Enhancing Hematite Photoanode Activity for Water Oxidation by Incorporation of Reduced Graphene Oxide
Authors: do Amaral Carminati Saulo , Souza Flavio L. , Nogueira Ana F. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractTwo effective methods to prepare reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/hematite nanostructured photoanodes and their photoelectrochemical characterization towards water splitting reactions are presented. First, graphene oxide (GO) is reduced to rGO using hydrazine in a basic solution containing tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH), and then deposited over the nanostructured hematite photoanodes previously treated at 750 °C for 30 min. The second method follows the deposition of a paste containing a mixture of hematite nanoparticles and rGO sheets by the doctor‐blade method, varying the rGO concentration. Since hematite suffers from low electron mobility, a low absorption coefficient, high recombination rates and slow reaction kinetics, the incorporation of rGO in the hematite can overcome such limitations due to graphene's exceptional properties. Using the first method, the rGO incorporation results in a photocurrent density increase from 0.56 to 0.82 mA cm−2 at 1.23 VRHE. Our results indicate that the rGO incorporation in the hematite photoanodes shows a positive effect in the reduction of the electron–hole recombination rate.
Christina Merchant and the State of Dispute System Design
Authors: Amsler Lisa Blomgren , Martinez Janet K. , Smith Stephanie E. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractChristina Merchant made an important contribution to the field of dispute resolution through her teaching, writing, and training on dispute system design. Using principles of organization development, she brought a new organizational lens to thinking about dispute system design (DSD) beyond collective bargaining and grievance procedures; she looked at the whole organization, its many sources of, causes for, and ways to address conflict. With Cathy Costantino, her 1996 book provided a unique and influential resource for a field that has continued to grow. The field would benefit from broadening the academic literature that informs systems for managing conflict. Zooming out to the organization's nested institutional contexts, the work of Elinor Ostrom in political science and political economy provides the tools of institutional analysis for DSD. She also laid the groundwork for thinking about DSD in relation to governance, not only at the local but also at the state, regional, national, and international levels. By applying a more comprehensive analytic framework to DSD, conflict resolvers with DSD skills and expertise are poised to make important differences in emerging global systems for addressing conflict upstream in policy development, midstream in its implementation, and downstream in enforcement.
GaMe‐PLive: a new game theoretic mechanism for P2P live video streaming
Authors: Mahini Hamidreza , Dehghan Mehdi , Navidi Hamidreza , Masoud Rahmani Amir 
Published: November 2015

SummaryGaMe‐PLive is a game theoretical framework for peer‐to‐peer live video streaming. Prevention of free‐riding and minimization of loss rate in video data transmission are the important objectives of the proposed framework. GaMe‐PLive is also extremely evasive about overhead of extra control messages exchange. At first, a static game with complete information between peers is described, which models the peer's interactive decision process for acceptance/rejection of a video chunk request. All peers repeatedly play this game during video playback periodically. Afterwards, the proposed game is analyzed to obtain a Nash equilibrium, which determines a peer's best strategic response for participation in the video chunk distribution. It will be proved that by applying some simple and feasible conditions, the desired objectives can be reached. The experimental results reveal that the proposed system has been successful in detecting free‐riders with negligible false negative and false positive rate. Also, tolerable loss chunk percentage has been satisfied in all performed tests. Besides, an interesting social norm emerges in GaMe‐PLive: Less participation leads to more missing chunks. GaMe‐PLive will be proven to be quite resistant against cheating peers. The proposed framework displays high performance even if there is not a video server with high upload bandwidth.

Design and experimental execution of a microcontroller (μC)‐based smart dual‐axis automatic solar tracking system
Authors: Das Soumya , Chakraborty Suprava , Sadhu Pradip K. , Sastry Oruganti Sankara 
Published: November 2015

AbstractDetail analysis of microcontroller (μC)‐based smart dual‐axis automatic solar tracking system utilizable for different purpose is presented in this paper. Working of the proposed smart tracking system is based on the automatic rotation of photovoltaic (PV) panel depending on the intensity of sun light. It will help in maintaining the alignment of PV panels with the Sunlight to obtain maximum solar power at any instance. Intensity of sunlight on a particular alignment of solar PV panel varies throughout the day. As the intensity of light on PV panel decreases the proposed smart tracking system has the intelligence to automatically redirect the panel alignment to get maximum intensity of light. Four Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) sensors are placed on the surface of the PV panel to detect the intensity of light. Two servomotors are employed in the back side of PV panel system to align the panel with maximum luminous intensity. Design and construction of the proposed tracking system is presented to measure the efficiency over the fixed PV panel. Experimental results indicate that the power output of the PV system, using the proposed tracking system is increased up to 19.73% compare to the traditional fixed PV panel. The efficiency of the proposed design is considerably higher and comparable to the existing design which has the average efficiency around 12–15%.
Pressure‐stabilized maximum‐entropy methods for incompressible Stokes
Authors: Nissen K. , Wall W. A. 
Published: November 2015

SummaryWe present a parameter‐free stable maximum‐entropy method for incompressible Stokes flow. Derived from a least‐biased optimization inspired by information theory, the meshfree maximum‐entropy method appears as an interesting alternative to classical approximation schemes like the finite element method. Especially compared with other meshfree methods, e.g. the moving least‐squares method, it allows for a straightforward imposition of boundary conditions. However, no Eulerian approach has yet been presented for real incompressible flow, encountering the convective and pressure instabilities. In this paper, we exclusively address the pressure instabilities caused by the mixed velocity‐pressure formulation of incompressible Stokes flow. In a preparatory discussion, existing stable and stabilized methods are investigated and evaluated. This is used to develop different approaches towards a stable maximum‐entropy formulation. We show results for two analytical tests, including a presentation of the convergence behavior. As a typical benchmark problem, results are also shown for the leaky lid‐driven cavity. The already presented information‐flux method for convection‐dominated problems in mind, we see this as the last step towards a maximum‐entropy method capable of simulating full incompressible flow problems.
