

Although the most successful application of satellites is representedby direct-to-home digital broadcasting, satellite applications are much morewidespread, spanning from interactive broadband service provision toterrestrially uncovered regions directly or indirectly via backhaul services.In addition to individual reach, satellites provide key functions forgovernments' civil and military needs and for commercial enterprises. Security and public safety organizations rely on satellites for critical telecommunications, search and rescue operations, tracking of ships at sea,airplanes, environmental sensing and daily monitoring, more so during disaster events such as floods, earthquakes, forest fires or tsunami to name a few. Navigation satellites are nowadays representing a key and often unique high-accuracy localization technique to complement terrestrial sensors. A multitude of space-borne sensors are providing essential information about the Earth status for better weather and climate prediction as well for strategic purposes. These sensors are requiring downloading, processing and distributing a growing amount of data. Our search for a better understanding of the universe and in particular of our galaxy calls for unprecedented communication capacity to be relayed to Earth from various sensors. Improving on the above capabilities and providing new ways to serve mankind are some of the challenges the satellite community must face. The conference will explore these challenges and present new solutions to enhance what satellite scan offer in the various application domains. The objective of the conference is to provide an in depth exploration of the technical, regulatory, economic,and marketing issues affecting these new and planned services. 论文提交:http://www.aiaa.org/icssc2013/ 5. 会议名称:Satellite Communications (JC-SAT 2013) 会议时间:24 - 25 October 2013 会议地点:Fukuoka, Japan 会议简介:JC-SAT conference will cover technologies and system implementations of satellite communications as they relate to the areas of mobile, broadcasting and fixed satellite services. 论文提交:http://www.ieice.org/cs/sat/jpn/purpose_e.html 6. 会议名称:22nd International Congress of Mechanical Engineering – COBEM 2013 会议时间:3 - 7 November 2013 会议地点: Ribeirao Preto 会议简介:COBEM, International Congress of Mechanical Engineering, is the most important event in the field of Mechanical Engineering in Latin America, occurring every two years since 1971.

Iss. SI AUG 2011 摘要: We review the technical progress made in the past several years in the area of mono-and polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technologies based on Si, III-V, II-VI, and I-III-VI(2) semiconductors, as well as nano-PV. PV electricity is one of the best options for sustainable future energy requirements of the world. At present, the PV market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of 35-40%, with PV production around 10.66 GW in 2009. Si and GaAs monocrystalline solar cell efficiencies are very close to the theoretically predicted maximum values. Mono-and polycrystalline wafer Si solar cells remain the predominant PV technology with module production cost around $1.50 per peak watt. Thin-film PV was developed as a means of substantially reducing the cost of solar cells. Remarkable progress has been achieved in this field in recent years. CdTe and Cu(In,Ga)Se(2) thin-film solar cells demonstrated record efficiencies of 43 16.5% and almost 20%, respectively. These values are the highest achieved for thin-film solar cells. Production cost of CdTe thin-film modules is presently around $0.76 per peak watt. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

These processes are based on the transfer of the oxygen from air to the fuel by means of a solid oxygen-carrier avoiding direct contact between fuel and air for different final purposes. CLC has arisen during last years as a very promising combustion technology for power plants and industrial applications with inherent CO2 capture which avoids the energetic penalty present in other competing technologies. CLR uses the chemical looping cycles for H-2 production with additional advantages if CO2 capture is also considered. The review compiles the main milestones reached during last years in the development of these technologies regarding the use of gaseous or solid fuels, the oxygen-carrier development, the continuous operation experience, and modelling at several scales. Up to 2010, more than 700 different materials based on Ni, Cu, Fe, Mn, Co, as well as other mixed oxides and low cost materials, have been compiled. Especial emphasis has been done in those oxygen-carriers tested under continuous operation in Chemical-Looping prototypes. The total time of operational experience ( approximate to 3500 h) in different CLC units in the size range 0.3-120 kW(th), has allowed to demonstrate the technology and to gain in maturity. To help in the design, optimization, and scale-up of the CLC process, modelling work is also reviewed. Different levels of modelling have been accomplished, including fundamentals of the gas-solid reactions in the oxygen-carriers, modelling of the air-and fuel-reactors, and integration of the CLC systems in the power plant. Considering the great advances reached up to date in a very short period of time, it can be said that CLC and CLR are very promising technologies within the framework of the CO2 capture options.

