Human-Machine Collaborative Remote Sensing and Visual Analytics for Asset Assessment
Degradation in various engineering systems is inevitable, and numerous automated technologies have been proposed to enable predictive maintenance and prevent sudden failures. Despite recent advances, automation of these real-world tasks has been limited thus far. This is partly due to the variety of data and...

Ceria: multifunctional catalytic material in non-reductive CO2 conversion and H2-driven deoxydehydration
Ceria is an essential component in the heterogeneous catalysis for non-reductive CO2 conversion and rhenium-catalyzed deoxydehydration (DODH). Ceria is an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the reactions such as alcohols+CO2, amines+CO2, and alcohols+amines+CO2 which give corresponding organic carbonates [1], urea derivatives [2], and carbamates [3]. When the...
Mechanochemistry for sustainable applications
Conventional reactions are mostly driven by heat, light, and electricity to overcome activation barriers. They are named as thermochemistry, photochemistry, and electrochemistry, respectively. Likewise, chemical reactions induced by mechanical actions, such as abrasion, friction, cracking, colliding, and so on, are defined as mechanochemistry. The most...
