Stability of electronic nose (e-nose) as determined by considering date-pits heated at different temperatures

Variability and sensitivity of a portable electronic nose (32 sensors) was assessed by considering different variables for measurement (i.e., reference, standard, first and second purges, sample draw time, waiting time for the volatiles released in the headspace, and mass of sample or headspace volume of the jar containing sample). In this study, dried date-pits were used a model sample. The highest stability was achieved when both reference and standard (i.e., dried date-pits, no heating treatment) were used before test sample measurement. Higher sample draw time more than 10 s significantly decreased the stability, whereas optimum second purge was observed at 50 s. Optimum time to generate volatile was observed as 24 h. A sample of 100 g increased the signal intensity compared to the 50 g sample for the 60°C and 100°C treated samples, while an opposite trend was observed for the 150°C treated sample. Finally, the responses of volatile components in date-pits heated at different temperatures (60°C, 100°C, and 150°C) were measured using the optimum operating conditions. Principal component analysis explored the relationships between the volatile features and classified date-pits heated at different temperatures. The results showed that an electronic nose was able to classify date-pits based on their volatile components generated by different degrees of heating (93.3% accuracy).     

Evaluation of the electrical integrity of E-textiles subjected to environmental conditions

E-textiles contain electrically conductive elements and electronic devices that are integrated in textile substrate. Wearable e-textiles are expected to perform like textiles in terms of breathability, conformability, and comfort despite the presence of the electrically conductive elements and electronics. E-textiles are also expected to provide reliable data and signal processing like electronic devices while they are subjected to normal wear and tear under different environmental conditions. The goal of this research was to investigate the electrical integrity of e-textiles while they are subjected to environmental conditions. Different woven samples of electronic-improved outer tactical vest with two narrow conductive traces woven in the warp direction were subjected to range of temperatures and humidity, including extreme conditions. The effects of formation parameters (e-yarn type, number of e-yarns/trace, and weldability), temperature, and humidity on the integrity of the e-textiles were studied. It was found that resistance of networks was affected by changes in air temperature and humidity and the quality of the weld had the greatest impact on electrical integrity of the conductive network. This impact was pronounced in more extreme environmental conditions, which revealed that there was a strong interaction between the weldability, temperature, and humidity.     

Capitalizing on the Koran to fuel online violent radicalization: A taxonomy of Koranic references in ISIS’s Dabiq

The current study set out to investigate to what extent ISIS is bolstering its jihadist ideology on a ‘cut-and-paste’ or ‘cherry-picked’ version of Islam in their renowned online propaganda magazine Dabiq. The main objective was to examine in a systematic and quantitative way to what extent ISIS utilizes the Koran in an atomistic, truncated and tailored manner to bolster its religious legitimacy. A total of 15 issues of Dabiq and 700 Koranic references were scrutinized. By means of a quantitative analysis we developed an innovative taxonomy of Koranic chapters and verses (i.e. surahs and ayat, respectively) on the basis of their appearance in Dabiq. Our large-scale data analysis provide consistent empirical evidence for severe decontextualization practices of the Koran in three ways: (1) a thin, Medinan-dominated religious layer, (2) ayah mutilation, and (3) clustered versus exclusive mentions. Limitations and implications for future research, policy makers and CVE initiatives are discussed.     

Effect of in-app components,medium, and screen size of electronic textbooks on reading performance,behavior, and perception

Although many app-based textbooks are available for students, reading have not been thoroughly outlined. This study aimed to understand how changes from paper to electronic textbooks have affected the academic reading task, investigate student users’ perceptions of in-app components and screen sizes, and identify issues affecting in-app components and task requirements. A mixed factorial design experiment was employed. Results showed that there were no significant changes in comprehension and time spent reading between print text and the iPad. Yet, student highlighting, notetaking, and reading behavior and perception significantly changed based on condition. In addition, students struggled to use in-app components and found them frustrating especially when accounting for sentence splitting. The findings presented can assist in understanding the changes in student reading behavior, which can be used to improve interface design of future e-textbooks.     

Effect of Y concentration and film thickness on microstructure and electrical properties of HfO2 based thin films

In this work, we introduced a simple solution processing method to prepare yttrium (Y) doped hafnium oxide (HfO₂) based dielectric films. The films had high densities, low surface roughness, maximum permittivity of about 32, leakage current < 1.0 × 10^?7 A/cm² at 2 MV/cm, and breakdown field >5.0 MV/cm. In addition to dielectric performance, we investigated the influence of YO_1.5 fraction on the electronic structure between Y doped HfO₂ thin films and silicon (Si) substrates. The valence band electronic structure, energy gap and conduction band structure changed linearly with YO_1.5 fraction. Given this cost-effective deposition technique and excellent dielectric performance, solution-processed Y doped HfO₂ based thin films have the potential for insulator applications.     

DFT investigation analyzed with data mining technique of rare-earth dihydrides REH2 for hydrogen storage

Ab initio calculation and data mining are very useful methods to predict the interrelationships among structure properties. In this paper, the first-principles modelling based on the density functional theory (DFT) was used to explore the structural, mechanical, and electronic properties of ten hydrides REH₂ (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm). From the present work, it can be noted that LaH₂, CeH₂, NdH_2, and PrH₂ compounds crystallizing in the hydrogen-rich cubic phase present good mechanical properties which could be of use to future applications in hydrogen storage. Furthermore, the electronic structures were also evaluated to provide a deep insight regarding their trends and confirm the metallic character of these systems. While, HoH₂, DyH₂, ErH₂, TbH₂, TmH₂, SmH₂ hydrides are mainly hard and rigid systems with high values of the bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G), Young's modulus (E), micro-hardness (H), and low values of B/G ratio. More significantly, the adopted principal component analysis (PCA) provided an advantageous technique in selecting and identifying the minimum of inputs variables necessary to capture all information of the systems.     

Iron-doped cobalt nitride nanoparticles (Fe–Co3N): An efficient electrocatalyst for water oxidation

The exploration of efficient, low-cost and earth-abundant oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts and the understanding of the intrinsic mechanism are important to advance the clean energy conversion technique based on electrochemical water oxidation. In this work, Fe-doping Co₃N catalysts were successfully synthesized by a simple nitridation reaction of the Co_3-xFe_xO₄ precursor. This material exhibited a low overpotential of 294 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm^?2, and a small Tafel slope of 49 mV dec^?1 in 1 M KOH solution, superior to the performance of Co₃N and IrO₂. As revealed by the spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses, the enhanced OER performance mainly originates from the electronic modulation induced by the incorporation of Fe into Co₃N, benefitting the formation of CoOOH as active surface species and thus facilitating the OER process. These findings also demonstrate the introduction of heterogeneous element is a simple and effective strategy to regulate the OER property of the cobalt nitrides (Co₃N) catalysts.
