Design of Quality Gain-Loss Function with the Cubic Term Consideration for Larger-the-Better Characteristic and Smaller-the-Better Characteristic

Mathematics
This research was based on the loss relationship diagrams of the linear term, quadratic term, and the cubic term losses in the quality gain–loss function (QGLF) for the larger-the-better characteristic (LBC) and the smaller-the-better characteristic (SBC)

Two-piece Cubic Spline Functions

Mapana - Journal of Sciences, 2003
.M Prenter defines a cubic Spline function in an interval [a, b] as a piecewise cubic polynomial which is twice continuously differentiable in the entire interval [a, b]. The smooth cubic spline functions fitting the given data are the most popular spline functions and when used for interpolation, they do not have the oscillatory behavior which ...

Slight Truncation Changes in Iron Oxide Nanocubes Strongly Affect Their Magnetic Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Subtle variations in nanoparticle morphology can lead to significant changes in functional properties. An automated shape‐fitting method captures minor differences in corner truncation between iron oxide nanocubes of similar sizes synthesized under identical conditions, revealing pronounced disparities in their magnetic and hyperthermia behavior ...

Cubic spline functions revisited

In this paper a fourth order asymptotically optimal error bound for a new cubic interpolating spline function, denoted by Q-spline, is derived for the case that only function values at given points are used but not any derivative information. The bound seems to be stronger than earlier error bounds for cubic spline interpolation in such setting such as

Tuning the Selectivity of the CO2 Reduction Reaction by Means of Synergistic Interactions in the Cu, Ag, Ce System

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multi‐metal Cu─Ce─Ag nanoparticles harness synergistic interactions to drive efficient electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction toward C2+ products at high current densities. Ag enhances CO production, Ce modulates Cu oxidation states, and together they boost *CO coverage and local pH to enhance C─C coupling, enabling record C2+ yields with suppressed ...

Predicting Atomic Charges in MOFs by Topological Charge Equilibration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An atomic charge prediction method is presented that is able to accurately reproduce ab‐initio‐derived reference charges for a large number of metal–organic frameworks. Based on a topological charge equilibration scheme, static charges that fulfill overall neutrality are quickly generated.
