  • Exploration of S-shaped nozzle design based on advanced structural functional integration

    Ranqi wolun shiyan yu yanjiu. · 2025-06-22

    articleOpen access

    <?A3B2 tlb=1.28h?>Focusing on the S-shaped nozzle component of the propulsion system for future bomber and large unmanned combat aircraft, with the goal of improving component efficiency, investigations were carried out on the rib topology optimization constrained by additive manufacturing processes, as well as structural characteristics of light weight multifunctional nozzle integration. The results show that based on the coupling conditions of force and heat, the topology optimization design o…

  • Semantic-Aware Visual Information Transmission With Key Information Extraction Over Wireless Networks

    ArXiv.org · 2025-06-15

    preprintOpen access1st authorCorresponding

    The advent of 6G networks demands unprecedented levels of intelligence, adaptability, and efficiency to address challenges such as ultra-high-speed data transmission, ultra-low latency, and massive connectivity in dynamic environments. Traditional wireless image transmission frameworks, reliant on static configurations and isolated source-channel coding, struggle to balance computational efficiency, robustness, and quality under fluctuating channel conditions. To bridge this gap, this paper prop…

  • Tunning the Formate Selectivity of α- and β-Cobalt Hydroxide in Electrochemical Glycerol Oxidation

    ECS Meeting Abstracts · 2025-11-24

    articleSenior author

    The alcohol oxidation reaction offers a compelling alternative to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for enhancing energy efficiency of green hydrogen electrolyzers 1 . Glycerol, an inexpensive and widely available byproduct of biodiesel production, has emerged as a promising feedstock to replace OER at the anode. Recent studies have demonstrated the efficacy of cobalt-based catalysts, including cobalt oxide and (oxy)hydroxide, in producing a diverse range single- and multi-carbon products and…
