Ionic Liquid Engineering in Perovskite Photovoltaics by Li, Liang

“…Among other important details, debate surrounding their proneness to surface degradation and poor mechanical robustness, as well as the environmental footprint of this materials class remains a moot point. The application of ionic liquids appears as one of the potential remedies to some of these challenges due to their high conductivity, the opportunities for chemical ‘tuning’ of the structure, and relatively lower environmental footprint. …”

Frost Growth on Vertical Surfaces with Varying Wettability by El Cheikh, Amne

“…Frosting occurs on heat exchangers in heat pumping and refrigeration applications when the surface temperature of the heat exchanger is below the freezing point of water. The accumulation of frost on the heat transfer surface increases pressure drop (fan power) and decreases heat transfer, because the frost layer has a low thermal conductivity much lower than that of the heat exchanger material, and it blocks the air flow. …”

On the effects of user ratings on the profitability of cloud services by Taghavi, Mona

“…The results show that improvement in ratings is mostly profitable for highly rated providers. The surprising point is that providers having low ratings do not get much benefit from increasing their average ratings, meanwhile, they can perform well when they lower the service price.…”

Optimized group owner selection in WiFi direct networks by Jahed, K.

“…The relatively new WiFi-Direct standard allows devices to communicate directly over the well established IEEE 802.11 protocol without the need for an intermediate access point. The increased range and bandwidth advantage of WiFi-Direct over existing short-range technologies such as Bluetooth and Zigbee allows a whole new class of applications to benefit from cooperation. …”
