Assessing the role of surface electric fields on the interfacial degradation in silicon solar cells by Liu, D

“…</p> <br> <p>Through the current-voltage measurement for the PERC and TOPCon cells during bias annealing, I have shown the first bias-controlled hydrogen-induced contact resistance change in TOPCon cells. …”

Narcissistic personality inventory and hypersensitive narcissism scale : are they appropriate for cross-cultural studies? by Low, Jennifer Shu Fong.

“…Further investigation of the specific items in the two scales showed clear indication of item bias and culture-bound items. The reason for Asian Americans endorsing the items more does not necessarily mean they are more narcissistic but because these items are more relevant to their culture.…”

Low frequency noise measurement in the MOS transistor by Thet, Kyaw Win.

“…The low frequency noise spectrum and the dependence of noise on the different gate dielectrics, channel lengths and bias gate and drain voltages have been examined for frequencies between 1 Hz and 100 kHz. …”

A cognitive model of psychological resilience by Parsons, S, Kruijt, J, Fox, E

“…Future research directions targeted at testing hypotheses drawn from the Resilient Bias Model are discussed.…”

Women with Mandarin accent in the Canadian English-speaking hiring context: can evaluations of warmth undermine gender equity? by Hideg, I, Hancock, S, Shen, W

“…This overlooks whether the biases women experience due to their accent manifests differently. …”

Dark current analysis of InasSb-based hetero-p-i-n mid-infrared photodiode by Suo, Fei, Tong, Jinchao, Zhang, Dao Hua

“…The activation energy derived from measurement results indicates the positive (negative) correlation between the dominant dark current density and voltage bias (temperature). Whatever the voltage bias (temperature), this relationship always exists, indicating the high stability and reliability of our devices. …”

An update of a systematic review and meta-analyses exploring flavours in intervention studies of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation by Lindson, N, Livingstone-Banks, J, Butler, A, Levy, D, Barnett, P, Theodoulou, A, Notley, C, Rigotti, N, Chen, Y, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…We judged 15 studies at high, seven at low, and three at unclear risk of bias. In studies where participants had a choice of flavours, some switching between flavours occurred (five studies). …”

Investigating Fine-Tuning of Language Models for Multiple-Choice Questions by Wang, Ivy A.

“…This thesis investigates the positional and contextual bias of large language models (LLMs) when used to answer multiple-choice questions (MCQs). …”

Causal inference in health and disease: a review of the principles and applications of Mendelian randomization by Lovegrove, CE, Howles, SA, Furniss, D, Holmes, MV

“…Conventional observational epidemiological studies are subject to bias from a range of sources; MR analyses can offer an advantage in that they are less prone to bias as they use genetic variants inherited at conception as “instrumental variables”, which are proxies of an exposure. …”

Study: Transparency is Often Lacking in Datasets Used to Train Large Language Models by Zewe, Adam

“…Researchers developed an easy-to-use tool that enables an AI practitioner to find data that suits the purpose of their model, which could improve accuracy and reduce bias.…”

Experimental and numerical evaluation of aeroacoustic damping performance of in-duct double-layer orifice plates by Li, Jing

“…However, when mean bias flow is present, perforated plates with a smaller porosity σ are associated with smaller sound absorption coefficient α. …”

Adding spice to life : the influence of spicy food on group behaviour by Luar, Shu Qi

“…Here, it is examined if shared experiences of pain, operationalized by consumption of spicy food, would enhance social bonding and related outcomes (e.g. in-group bias, cooperation) in a realistic setting, and if extraversion would moderate this relationship. …”

Strategies to control crystal growth of highly ordered rubrene thin films for application in organic photodetectors by Hofmann, A, Wolansky, J, Hambsch, M, Talnack, F, Bittrich, E, Winkler, L, Herzog, M, Zhang, T, Antrack, T, Winkler, LC, Schröder, J, Riede, M, Mannsfeld, SCB, Benduhn, J, Leo, K

“…It is as low as 2.5 × 10−10 A cm−2 at −0.1 V bias, reflected in an overall specific detectivity of 6 × 1011 Jones at zero bias (based on noise measurements) and a high linear dynamic range of 170 dB. …”

In HF, T2D, CKD, or atherosclerotic CVD, SGLT2 inhibitors reduce HF hospitalizations and CV mortality by Zhu, D, Herrington, WG

“…Evaluated SGLT2 inhibitors included dapagliflozin (5 RCTs, n = 36 488), empagliflozin (5 RCTs, n = 29 869), canagliflozin (2 RCTs, n = 14 543), sotagliflozin (2 RCTs, n = 11 806), and ertugliflozin (1 RCT, n = 8246). Overall risk of bias was low for the 15 RCTs (Cochrane Risk of Bias tool).…”

Dynamics of Gradient Flow with Contrastive Learning by Tepe, Cem

“…However, their results don't explain how class collapse can occur without adding an explicit bias. The implicit bias of the gradient descent is a likely candidate to explain this phenomena. …”
