A narrowband ultrasonic ranging method for multiple moving sensor nodes by Ashhar, Karalikkadan, Md. Noor-A-Rahim, Mohammad Omar Khyam, Soh, Cheong Boon

“…Existing methods for Doppler correction employ a bank of matched filters at the receiver end which is computationally intense and complex. On the other hand, enabling multiple access for the ultrasonic localization systems is a challenging task due to multiple access interference. …”

Mixing characteristics of inclined dense jets with different nozzle geometries by Jiang, Mingtao, Law, Adrian Wing-Keung, Song, Jie

“…The results showed that the circular, square and diamond nozzle geometries have similar behavior, implying that the differences of their discharge length scale are not sufficiently large to induce a significant effect. On the other hand, the duckbill and star nozzle geometries have relatively higher dilutions both at the centreline peak and return points. …”

Semiconductor oxide for gas sensing applications by Ang, Wan Chia

“…Next, the effect of annealing temperature on thin film grain size and crystallization was studied using XRD and the optimum annealing temperature was chosen for gas sensing device fabrication. On the other hand, STF02 composite films were obtained by dispersing the STF02 nanoparticles in STF02 sol-gel solutions. …”

Flood inundation modeling under stochastic uncertainty by Sun, He.

“…Moreover, it was indicated that the generalized extreme value distribution was the best stochastic distribution for the channel roughness coefficient. On the other hand, the predicted water depths at the 10 river observation points, with an equal spacing along the channel longitudinal distance, satisfied the generalized extreme value distribution for Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF). …”

Design of slender concrete column using chinese design code GB50010-2010 by Chen, Qiaofen

“…GB50010-2010 is found to be unconservative under certain conditions, such as being subjected to high eccentricity, high slenderness etc. On the other hand, those columns having initial eccentricity less than the minimum eccentricity prescribed in this code are not recommended to be designed by GB50010-2010 due to its over prediction. …”

Development of localization algorithms for a WiFi based indoor positioning system with machine learning techniques by Lu, Xiaoxuan

“…A large body of WiFi-fingerprinting based indoor localization solutions emerge as WiFi is accessible for users and cost-efficient for developers. On the other hand, it has been demonstrated in literature that machine learning techniques can be applied to IPSs yielding satisfactory localization results in real-time. …”

The effect of mixed carbon source on enhanced biological phosphorus removal in tropical climate by Cai, Xueyun

“…At high temperature, P-uptake rate was observed to be higher and able to attain a lower P-concentration at the end of aerobic phase than low temperature. On the other hand, PHA synthesis from the carbon sources was also discussed. …”

A study on the productivity evaluation of building information modelling (BIM) based prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction (PPVC) project by Fernandez, Priscilla Crystal

“…As part of a process, BIM carries the project modelling further via BIM supported methodologies which will aid in other areas of construction management such as construction cost control and facilities management. PPVC, on the other hand is a type of modular construction. Modules are first manufactured offsite then transported to the site for installation. …”

Evaporation of sessile saline droplet with surfactant on silicon wafer substrate by Yap, Ming Sheng

“…From 0.2mM to 0.8mM CTAB concentration, the evaporation process demonstrated CCR mode with the contact diameter at CCR and evaporation rate increases with higher CTAB concentration. On the other hand, at very low CTAB concentration, the evaporation process for 0.04mM CTAB undergoes a transition from mixed mode to constant contact angle (CCA) mode. …”

Towards compressed sensing for ground-to-air monostatic radar by Dauwels, Justin, Kannan, Srinivasan

“…We provide numerical results for both scenarios, and demonstrate that a proportional reduction in reconstruction error is obtained if coherent integration is carried out before CS reconstruction, corresponding to an effective gain of SNRg = 10 log10 N. On the other hand, when coherent integration is performed after applying CS reconstruction to single pulse radar returns, there is negligible gain. …”

Efficient generation of an array of single silicon-vacancy defects in silicon carbide by Wang, Junfeng, Zhou, Yu, Zhang, Xiaoming, Liu, Fucai, Li, Yan, Li, Ke, Liu, Zheng, Wang, Guanzhong, Gao, Weibo

“…This method serves as a critical step in integrating single VSi defect emitters with photonic structures, which, in turn, can improve the emission and collection efficiency of VSi defects when they are used in a spin photonic quantum network. On the other hand, the defects are shallow, and they are generated about 40 nm below the surface which can serve as a critical resource in quantum-sensing applications.…”

Exploring the influence of haptic and olfactory cues of a virtual donut on satiation and eating behavior by Li, Benjamin Junting, Bailenson, Jeremy N.

“…Studies based on situational cues or self-perception theory provide support for the hypothesis that touching and smelling a virtual food item may lead to increased consumption as a result of modeling expected behavior. On the other hand, studies grounded in embodied cognition suggest that satiation may take place as a result of mental simulation that resembles actual consumption behavior. …”
