04 Apr 2020TL;DR: In this paper, a non-local social pooling layer enables PECNet to infer diverse yet socially compliant trajectories, which improves diversity and multi-modal trajectory prediction performance.
Abstract: Human trajectory forecasting with multiple socially interacting agents is of critical importance for autonomous navigation in human environments, e.g., for self-driving cars and social robots. In this work, we present Predicted Endpoint Conditioned Network (PECNet) for flexible human trajectory prediction. PECNet infers distant trajectory endpoints to assist in long-range multi-modal trajectory prediction. A novel non-local social pooling layer enables PECNet to infer diverse yet socially compliant trajectories. Additionally, we present a simple “truncation-trick” for improving diversity and multi-modal trajectory prediction performance. We show that PECNet improves state-of-the-art performance on the Stanford Drone trajectory prediction benchmark by \({\sim }20.9\%\) and on the ETH/UCY benchmark by \({\sim }40.8\%\) (Code available at project homepage: https://karttikeya.github.io/publication/htf/).

TL;DR: Sequence analysis revealed that each mutant contained a few amino acid substitutions and that the mutation of Phe-77, which is located on the fifth amino acid upstream from the first aspartate-rich consensus motif, is the most effective for elongating the ultimate product.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the potential of PMOs as a light-harvesting antenna for designing various photoreaction systems, mimicking the natural photosynthesis.
Abstract: This paper describes a new conceptual design for enhancement of photocatalytic CO2 reduction of a rhenium(I) complex by light harvesting of periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO). Mesoporous biphenyl-silica (Bp-PMO) anchoring fac-[ReI(bpy)(CO)3(PPh3)]+(OTf)− (bpy =2,2′-bipyridine; OTf = CF3SO3) in the mesochannels was synthesized by co-condensation of two organosilane precursors, 4,4′-bis(triethoxysilyl)biphenyl and 4-[4-{3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylsulfanyl}butyl]-4′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine in the presence of a template surfactant, followed by coordination of a rhenium precursor, [ReI(CO)5(PPh3)]+(OTf)− to the bipyridine ligand in the mesochannels. The 280 nm light was effectively absorbed by the biphenyl groups in Bp-PMO, and the excited energy was funneled into the Re complex by resonance energy transfer, which enhanced photocatalytic CO evolution from CO2 by a factor of 4.4 compared with direct excitation of the Re complex. Bp-PMO had an additional merit to protect the Re complex against a decomposition b...

TL;DR: A newly developed three-dimensional (3D) finite element head-neck model was presented in order to investigate the biomechanical responses of the brain-spinal cord complex to find the relationship between the restraint conditions and CNS injuries.
Abstract: Injuries of the human brain and spinal cord associated with the central nervous system (CNS) are seen in automotive accidents. CNS injuries are generally categorized into severe injuries (AIS 3+). However, it is not clear how the restraint conditions affect the CNS injuries. This paper presents a newly developed three-dimensional (3D) finite element head-neck model in order to investigate the biomechanical responses of the brain-spinal cord complex. The head model consists of the scalp, skull, and a detailed description of the brain including the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem with distinct white and gray matter, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), sagittal sinus, dura, pia, arachnoid, meninx, falx cerebri, and tentorium. Additionally, the neck model consists of the cervical vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs, muscles, ligaments, spinal cord with white and gray matter, cervical pia, and CSF. The two models were linked together to construct a finite element (FE) model of the brain-spinal cord complex. The material stiffness and failure properties of porcine cervical pia mater were measured from uniaxial tensile tests with various strain rates at Yamaguchi University. The head-neck model was validated against three sets of brain test data obtained by Nahum et al. (1977), Trosseille et al. (1992), and Hardy et al. (2001) and two sets of neck test data obtained from Thunnissen et al. (1995) and Pintar et al. (1995). Additionally, a series of parametric studies were conducted to investigate the effects of restraint conditions on CNS injuries. The injury criteria for brain injuries were based on Cumulative Strain Damage Measure, while those for spinal cord injuries were based on the ultimate strains of the spinal cord and pia mater. It was found that the brain-spinal cord model was useful to investigate the relationship between the restraint conditions and CNS injuries.

TL;DR: This work utilizes TEM, EDS, and EELS in addition to soft-XAS to determine electrochemical magnesiation mechanism of a high-energy density cathode, K-αMnO2, and proposes the gradual reduction of K-βO2 to form Mn2O3 then MnO at the interface of the cathode and electrolyte.
Abstract: Batteries based on magnesium are an interesting alternative to current state-of-the-art lithium-ion systems; however, high-energy-density cathodes are needed for further development. Here we utilize TEM, EDS, and EELS in addition to soft-XAS to determine electrochemical magnesiation mechanism of a high-energy density cathode, K-αMnO2. Rather than following the typical insertion mechanism similar to Li+, we propose the gradual reduction of K-αMnO2 to form Mn2O3 then MnO at the interface of the cathode and electrolyte, finally resulting in the formation of K-αMnO2@(Mg,Mn)O core–shell product after discharge of the battery. Understanding the mechanism is a vital guide for future magnesium battery cathodes.
