The SUMMA Platform Prototype

Hervé Bourlard, Andrei Popescu-Belis, Philip Neil Garner, Nikolaos Pappas, Sibo Tong, Yang Wang, Ahmed Ali, Steve Renals, Lesly Sadiht Miculicich Werlen, Marco Damonte

We present the first prototype of the SUMMA Platform: an integrated platform for multilingual media monitoring. The platform contains a rich suite of low-level and high-level natural language processing technologies: automatic speech recognition of broadca ...

Organocatalytic Nucleophilic Addition of Hydrazones to Imines: Synthesis of Enantioenriched Vicinal Diamines

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Yang Wang

In the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral phosphoric acid, nucleophilic addition of N-monosubstituted hydrazones to N-Boc imines affords differentially protected vicinal diamines in the form of b-amino N,N’-dialkyldiazenes in excellent yields with hi ...

Chiral Phosphoric Acid-Catalyzed Enantioselective Formal [3+2] Cycloaddition of Azomethine Imines with Enecarbamates

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Yang Wang

The first catalytic asymmetric inverse electron demand 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine imines with enecarbamates has been developed. Isoquinolinefused pyrazolidines containing two or three contiguous stereogenic centers were obtained in high yields ...

A scalable and inexpensive surface-texturization method for advanced transparent front electrodes in microcrystalline and micromorph thin film silicon solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Julien Claude Bailat, Yang Wang, Nils Linus Löfgren

As the thin film silicon solar cell technology reaches a pivotal point to keep competing in the photovoltaic industry where crystalline silicon and other technologies currently dominate, it has become an urgent task to revolutionize some of its state-of-th ...

Ultrafast nonadiabatic fragmentation dynamics of biomolecules

Ivano Tavernelli, Pablo Lopez Tarifa, Yang Wang

Fragmentation of doubly charged biomolecules, uracil and amino acids, has been investigated using different ab inito Molecular Dynamics Methods. Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory Molecular Dynamics give a description of the non-adiabatic effects, th ...

Charge-transfer-induced structural rearrangements at both sides of organic/metal interfaces

Klaus Kern, Yang Wang, Tzu-Chun Tseng, Alexander Langner

Organic/metal interfaces control the performance of many optoelectronic organic devices, including organic light-emitting diodes or field-effect transistors. Using scanning tunnelling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, X-ray photoemission spectro ...

Efficient point location via subdivision walking with application to explicit MPC

Colin Neil Jones, Yang Wang

An explicit (or closed-form) solution to Model Predictive Control (MPC) results in a polyhedral subdivision of the state-space when the system and constraints are linear, and the cost is linear or quadratic. Within each region the optimal control law is an ...
