Turning dynamics and equilibrium of two-wheeled vehicles
AbstractThe equations of motion of two-wheeled vehicles, e g bicycles or motorcycles, are developed by using Lagrange’s equations for quasi-coord mates The pure rolling constiatnts between the ground...
View ArticleThe seed development of a mycoheterotrophic orchid, Cyrtosia javanica Blume
AbstractBackgroundCyrtosia javanica is a rare, mycoheterotrophic vanilloid orchid native to the bamboo forest in central Taiwan. Like some vanilloid orchids, the seeds of C. javanica are hard and...
View ArticleDesign customization of respiratory mask based on 3D face anthropometric data
AbstractThis study presents a machine learning based method for design customization of a 3D respiratory mask. A parametric model of a 3D human face was constructed from an anthropometric database...
View ArticleElectronic Structures of Clusters of Hydrogen Vacancies on Graphene
AbstractHydrogen vacancies in graphane are products of incomplete hydrogenation of graphene. The missing H atoms can alter the electronic structure of graphane and therefore tune the electronic,...
View ArticleIntegrating ecosystem services in terrestrial conservation planning
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to estimate the benefits of ecosystem services for prioritization of land use conservation and to highlight the importance of ecosystem services by comparison...
View ArticleImpact of enhanced oxide reducibility on rates of solar-driven thermochemical...
AbstractTwo-step, solar-driven thermochemical fuel production offers the potential of efficient conversion of solar energy into dispatchable chemical fuel. Success relies on the availability of...
View ArticleArmchair MoS2 nanoribbons turned into half metals through deposition of...
AbstractMoS2 nanoribbons with armchair-terminated edges are semiconductors suitable for the tuning of electronic and magnetic properties. Our first-principles density function calculations reveal that...
View ArticleMolecular genetic and biochemical evidence for adaptive evolution of leaf...
AbstractBackgroundLeaf epicuticular wax is an important functional trait for physiological regulation and pathogen defense. This study tests how selective pressure may have forced the trait of leaf...
View ArticleNuclear and chloroplast DNA phylogeography suggests an Early Miocene...
AbstractBackgroundMost genera of Fagaceae are thought to have originated in the temperate regions except for the genus Lithocarpus, the stone oaks. Lithocarpus is distributed in subtropical and...

AbstractThis study developed an augmented reality (AR)-based training system for conventional manual milling operations. An Intel RealSense R200 depth camera and a Leap Motion controller were mounted...
View ArticleElectronic structures of WS2 armchair nanoribbons doped with transition metals
AbstractArmchair WS2 nanoribbons are semiconductors with band gaps close to 0.5 eV. If some of the W atoms in the ribbon are replaced by transition metals, the impurity states can tremendously affect...
View ArticleExchange interaction for the triplet superconductor UTe2
AbstractUTe2 is one triplet superconductor that defies conventional relation between ferromagnetism and superconductivity. Our search for a theoretical explanation starts with one spin-triplet state of...
View ArticleMeasuring circularity potential for medical waste management – a dynamic...
AbstractThe global transition towards circular economy (CE) signifies a shift in industrial waste management objective from “expansion of recycling industry” to achieve “waste as resource”. The medical...
