Nonparametric Segment Detection

In computer and robotic vision point clouds from depth sensors<br/>have to be processed to form higher-level concepts such as lines,<br/>planes, and objects. Bayesian methods formulate precisely prior knowledge<br/>with respect to the noise and likelihood of points given a line, plane,<br/>or object. Nonparametric methods also formulate a prior...

Polarizable force fields for CO₂ and CH₄ adsorption in M-MOF-74

(Graph Presented) The family of M-MOF-74, with M = Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Ti, V, and Zn, provides opportunities for numerous energy related gas separation applications. The pore structure of M-MOF-74 exhibits a high internal surface area and an exceptionally large adsorption capacity. The chemical environment of the adsorbate molecule in...

Synchronization of Cyclic Power Grids: Equilibria and Stability of the Synchronous State

Synchronization is essential for the proper functioning of power grids, we investigate the synchronous states<br/>and their stability for cyclic power grids. We calculate the number of stable equilibria and investigate both the linear and nonlinear stability of the synchronous state. The linear stability analysis shows that the stability of the...

Potential of polarizable force fields for predicting the separation performance of small hydrocarbons in M-MOF-74

The separation of light olefins from paraffins via cryogenic distillation is a very energy intensive process. Solid adsorbents and especially metal-organic frameworks with open metal sites have the potential to significantly lower the required energy. Specifically, M-MOF-74 has drawn considerable attention for application in olefin/paraffin...

Polarizable force field for CO₂ in M-MOF-74 derived from quantum mechanics

On the short term, carbon capture is a viable solution to reduce human-induced CO₂ emissions, which requires an energy efficient separation of CO₂. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) may offer opportunities for carbon capture and other industrially relevant separations. Especially, MOFs with embedded open metal sites have...
