OAM-based reconfigurable doppler shifts enable PAPR reduction for multi-carrier doppler diversity by Zhao, Yufei, Ge, Yao, Yang, Zhaojie, Ju, Gaohua, Ma, Lu, Lu, Yilong, Guan, Yong Liang

“…The artificial Doppler signals can be widely used in various wireless transmission scenarios, such as Doppler spoofing stealth, Doppler index modulation, and frequency-hopping channels. As a specific example, this paper demonstrates that in the discontinuous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) degradation caused by superposition of multi-carrier signal for additional Doppler diversity can be greatly alleviated by means of the OAM-based reconfigurable Doppler shifts.…”

Entropic centrality for non-atomic flow networks by Oggier, Frédérique, Phetsouvanh, Silivanxay, Datta, Anwitaman

“…Given a graph, the notion of entropic centrality was introduced by Tutzauer to characterize vertices which are important in the sense that there is a high uncertainty about the destination of an atomic flow starting at them, assuming that at each hop, the flow is equally likely to continue to any unvisited vertex, or to be terminated there. …”

VR-CFD : interactive simulation of computational fluid dynamics by Yang, Sida

“…The developed VR-CFD application utilized an attractive design with bright colours, familiar game characters and game-like user interface aimed to make the introductory CFD class fun, interactive and engaging, helping students intuitively grasp the physics concepts. It is hoped that with further development on the early prototype demonstrated in this paper, the VR-CFD application could truly contribute to students’ learning in fluid dynamics problems and how CFD is used to solve them, therefore revolutionizing the way traditional mechanical engineering subjects are taught in class.…”

Investigating the neural substrates of Chinese character processing by Wu, Chiao-Yi

“…This thesis proposed a research framework by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying Chinese character processing. We hoped to further explore whether Chinese character processing involved differential neuroanatomical representations as compared with the universal language network that has been based on alphabetic languages. …”
