Passenger-centric timetable rescheduling: A user equilibrium approach

Michel Bierlaire, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Stefan Yves Gabriel Binder

Unexpected disruptions commonly occur in the railway network, causing delays, and extra cost for operators and inconvenience for passengers by missing their connection and facing overcrowded trains. This paper presents a passenger-centric approach for time ...

PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021

Superior stability and safety are key promises attributed to all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) containing solid-state electrolyte (SSE) compared to their conventional counterparts utilizing liquid electrolyte. To unleash the full potential of ASSBs, SSE ma ...

Illumination Time Dependent Learning in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

Hoi Nok Tsao

Learning through vision is an essential skill for intelligent machines. In an attempt to implement this highly complex feature at low energy cost, a dye-sensitized solar cell is proposed that learns using illumination time as a cue. Particularly, the devic ...

AMER CHEMICAL SOC2018

Nature has the ability to cope with extreme pH, temperature and pressure, in addition to bestowing a wide array of functionalities to (bio)macromolecules. These specialized skills have attracted the interest of vast scientific communities especially in vie ...

Computational Design of Deployable Auxetic Shells

Mark Pauly, Mina Konakovic Lukovic

We propose an interactive computational design method for deployable auxetic shells. We realize deployable auxetics as triangular linkages that can be actuated with simple expansive mechanisms to assume a desired freeform target shape. The core feature of ...

An Unsymmetrical, Push-Pull Porphyrazine for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

An unsymmetrical, push-pull porphyrazine derivative bearing an isoindole-4-carboxylic acid moiety (TT112) is synthesized and incorporated in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). The device, which constitutes the first example of a porphyrazine-sensitized so ...

Effect of Peripheral Substitution on the Performance of Subphthalocyanines in DSSCs

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

A series of six new subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) bearing an ethynylcarboxyphenyl anchoring unit and decorated with a variety of substituents at the peripheral position of the macrocycle have been synthesized in order to investigate the effect of the periphe ...
