Cross Tensor Approximation Methods for Compression and Dimensionality Reduction
Cross Tensor Approximation (CTA) is a generalization of Cross/skeleton matrix and CUR Matrix Approximation (CMA) and is a suitable tool for fast low-rank tensor approximation. It facilitates interpreting the underlying data tensors and decomposing/compressing tensors so that their structures, such as nonnegativity, smoothness, or sparsity, can be potentially preserved. This paper reviews and extends stateof-the-art deterministic and randomized algorithms for CTA with intuitive graphical illustrations.We discuss several possible generalizations of the CMA to tensors, including CTAs: based on ber selection, slice-tube selection, and lateral-horizontal slice selection. The main focus is on the CTA algorithms using Tucker and tubal SVD (t-SVD) models while we provide references to other decompositions such as Tensor Train (TT), Hierarchical Tucker (HT), and Canonical Polyadic (CP) decompositions. We evaluate the performance of the CTA algorithms by extensive computer simulations to compress color and medical images and compare their performance.Fil: Ahmadi Asl, Salman.

The multichannel discharge plasma synthetic jet actuator
The plasma synthetic jet actuator (PSJA) is a flow control device capable of generating high speed pulsed jet. However, the performance of conventional PSJA is restricted by low discharge efficiency and small control area, because one power supply only drives one electrode couple. The present work is to propose a new concept of multichannel discharge plasma synthetic jet actuator (MD-PSJA), which is driven by single power supply. The new MD-PSJA has two types, namely the multi-electrode PSJA and the multi-PSJA array. These two types of MD-PSJA are examined experimentally. The multi-electrode PSJA containing 11-electrode PSJA is first studied. Comparison with standard 2-electrode PSJA reveals that the discharge efficiency and jet velocity increase 200% and 47% respectively under the same input energy and discharge voltage. The multi-PSJA array is later evaluated. One power supply is found to be able to drive an array of 12 PSJAs, resulting in 6 times affected area and 64% jet velocity of a conventional PSJA. The proposed MD-PSJA is finally concluded an improved active flow control actuator in high speed applications

A hybrid solid electrolyte for flexible solid-state sodium batteries
Development of Na-ion battery electrolyte with high-performance electrochemical properties and high safety is still challenging to achieve. In this study, we report on a NASICON (Na3Zr2Si2PO12)-based composite hybrid solid electrolyte (HSE) designed for use in a high safety solid-state sodium battery for the first time. The composite HSE design yields the required solid-state electrolyte properties for this application, including high ionic conductivity, a wide electrochemical window, and high thermal stability. The solid-state batteries of half-cell type exhibit an initial discharge capacity of 330 and 131 mA h g(-1) for a hard carbon anode and a NaFePO4 cathode at a 0.2C-rate of room temperature, respectively. Moreover, a pouch-type flexible solid-state full-cell comprising hard carbon/HSE/NaFePO4 exhibits a highly reversible electrochemical reaction, high specific capacity, and a good, stable cycle life with high flexibility.open0
Synthesis and Pro-Apoptotic Activity of Novel Glycyrrhetinic Acid Derivatives
Triterpenoids are used for medicinal purposes in many countries. Some, such as oleanolic and glycyrrhetinic acids, are known to be anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic. However, the biological activities of these naturally occurring molecules against their particular targets are weak, so the synthesis of new synthetic analogues with enhanced potency is needed. By combining modifications to both the A and C rings of 18βH-glycyrrhetinic acid, the novel synthetic derivative methyl 2-cyano-3,12-dioxo-18βH-olean-9(11),1(2)-dien-30-oate was obtained. This derivative displays high antiproliferative activity in cancer cells, including a cell line with a multidrug-resistance phenotype. It causes cell death by inducing the intrinsic caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway
On the stability of the exact solutions of the dual-phase lagging model of heat conduction
The dual-phase lagging (DPL) model has been considered as one of the most promising theoretical approaches to generalize the classical Fourier law for heat conduction involving short time and space scales. Its applicability, potential, equivalences, and possible drawbacks have been discussed in the current literature. In this study, the implications of solving the exact DPL model of heat conduction in a three-dimensional bounded domain solution are explored. Based on the principle of causality, it is shown that the temperature gradient must be always the cause and the heat flux must be the effect in the process of heat transfer under the dual-phase model. This fact establishes explicitly that the single- and DPL models with different physical origins are mathematically equivalent. In addition, taking into account the properties of the Lambert W function and by requiring that the temperature remains stable, in such a way that it does not go to infinity when the time increases, it is shown that the DPL model in its exact form cannot provide a general description of the heat conduction phenomena
Quantum Fluctuation Theorems
Recent advances in experimental techniques allow one to measure and control
systems at the level of single molecules and atoms. Here gaining information
about fluctuating thermodynamic quantities is crucial for understanding
nonequilibrium thermodynamic behavior of small systems. To achieve this aim,
stochastic thermodynamics offers a theoretical framework, and nonequilibrium
equalities such as Jarzynski equality and fluctuation theorems provide key
information about the fluctuating thermodynamic quantities. We review the
recent progress in quantum fluctuation theorems, including the studies of
Maxwell's demon which plays a crucial role in connecting thermodynamics with
information.Comment: As a chapter of: F. Binder, L. A. Correa, C. Gogolin, J. Anders, and

Free-Standing Hierarchically Sandwich-Type Tungsten Disulfide Nanotubes/Graphene Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), analogue of graphene, could form various dimensionalities. Similar to carbon, one dimensional (1D) nanotube of TMD materials has wide application in hydrogen storage,Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors due to their unique structure and properties. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of tungsten disulfide nanotubes (WS2-NTs)/graphene (GS) sandwich-type architecture as anode for lithium-ion batteries for the first time. The graphene based hierarchical architecture plays vital roles in achieving fast electron/ion transfer, thus leading to good electrochemical performance. When evaluated as anode, WS2-NTs /GS hybrid could maintain a capacity of 318.6 mA/g over 500 cycles at a current density of 1A/g. Besides, the hybrid anode does not require any additional polymetric binder, conductive additives or a separate metal current-collector. The relatively high density of this hybrid is beneficial for high capacity per unit volume. Those characteristics make it a potential anode material for light and high performance lithium-ion batteries
