Two-dimensional (2D) Janus materials have potential applications in next-generation nanoelectronics and energy conversion devices. In this work, we mainly studied the electronic, photocatalytic and piezoelectric properties of 2D metal-free B2XY (X, Y=S, Se, Te; X≠Y) monolayers with first...

The Nd doped LaB6 and La doped NdB6 was successfully synthesized from La2O3–B2O3–Mg blends by mechanochemical method. The Nd doped affects on crystal structure and electronic features were studied employing DFT. The high-energy ball milling carried out the synthesis reaction. The process...

AI technologies can improve upon the current system of merger notification and review. Predictive technologies—such as supervised machine learning—combined with unprecedented growth in data will provide antitrust agencies with the opportunity to better refine the law and the review process....

Autonomous surveillance finds its application in many fields. It is a critical requirement for any search and rescue scenario under an emergency or radiation leak. The authorities may not want to send a human in such scenarios as it can be catastrophic. An Unmanned aerial vehicle can detect...

By dint of FP-LAPW method employed in DFT technique, the mechanical stability, electronic behaviour, optical response and thermoelectric behaviour of Thallium based halide perovskites TlPbX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I) have been theoretically investigated. The energy volume optimisationcurves as well as...

The purpose of the research reported in this article is to establish a structural explanation of physical phenomena observed or experimented on natural neural networks and especially on the brain. A simplified model based on double stochasticity properties, concentrates on the synaptic structure...

Quantum computing allows a significant speed-up over traditional CPU- and GPU-based algorithms when applied to particular mathematical challenges such as optimisation and simulation. Despite promising advances and extensive research in hard- and software developments, currently available quantum...

This paper investigates how technology affects mortgage foreclosure markets. Exploiting the staggered adoption of electronic bidding across adjoined Florida’s counties, I show that foreclosure auction success increases by 27%, and price discounts shrink by 42%. The effects are the largest in...

At present, many video editing software have been created, but what they all have in common is that they require manual work to edit. And it takes a lot of time and the user needs to watch each frame before editing. In this paper, we have developed a program about AI intelligence. The most...

We run experiments of first-price auctions with two groups, by which we directly detect the presence of bidders' loss aversion. Each human bidder bids against three pre-programmed computer bidders -- computers independently draw their values from the uniform distribution and bid their values in...
