Aging-resistant breakdown performance of polypropylene nanodielectrics. by Azmi, Aizat, Lau, Kwan Yiew, Tan, Chee Wei, Ayop, Razman, Kuan, Yong Ching, Alun Vaughan, Alun Vaughan

“…In contrast, all the nanodielectrics experience much less detrimental effects on the breakdown performance even after thermo-oxidative aging, with the most substantial reduction being almost half that of the pure PP. Possible mechanisms governing changes in the breakdown performance, especially under thermo-oxidative aging, are discussed. …”

Hybrid-duplex communications for multi-UAV networks : an outage probability analysis by Tan, Ernest Zheng Hui, Madhukumar, A. S., Sirigina, Rajendra Prasad, Krishna, Anoop Kumar

“…We demonstrate that the HBD UAV communication system (HBD-UCS) can concurrently support more UAVs while achieving higher reliability than the half-duplex (HD) UCS (HD-UCS). Specifically, at low transmit power regimes, it is shown that the HBD-UCS attains lower uplink and downlink outage probability than an HD-UCS, as the UAV operating altitude is increased.…”

Surface modification of TiO2 nanostructures for visible light photocatalyst by Chen, Jia.

“…It was shown that TiO2 exhibits photo catalytic behaviour under UV light, but UV light merely takes up about 4% of the sunlight, but visible light takes up around half. Hence, extension of the absorption spectrum for TiO2 after surface modification is one key parameters of our interest. …”

Astley's Amphitheatre and the early circus in England, 1768-1830 by Kwint, M

“…Subsequent investigations are made into a social and economic life which is belied by the circus’ later image of separatism; and Astley's early struggles with the law and, to a lesser extent, respectability. The second half is devoted to Astleian spectacle: firstly the key role of its overall presentation and marketing in the development of graphic design, theatre architecture and stagecraft; secondly its various ingredients from ‘high,’ ‘low’ and possibly archaic cultures; and thirdly the generally conservative and imperialistic view of the geographical, political and natural world that Astley's communicated with its socially wide-ranging audiences.…”
