Warpage deformation analysis of AMB ceramic substrates in power modules

Driven by the increasing demand for high-power systems, ceramic substrates have received more attention for handling higher power density. Warpage in active metal brazed (AMB) ceramic substrate becomes a critical issue as it can deteriorate the reliability performance. This study comprises three phases, including investigation of the cause of...

Real-time pipeline leak detection and localization using an attention-based LSTM approach

Long short-term memory (LSTM) has been widely applied to real-time automated natural gas leak detection and localization. However, LSTM approach could not provide the interpretation that this leak position is localized instead of other positions. This study proposes a leakage detection and localization approach by integrating the attention...

GazeNeRF: 3D-Aware Gaze Redirection with Neural Radiance Fields

We propose GazeNeRF, a 3D-aware method for the task of gaze redirection. Existing gaze redirection methods operate on 2D images and struggle to generate 3D consistent results. Instead, we build on the intuition that the face region and eyeballs are separate 3D structures that move in a coordinated yet independent fashion. Our method leverages...

Influence of liquid-binder ratio on the performance of alkali-activated slag mortar with superabsorbent polymer

The influences of liquid-binder ratio and mixing sequence on the performance of superabsorbent polymer (SAP)-containing alkali-activated slag (AAS) mortar are investigated in this study. It is found that the SAP absorbs much less liquid in upper supernatant of AAS than in water. Mixing SAP with liquid first induces a larger absorption...

Effect of superabsorbent polymer introduction on properties of alkali-activated slag mortar

Internal curing by superabsorbent polymer (SAP) has been applied in alkali-activated slag (AAS) systems by a few previous studies with the purpose to mitigate the autogenous shrinkage. However, the effects of SAP on other properties of AAS have been rarely studied. In this paper, the workability, strength, permeability, and frost resistance...

High-Silica CHA Zeolite Membrane with Ultra-High Selectivity and Irradiation Stability for Krypton/Xenon Separation

Capture and storage of the long-lived ⁸⁵Kr is an efficient approach to mitigate the emission of volatile radionuclides from the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities. However, it is challenging to separate krypton (Kr) from xenon (Xe) because of the chemical inertness and similar physical properties. Herein we prepared high...

Scenario-based extreme flood risk of residential buildings and household properties in Shanghai

Extreme flooding usually causes huge losses of residential buildings and household properties, which is critical to flood risk analysis and flood resilience building in Shanghai. We developed a scenario-based multidisciplinary approach to analyze the exposure, losses and risks of residential buildings and household properties, and their...

The application model of 3D cadastre in practical registration for real estate in China

Since the introduction of the concept of 3D cadastre, a great many of significant research results have been done. To promote the development of 3D cadatre, 3D cadastre working group sponsored by International Federation Surveyors (FIG) commissions 3 and 7 was organized by Delft University of Technology in 2001. This working group provides a...
