In this paper, we study the Igusa’s local zeta functions of a class of hybrid polynomials with coefficients in a non-archimedean local field of positive characteristic. Such class of hybrid polynomial was first introduced by Hauser in 2003 to study the resolution of singularities in positive characteristic. We prove the rationality of these local zeta functions and describe explicitly their pol...

Graphene oxide (GO) has been demonstrated as a nanostructure growth-directing template for the synthesis of fusiform zirconia nanostructures on GO planes. The obtained fusiform zirconia-GO hybrid composites (FZGO) have good dispersion ability and show highly selective capture of phosphopeptides from complex peptide mixtures.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (OIHP) solar cells have achieved comparable efficiencies to those of commercial solar cells, although their instability hinders their commercialization. Although encapsulation techniques have been developed to protect OIHP solar cells from external stimuli such as moisture, oxygen, and ultraviolet light, understanding of the origin of the intrinsic instabilit...

Cryptography techniques play an important role in modern world. The purpose of such techniques is to ensure the contents being unreadable to anyone except for parties who agreed to use some specific scheme. Moreover, current cryptography techniques provide more sophisticated services, such as message integrity, authentication, time stamping, and many others. There are two main approaches for cr...

This paper proposes a new investigation on Gaussian mixture model (GMM) by comparing it with some preliminary experiments on multilayered perceptron network (MLP) with backpropagation learning algorithm (BKP) and dynamic time warping (DTW) techniques on Thai text-dependent speaker identification system. Three major identification engines are conducted on 50 speakers with isolated digits 0-9. Tr...

Simultaneous EEG/fMRI recordings offer a unique approach of characterizing epileptic brain activity. The combination of high temporal resolution of EEG recordings and high spatial resolution of fMRI add to enhance the localization of rapidly fluctuating epileptic sources in the brain parenchyma. Scalp EEG/fMRI is a non-invasive, safe and reproducible brain imaging technique and is increasingly ...

As a revolutionary three-dimensional imaging technique, holography has attracted wide attention for its ability to photographically record a light field. However, traditional phase-only or amplitude-only modulation holograms have limited image quality and resolution to reappear both amplitude and phase information required of the objects. Recent advances in metasurfaces have shown tremendous op...

The radiographic image is the bidimensional projection of a tridimensional volume. Interpretation of such an image is sometimes uneasy as we cannot determine ot which level the shadows are located. To dissociate the superimposed shadows, the radiologist may rely on different techniques including fluoroscopy, profile view, radiosteoroscopy, conventional tomography, transverse axial tomography or...

Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE), designed in wearable and implantable configurations, have enormous applications in advanced healthcare, rapid disease diagnostics, and persistent human-machine interfaces. Soft, contoured geometries and time-dynamic deformation of the targeted tissues require high flexibility and stretchability of the integrated bioelectronics. Recent progress in developing an...

Hybrid SU (2)×U (1) models are the models in which SU (2)×U (1) symmetry is broken down not only spontaneously (as in the Standard Model), but also explicitely by adding a hard mass term for the U (1) field in the lagrangian. We study the issue of electric charge nonconservation and dequantization in these models. For this purpose we construct and analyze a series of hybrid models with differen...
