Journal of Electrochemistry

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries represent promising candidates for next-generation energy storage system due to their high energy density and low material cost. However, the industrial application of Li-S batteries remains challenges because of the shuttle effect from lithium polysulfides and the lack of facial routes for Li-S battery preparation. To solve these problems, a cathode consisting of different commercial carbon materials, namely, acetylene black (SP), Ketjen Black (KB) and carbon nanotube (CNT), with sulfur (S) is prepared separately for Li-S battery. After the process of 8-h ball milling for KB/S composite, together with the polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) binder, the cathode could …

Effect Of 18-Crown-6 Additive On Chromium Electrodeposition In Ionic Liquid, Yi-Jie Wang, Dong-Fang Niu, Xin-Sheng Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Trivalent chromium ion (Cr3+) is used for electrodeposition due to its low toxicity. Electrodeposition in ionic liquids can greatly solve for hydrogen evolution problem. However,as a widely used Cr(III) precursor, chromium chloride hydrate (CrCl3·6H2O), still contains water. In the presence of water, Cr3+ will form a complex coordination structure with water molecules ([Cr(H2O)6]3+), which is a stable octahedral structure and is difficult to be directly reduced to chromium metal. Therefore, coordination agents should be added into the bath. In this work, the effect of 18-Crown-6 additive on …

An Integrated Three-Flow Approach For Front-End Service Composition, Lim Mei Ting Dec 2020

An Integrated Three-Flow Approach For Front-End Service Composition, Lim Mei Ting

Student Works (2020-2029)

End-User Service Composition (EUSC) aims to enable end-user programmers who are not professional developers, develop applications by composing or aggregating existing web services. Despite the effort, studies have shown that end-user programmers are not able to deal with the technical complexities involved in EUSC. One way to deal with this issue is Front-End Service Composition (FESC), which allows end-user programmers to compose web services at the presentation layer of an application by configuring User Interface (UI) widgets that represent the back-end web services. However, apart from there not being enough studies on FESC, end-user programmers also experience a number of …

Bulletin of TUIT: Management and Communication Technologies

Formalization approaches of user interface design (UID) in conjunction with model driven techniques aim to improve the usability in terms of conformity to standards or style guides and to leverage code generation of interactive software systems, so that various UI platforms for web, desktop or mobile Applications are supported. Because large parts of the UI are described platform independent instead of platform dependent implementations, re-usability of the UI concept is also improved. However, UI formalization requires the usage of a formal UI description language and a higher level of abstractness compared to concrete UI code. These languages need to be …

Short-Term Fatigue Damage Of Tethers Of Long-Span Floating Cable Supported Bridges Under Harsh Waves, Deokhee Won, Keesei Lee, Young-Jong Kang, Seungjun Kim

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

A floating bridge can be effectively used for sea-crossing in deep water. Because the superstructure of the bridge is supported by floating substructures with pontoons, the conventional fixed piers, towers, foundations, and piles are not required. Instead, a rational mooring system can be used to strictly maintain the target position of the floating substructures against environmental loads, including winds, waves, and currents. Recently, long-span cable-supported bridges with floating towers were investigated and found to overcome the limitations of conventional cable-supported bridges, when used as sea-crossing infrastructure. To design the moorings for very large floating structures, the structural safety should be …