However, the linking of fuel cells (an energy conversion device) and hydrogen (an energy carrier) has emphasized investment in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells as part of a larger hydrogen economy and thus relegated fuel cells to a future technology. In contrast, solid oxide fuel cells are capable of operating on conventional fuels (as well as hydrogen) today. The main issue for solid oxide fuel cells is high operating temperature (about 800 degrees C) and the resulting materials and cost limitations and operating complexities (e. g., thermal cycling). Recent solid oxide fuel cells results have demonstrated extremely high power densities of about 2 watts 44 per square centimeter at 650 degrees C along with flexible fueling, thus enabling higher efficiency within the current fuel infrastructure. Newly developed, high-conductivity electrolytes and nanostructured electrode designs provide a path for further performance improvement at much lower temperatures, down to similar to 350 degrees C, thus providing opportunity to transform the way we convert and store energy. 11 被引用次数: Citations: 54 题目: HYDROGEN SENSORS - A REVIEW 作者: HUBERT T; BOON-BRETT L; BLACK G; BANACH U 出处: SENSOR ACTUATOR B-CHEM 157 (2): 329-352 OCT 20 2011 摘要: Hydrogen sensors are of increasing importance in connection with the development and expanded use of hydrogen gas as an energy carrier and as a chemical reactant.

Iss. SI DEC 2011 摘要: The ENDF/B-VII.1 library is our latest recommended evaluated nuclear data file for use in nuclear science and technology applications, and incorporates advances made in the five years since the release of ENDF/B-VII.0. These advances focus on neutron cross sections, covariances, fission product yields and decay data, and represent work by the US Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG) in nuclear data evaluation that utilizes developments in nuclear theory, modeling, simulation, and experiment. The principal advances in the new library are: (1) An increase in the breadth of neutron reaction cross section coverage, extending from 393 nuclides to 423 nuclides; (2) Covariance uncertainty data for 190 of the most important nuclides, as documented in companion papers in this edition; (3) 45 R-matrix analyses of neutron reactions on light nuclei, including isotopes of He; Li, and Be; (4) Resonance parameter analyses at lower energies and statistical high energy reactions for isotopes of Cl; K; Ti, V, Mn, Cr, Ni, Zr and W; (5) Modifications to thermal neutron reactions on fission products (isotopes of Mo, Tc, Rh, Ag, Cs, Nd, Sm, Eu) and neutron absorber materials (Cd, Gd); (6) Improved minor actinide evaluations for isotopes of U, Np, Pu, and Am (we are not making changes to the major actinides U-235,U-238 and Pu-239 at this point, except for delayed neutron data and covariances, and instead we intend to update them after a further period of research in experiment and theory), and our adoption of JENDL-4.0 evaluations for isotopes of Cm, Bk, Cf, Es; Fm; and some other minor actinides; (7) Fission energy release evaluations; (8) Fission product yield advances for fission-spectrum neutrons and 14 MeV neutrons incident on Pu-239; and (9) A new decay data sublibrary. Integral validation testing of the ENDF/B-VII.1 library is provided for a variety of quantities: For nuclear criticality, the VII.1 library maintains the generally-good performance seen for VII.0 for a wide range of MCNP simulations of criticality benchmarks, with improved performance coming from new structural material evaluations, especially for Ti, Mn, Cr, Zr and W. For Be we see some improvements although the fast assembly data appear to be mutually inconsistent. Actinide cross section updates are also assessed through comparisons of fission and capture reaction rate measurements in critical assemblies and fast reactors, and improvements are evident. Maxwellian-averaged capture cross sections at 30 keV are also provided for astrophysics applications. We describe the cross section evaluations that have been updated for ENDF/B-VII.1 and the measured data and calculations that motivated the changes, and therefore this paper augments the ENDF/B-VII.0 publication [H. 13 被引用次数: Citations: 51 题目: BIOETHANOL PRODUCTION FROM AGRICULTURAL WASTES: AN OVERVIEW 作者: SARKAR N; GHOSH SK; BANNERJEE S; AIKAT K 出处: RENEWABLE ENERGY 37 (1): 19-27 JAN 2012 摘要: Due to rapid growth in population and industrialization, worldwide ethanol demand is increasing continuously. Conventional crops such as corn and sugarcane are unable to meet the global demand of bioethanol production due to their primary value of food and feed. Therefore, lignocellulosic substances such as agricultural wastes are attractive feedstocks for bioethanol production. Agricultural wastes are cost effective, renewable and abundant. Bioethanol from agricultural waste could be a promising technology though the process has several challenges and limitations such as biomass transport and handling, and efficient pretreatment methods for total delignification of lignocellulosics. Proper pretreatment methods can increase concentrations of fermentable sugars after enzymatic saccharification, thereby improving the efficiency of the whole process. Conversion of glucose as well as xylose to ethanol needs some new fermentation technologies, to make the whole process cost effective. In this review, available technologies for bioethanol production from agricultural wastes are discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Iss. SI AUG 15 2011 摘要: Sulfur-graphene (S-GNS) composites have been synthesized by heating a mixture of graphene nanosheets and elemental sulfur. According to field emission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray mapping, Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis, sulfur particles were uniformly coated onto the surface of the graphene nanosheets. The electrochemical results show that the sulfur-graphene nanosheet composite significantly improved the electrical conductivity, the capacity, and the cycle stability in a lithium cell compared with the bare sulfur electrode.

