TL;DR: In this article, a novel way of synthesizing graphene-carbon nanotube hybrid nanostructure as an anode for lithium ion batteries was proposed, which was obtained by homogeneous mixing of chemically modified graphene and carbon nanotubes constituents.
Abstract: We report a novel way of synthesizing graphene-carbon nanotube hybrid nanostructure as an anode for lithium (Li) ion batteries. For this, graphene was prepared by the solar exfoliation of graphite oxide, while multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared by the chemical vapor deposition method. The graphene–MWNT hybrid nanostructure was synthesized by first modifying graphene surface using a cationic polyelectrolyte and MWNT surface with acid functionalization. The hybrid structure was obtained by homogeneous mixing of chemically modified graphene and MWNT constituents. This hybrid nanostructure exhibits higher specific capacity and cyclic stability. The strengthened electrostatic interaction between the positively charged surface of graphene sheets and the negatively charged surface of MWNTs prevents the restacking of graphene sheets that provides a highly accessible area and short diffusion path length for Li-ions. The higher electrical conductivity of MWNTs promotes an easier movement of the electrons within the electrode. The present synthesis scheme recommends a new pathway for large-scale production of novel hybrid carbon nanomaterials for energy storage applications and underlines the importance of preparation routes followed for synthesizing nanomaterials.

01 Jan 2006TL;DR: The issues and challenges in providing QoS for AWNs are described, a layer-wise classification of the existing QoS solutions are provided, and some of the proposed solutions are reviewed.
Abstract: An ad hoc wireless network (AWN) is a collection of mobile hosts forming a temporary network on the fly, without using any fixed infrastructure. Characteristics of AWNs such as lack of central coordination, mobility of hosts, dynamically varying network topology, and limited availability of resources make QoS provisioning very challenging in such networks. In this paper, we describe the issues and challenges in providing QoS for AWNs and review some of the QoS solutions proposed. We first provide a layer-wise classification of the existing QoS solutions, and then discuss each of these solutions.

TL;DR: Several of the top techniques compared favorably to an individual human annotator and can be used with confidence for nuclear morphometrics as well as heavy data augmentation in the MoNuSeg 2018 challenge.
Abstract: Generalized nucleus segmentation techniques can contribute greatly to reducing the time to develop and validate visual biomarkers for new digital pathology datasets. We summarize the results of MoNuSeg 2018 Challenge whose objective was to develop generalizable nuclei segmentation techniques in digital pathology. The challenge was an official satellite event of the MICCAI 2018 conference in which 32 teams with more than 80 participants from geographically diverse institutes participated. Contestants were given a training set with 30 images from seven organs with annotations of 21,623 individual nuclei. A test dataset with 14 images taken from seven organs, including two organs that did not appear in the training set was released without annotations. Entries were evaluated based on average aggregated Jaccard index (AJI) on the test set to prioritize accurate instance segmentation as opposed to mere semantic segmentation. More than half the teams that completed the challenge outperformed a previous baseline. Among the trends observed that contributed to increased accuracy were the use of color normalization as well as heavy data augmentation. Additionally, fully convolutional networks inspired by variants of U-Net, FCN, and Mask-RCNN were popularly used, typically based on ResNet or VGG base architectures. Watershed segmentation on predicted semantic segmentation maps was a popular post-processing strategy. Several of the top techniques compared favorably to an individual human annotator and can be used with confidence for nuclear morphometrics.

TL;DR: A nexus between the catalyst support and catalyst particles is believed to yield the high hydrogen uptake capacities obtained.
Abstract: A high hydrogen storage capacity for palladium decorated nitrogen-doped hydrogen exfoliated graphene nanocomposite is demonstrated under moderate temperature and pressure conditions. The nitrogen doping of hydrogen exfoliated graphene is done by nitrogen plasma treatment, and palladium nanoparticles are decorated over nitrogen-doped graphene by a modified polyol reduction technique. An increase of 66% is achieved by nitrogen doping in the hydrogen uptake capacity of hydrogen exfoliated graphene at room temperature and 2 MPa pressure. A further enhancement by 124% is attained in the hydrogen uptake capacity by palladium nanoparticle (Pd NP) decoration over nitrogen-doped graphene. The high dispersion of Pd NP over nitrogen-doped graphene sheets and strengthened interaction between the nitrogen-doped graphene sheets and Pd NP catalyze the dissociation of hydrogen molecules and subsequent migration of hydrogen atoms on the doped graphene sheets. The results of a systematic study on graphene, nitrogen-doped g...
