The first product in the Newton family operates under severe constraints in the areas of performance, cost, heat dissipation, power consumption, scalability, size and weight. This talk gives an overview of the Newton MessagePad system hardware, and focuses on the techniques and tradeoffs used to overcome these constraints. In particular, synergetic migration of functions from hardware to softwa...

The possibility of application ERS-2 SAR for monitoring of Russian European tundra ecosystem components was investigated. The synergetic using of SAR with Landsat data can be widely used for investigation and mapping of tundra vegetation, soils, for the ecosystem monitoring of anthropogenic effects.

Cellulose/KI is a very active, selective, stable, and recyclable catalyst for the cycloaddition reactions of CO(2) and epoxides due to the excellent synergetic effect of cellulose and KI. It is found that the hydroxyl groups on the vicinal carbons of cellulose play a key role for the very high efficiency of the catalyst.

A class of novel nickel cobalt oxide hollow nanosponges were synthesized through a sodium borohydride reduction strategy. Due to their porous and hollow nanostructures, and synergetic effects between their components, the optimized nickel cobalt oxide nanosponges exhibited excellent catalytic activity towards oxygen evolution reaction.

Distribution coefficients of acetic acid between aqueous phase and solvents (water-C6-C10 alcohols, butyl acetate, ether and benzene) were studied. Synergetic effect was obtained for alcohol and ester systems. A slightly positive deviation was obtained for benzene–ester mixtures. The best distribution coefficient was obtained for hexanol-butyl acetate systems. The coefficients of Redlisch-Kiste...

An automatic Facial Expression Recognition (FER) model with Adaboost face detector, feature selection based on manifold learning and synergetic prototype based classifier has been proposed. Improved feature selection method and proposed classifier can achieve favorable effectiveness to performance FER in reasonable processing time.

A novel polymer donor (PBDTS-Se) is designed to match with a non-fullerene acceptor (SdiPBI-S). The corresponding solar cells show a high efficiency of 8.22%, which result from synergetic improvements of light harvesting, charge carrier transport and collection, and morphology. The results indicate that rational design of novel donor materials is important for non-fullerene organic solar cells.

Hierarchical 3D TiO2@Fe2O3 nanoframework arrays grown on a Ti substrate are synthesized via a facile hydrothermal reaction. As the synergetic effect of this hybrid material, the TiO2@Fe2O3 electrode shows superior rate capability and cycling performance to bare TiO2 and Fe2O3 electrodes.

ZnO platforms were evaluated for designing a high-performance anticancer drug (daunorubicin) carrier. Hollow structured ZnO, compared with nanorods, acts as a multi-purpose entity by serving as smart carriers and exhibiting synergetic photodynamic cytotoxic effects, which are ascribed to their high-specific surface area, hollow interior, pH-responsiveness and inherent photodynamism.
