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...

Inertial-visual pose tracking using optical flow-aided particle filtering (2014)
Conference Proceeding

This paper proposes an algorithm for visual-inertial camera pose tracking, using adaptive recursive particle filtering. The method benefits from the agility of inertial-based and robustness of vision-based tracking. A proposal distribution has been d...

Dynamic portfolio optimization with transaction costs and state-dependent drift (2014)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. The problem of dynamic portfolio choice with transaction costs is often addressed by constructing a Markov Chain approximation of the continuous time price processes. Using this approximation, we present an e... Read More about Dynamic portfolio optimization with transaction costs and state-dependent drift.

Configurations of capacity for change in entrepreneurial threshold firms: imprinting and strategic choice perspectives (2014)
Journal Article

Imprinting theory suggests that founding conditions are 'stamped' on organizations, and these imprinted routines often resist change. In contrast, strategic choice theory suggests that the firm can overcome organizational inertia and deliberately cho...
