Monolithically integrated CoP nanowire array: An on/off switch for effective on-demand hydrogen generation via hydrolysis of NaBH<Subscript>4</Subscript> and NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>BH<Subscript>3</Subscript>

The issues of hydrogen generation and storage have hindered the widespread use and commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.It is thus highly attractive,but the design and development of highly active non-noble-metal catalysts for on-demand hydrogen release from alkaline NaBH4 solution under mild conditions remains a key challenge.Herein,we describe the use of CoP nanowire array integrated on a Ti mesh (CoP NA/Ti) as a three-dimensional (3D) monolithic catalyst for efficient hydrolytic dehydrogenation of NaBH4 in basic solutions.The CoP NA/Ti works as an on/off switch for on-demand hydrogen generation at a rate of 6,500 mL/(min.g) and a low activation energy of 41 kJ/mol.It is highly robust for repeated usage after recycling,without sacrificing catalytic performance.Remarkably,this catalyst also performs efficiently for the hydrolysis of NH3BH3.

Stochastic differential equations driven by a Wiener process and fractional Brownian motion: Convergence in Besov space with respect to a parameter

A stochastic differential equation involving both a Wiener process and fractional Brownian motion, with nonhomogeneous coefficients and random initial condition, is considered. The coefficients and initial condition depend on a parameter. The assumptions on the coefficients and the initial condition supplying continuous dependence of the solution on a parameter, with respect to the Besov space norm, are established.     

Global Interoperability Using Semantics, Standards, Science and Technology (GIST)

“Global Interoperability Using Semantics, Standards, Science and Technology” is a concept that is predicated on the assumption that the semantic integration, frameworks and standards that support information exchange, and advances in science and technology can enable information-systems interoperability for many diverse users. This paper recommends technologies and approaches for enabling interoperability across a wide spectrum of political, geographical, and organizational levels, e.g. coalition, federal, state, tribal, regional, non government, and private. These recommendations represent steps toward the goal of the Semantic Web, where computers understand information on web sites through knowledge representations, agents, and ontologies.     

Reachability determination in acyclic Petri nets by cell enumeration approach

Reachability is one of the most important behavioral properties of Petri nets. We propose in this paper a novel approach for solving the fundamental equation in the reachability analysis of acyclic Petri nets, which has been known to be NP-complete. More specifically, by adopting a revised version of the cell enumeration method for an arrangement of hyperplanes in discrete geometry, we develop an efficient solution scheme to identify firing count vector solution(s) to the fundamental equation on a bounded integer set, with a complexity bound of O((nu)^n−m), where n is the number of transitions, m is the number of places and u is the upper bound of the number of firings for all individual transitions.     

Multi‐agent collaboration based on enhanced cognitive awareness: an architecture for agents' profiling on the semantic web

This paper applies cognitive models, inspired by cognitive science, with the aim to propose architectural and knowledge‐based requirements to structure ontological models for the cognitive profiling of agents. The proposed architecture aims to address the lack of flexibility that most agent‐based collaborations are affected by. The resulting agents, equipped with advanced cognitive profiling, have an increased cognitive awareness of themselves and are more capable of interacting with other agents in a multi‐agents based environment. In this research, cognitive awareness identifies the ability of the web agents to diagnose their processing limitations and to establish interactions with the external environment. The outcome is the enhanced flexibility, reusability and predictability of the agent behaviour; thus contributing towards minimizing human cognitive demands. The concept of cognitive profiling presented in this paper considers the semantic web as an action mediating space, where ontological models provide affordances for improving cognitive awareness through shared knowledge‐base. The conceptual model for the cognitive profile architecture is developed with Protégé Ontology editor to generate OWL Ontology and evaluated through a proof of concept. The results show that agents equipped with cognitive awareness can undertake complex tasks more dynamically.     

Similarity-based image organization and browsing using multi-resolution self-organizing map

An algorithm is presented in this paper to facilitate the exploration of large image collections based on visual similarities. Starting with an unordered and unannotated set of images, the algorithm first extracts the salient details into feature vectors using both color and gradient information. The feature vectors are then used to train a self-organizing map which maps high-dimensional feature vectors onto a 2D canvas so that images with similar feature vectors are grouped together. When users browse the image collection, an image collage is generated that selects and displays the most pertinent set of images based on which portion of the 2D canvas is currently in view. Flowing from an overview to details is a seamless operation controlled simply by pan and zoom, with representative images selected in a consistent and predictable way. To make organizing larger image collections practical in interactive time, the organization algorithm is designed to run in parallel on graphics processing units. Overall this paper presents an end-to-end solution that facilitates the surfing of image collections in a fresh way.
