Strain-restricted transfer of ferromagnetic electrodes for constructing reproducibly superior-quality spintronic devices (2014)
Journal Article

Spintronic device is the fundamental platform for spin-related academic and practical studies. However, conventional techniques with energetic deposition or boorish transfer of ferromagnetic metal inevitably introduce uncontrollable damage and undesi...

A comparison of dilute acid- and alkali-catalyzed hydrothermal pretreatments for bioethanol production from brewers' spent grains (2014)
Journal Article

Acid- or alkali-catalyzed hydrothermal (121°C, 30 min) processing of brewers' spent grains were evaluated as pretreatments for subsequent bioethanol production. At 1% (w/v), HCl was the most effective acid and NaOH the most effective alkali pretreatm...
