Additively Manufacturable High‐Strength Aluminum Alloys with Coarsening‐Resistant Microstructures Achieved via Rapid Solidification

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rapid solidification in laser additive manufacturing facilitates the precipitation of metastable phases in aluminum alloys. These metastable phases significantly enhance the strength by forming a high‐volume fraction of precipitates with an order of magnitude reduced sizes and smaller interspacing, effectively impeding dislocation motion. Consequestly,

A picture is worth a thousand words: Portraying language learning experiences in a bilingual school in Honduras

Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal, 2017
This qualitative study explored the experience of students learning English in an early partial one-way immersion program in Honduras. While immersion research is well-established in various parts of the world, scarce research has focused on programs in ...

Using Bayesian Optimization to Increase the Efficiency of III‐V Multijunction Solar Cells

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) modeling is crucial for designing complex optoelectronic devices like III‐V multijunction solar cells. Bayesian optimization is proposed as a robust method to address challenges in optimizing costly black‐box TCAD solvers.

Coccidioidomycosis in Latin America

Medical Mycology, 2019
Coccidioidomycosis is a highly prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America and has been reported (human and zoonotic cases) in México, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Argentina. The incidence of coccidioidomycosis in Latin America is unknown due to lack of clinical awareness and limited access to laboratory ...

ReRAM/CMOS Array Integration and Characterization via Design of Experiments

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This paper proposes the Design of Experiments to characterize arrays of oxide‐based ReRAM devices by exploring the large characterization space efficiently using only a few numbers of experiments. Using in‐house integration of 20 000 ReRAM devices on a CMOS chip, the unconventional optimization approach determines optimized measurement parameters and ...
