Essays on merchant-generated contents and merchant-to-merchant spillovers in e-commerce platform by Zhang, Xueli

“…A larger difference between these two types of images reflects a larger difference between the expected and real product quality, resulting in a high return rate. Specifically, first, I use well-established image-processing techniques to extract basic image attributes, such as entropy, cool color ratio, lightness, and saturation, which are defined as “shallow features”. …”

Conditional prosociality in development: deconstructing social and materialistic factors that modulate early prosocial behavior by Lee, Kristy Jia Jin

“…Yet as we marvel at these precocious displays of virtue, it is imperative to recognize the constraints on early prosociality, specifically that (i) self-interested concerns often underlie prosocial behavior and (ii) opposing considerations about self-interest may sometimes outcompete prosocial tendencies. …”

mmWave 5G and SOTM system test automation and over the air testing (OTA) by Roy, Sanjucta

“…Since some algorithms are pre-existing, they have been optimized for re-use and optimized based on the first-hand learnings, scope and shortcomings of manual testing for specific RF tests. The automation algorithm has been developed, tested and verified for both testing, Major tests that have been studied include device linearity validating tests – power amplifier (PA) compression point (p1dB) testing and power-added efficiency (PAE%) testing, device noise measurements – Noise figure of Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA), device phase measurements- S parameter testing of PS and VGA components of Tx and Rx, active and passive component characterization, and OTA simulation using MATLAB Simulink 5G Toolbox. …”

Characterization of nickel-titanium based thin films crystallized by fast and ultra-fast annealing methods by Motemani Sharabiani, Yahya

“…Although RTA is energy efficient due to the shorter annealing time, the film roughness is less ideal than CTA, which may prove limiting in specific applications. Using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), it was found that the RTA (180 sec) and CTA (1 hr) films possessed the longest range order. …”
