Computation fluid dynamics on drag reduction II by Zang, Bin

“…In this project, a number of Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) models are verified with benchmark values of Direct Numerical Solutions (DNS) provided by the past research to identify appropriate RANS models which allow the simulation of dimpled flow with specific Reynolds number and initial conditions in a 3D channel. …”

Study of degradation mechanisms in SiON gate dielectric film subjected to negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) stress by Kang, Chun Wei.

“…UFS method with 100ns delay per measurement point which is the fastest NBTI measurement to-date, Slow measurement with 40µs delay per measurement point and DC measurement with the slowest 5s delay per cycle are used together with 2 different characterization machines to prove that Recoverable component (R) observed during dynamic NBTI exhibits a repeatable trend and is independent of device gate length and oxide thickness under nominal DNBTI condition. Although there are numerous research on NBTI, Reaction-Diffusion model (R-D model) that was used to explain NBTI mechanism previously is shown to be unable to explain the entire picture of NBTI especially from dynamic experiment point of view. …”

Fatigue analysis of steel catenary risers at the touchdown point by Feng, Zi Li

“…Subsequently, a measured three-dimensional scour profile was incorporated in the numerical simulation. The maximum fatigue damage is found to be diminished while the damage curve around the TDP is erratic, compared to the scenario with a flat seabed.…”

Signature methods in machine learning by Lyons, T, McLeod, A

“…These insights can be quite naturally translated into numerical approaches to understanding streamed data, and perhaps because of their mathematical precision, have proved useful in analysing streamed data in situations where the data is irregular, and not stationary, and the dimension of the data and the sample sizes are both moderate.…”

The moral formation of the intellectual appetite in Hugh of St. Victor, Philip Melanchthon, and John Henry Newman by Williams, B

“…John Henry Newman was a fellow at nineteenth century Oriel College, Oxford, founding rector of the Catholic University of Dublin and the Oratory School in Birmingham, and author of three volumes and numerous essays on university education. </p> <p>This thesis offers an integrated account of each educator's ideas and practices, synthesizes their major and minor works, compares and contrasts them with each other, and places them in dialogue with contemporary educational philosophers Martha Nussbaum and Stanley Fish. …”

Strain rate, temperature, and their coupled effects on the deformation process of four polycarbonates and a short glass fibre reinforced polycarbonate composite by Song, P

“…In large strain tensile tests, it was shown that using only a global force-displacement curve to validate the constitutive parameters of the numerical model is insufficient because the test describes not only the material constitutive behaviour but also the structural response. …”

Ti3C2TX encapsulation of CTAB-functionalized polypyrrole nanospheres towards pseudocapacitive intensification in supercapacitors by Poh, Wen Siong, Hoo, Do Yee, Zheng, Sheng Qiang, Ong, Wee-Jun, Khiew, Poi Sim, Lim, Hong Ngee, Foo, Chuan Yi

“…Herein, polypyrrole (PPy) was synthesized into nanospheres (PPy NS) to improve bulk ion transport kinetics. However, numerous interfaces generated by nanospherical structure induce high nanocontact resistance, resulting in low specific capacitance. …”
