Effect of solid-solution strengthening on deformation mechanisms and strain hardening in medium-entropy V_1-xCr_xCoNi alloys

High- and medium-entropy alloys (HEAs and MEAs) possess high solid-solution strength. Numerous investigations have been conducted on its impact on yield strength, however, there are limited reports regarding the relation between solid-solution strengthening and strain-hardening rate. In addition, no attempt has been made to account for the...

Tetrameric architecture of an active phenol-bound form of the AAA⁺ transcriptional regulator DmpR

The Pseudomonas putida phenol-responsive regulator DmpR is a bacterial enhancer binding protein (bEBP) from the AAA⁺ ATPase family. Even though it was discovered more than two decades ago and has been widely used for aromatic hydrocarbon sensing, the activation mechanism of DmpR has remained elusive. Here, we show that phenol-bound...

Porous Metal-Organic Framework CUK-1 for Adsorption Heat Allocation toward Green Applications of Natural Refrigerant Water

The development of new water adsorbents that are hydrothermally stable and can operate more efficiently than existing materials is essential for the advancement of water adsorption-driven chillers. Most of the existing benchmark materials and related systems in this field suffer from clear limitations that must be overcome to meet global...

Study of the performance of automatic speech recognition systems in speakers with Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) affects motor capabilities of patients, who in some cases need to use human-computer assistive technologies to regain independence. The objective of this work is to study in detail the differences in error patterns from state-of-the-art Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems on speech from people with and without PD....

A Review of 3D Cadastre Pilot Project and the Policy of 3D NSDI in the Republic of Korea

Recently, due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and population growth, the structures of cities are changing rapidly; multi-purpose three dimensional facilities above and below surface have been increased. Despite the three dimensional space registration such as building and basement facilities is necessary, it is impossible to represent...