It offers a new viewpoint to better understand the common property of different NMF algorithms. Although multiplicative update rule (MUR) can solve NPAF and is easy to implement, it converges slowly. Thus, we propose a fast gradient descent (FGD) to overcome the aforementioned problem. FGD uses the Newton method to search the optimal step size, and thus converges faster than MUR. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets confirm the efficiency of FGD compared with MUR for optimizing NPAF. Based on NPAF, we develop non-negative discriminative locality alignment (NDLA). Experiments on face image and handwritten datasets suggest the effectiveness of NDLA in classification tasks and its robustness to image occlusions, compared with representative NMF-related dimension reduction algorithms. 17 被引用次数: Citations: 45 题目: ON A SYSTEM OF DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS 作者: STEVIC S 出处: APPL MATH COMPUT 218 (7): 3372-3378 DEC 1 2011 摘要: We show that the system of difference equations x(n+1) = ax(n-1)/by(n)x(n-1) + c, y(n+1) = alpha y(n-1)/beta x(n)y(n-1) + gamma, n is an element of N-0, where the parameters a, b, c, alpha, beta, gamma and initial values x (1), x(0), y (1), y(0) are real 47 numbers, can be solved, considerably improving the results in the literature.

This is because the learned bases can be interpreted as a natural parts-based representation of data and this interpretation is consistent with the psychological intuition of combining parts to form a whole. For practical classification tasks, however, NMF ignores both the local geometry of data and the discriminative information of different classes. In addition, existing research results show that the learned basis is unnecessarily parts-based because there is neither explicit nor implicit constraint to ensure the representation parts-based. In this paper, we introduce the manifold regularization and the margin maximization to NMF and obtain the manifold regularized discriminative NMF (MD-NMF) to overcome the aforementioned problems. The multiplicative update rule (MUR) can be applied to optimizing MD-NMF, but it converges slowly. In this paper, we propose a fast gradient descent (FGD) to optimize MD-NMF. FGD contains a Newton method that searches the optimal step length, and thus, FGD converges much faster than MUR. In addition, FGD includes MUR as a special case and can be applied to optimizing NMF and its variants. For a problem with 165 samples in R(1600), FGD converges in 28 s, while MUR requires 282 s. We also apply FGD in a variant of MD-NMF and experimental results confirm its efficiency. Experimental results on several face image datasets suggest the effectiveness of MD-NMF. 19 被引用次数: Citations: 41 题目: ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSORS BASED ON GRAPHENE MATERIALS 作者: GAN T; HU SS 出处: MICROCHIM ACTA 175 (1-2): 1-19 OCT 2011 摘要: Single-layered graphene, emerging as a true two-dimensional nanomaterial, has tremendous potential for electrochemical catalysis and biosensing as a novel electrode material. Considering the excellent properties of graphene, such as large surface-to-volume ratio, high conductivity and electron mobility at room temperature, low energy dynamics of electrons with atomic thickness, robust mechanical and flexibility, we give a general view of recent advances in electrochemical sensors based on graphene. We are highlighting here important applications of graphene and graphene nanocomposites, and the assay strategies in electrochemical sensors for DNA, proteins, neurotransmitters, phytohormones, pollutants, metal ions, gases, hydrogen peroxide, and in medical, enzymatic and immunosensors. 20 被引用次数: Citations: 41 题 目 : WHOLE-ORGAN TISSUE ENGINEERING: DECELLULARIZATION RECELLULARIZATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL MATRIX SCAFFOLDS 作者: BADYLAK SF; TAYLOR D; UYGUN K 48 AND 出处: ANNU REV BIOMED ENG 13: 27-53 2011 摘要: The definitive treatment for end-stage organ failure is orthotopic transplantation. However, the demand for transplantation far exceeds the number of available donor organs. A promising tissue-engineering/regenerative-medicine approach for functional organ replacement has emerged in recent years. Decellularization of donor organs such as heart, liver, and lung can provide an acellular, naturally occurring three-dimensional biologic scaffold material that can then be seeded with selected cell populations. Preliminary studies in animal models have provided encouraging results for the proof of concept. However, significant challenges for three-dimensional organ engineering approach remain. This manuscript describes the fundamental concepts of whole-organ engineering, including characterization of the extracellular matrix as a scaffold, methods for decellularization of vascular organs, potential cells to reseed such a scaffold, techniques for the recellularization process and important aspects regarding bioreactor design to support this approach. Critical challenges and future directions are also discussed. 承 办:西北工业大学图书馆信息咨询与情报研究部 审 稿:刘秋让 电 话:(029)88492928 编 辑:燕 辉 罗星华 E-mail: shiny@nwpu.edu.cn 责任编辑:师俏梅 49
