Efficient storage codes for non-volatile memories by Chua, Melissa Wan Jun

“…This dissertation applies variants of data storage codes to combat some of these reliability issues. Specifically, the core of the work is focused on two sets of issues - asymmetric errors caused by a shift in the cell’s resistance over time and the failure contributed from the limitation of the maximum number of rewriting operations of a PCM cell. …”

Stability improvement and control optimization of isolated two-stage AC-DC-DC converter systems by Feng, Fan

“…Since many types of renewables and energy storage devices, e.g., solar photovoltaic, batteries and supercapacitors, etc., are treated as DC sources, the multi-stage converter system is usually employed as the interface between the AC grid and DC networks. Specifically, the dual active bridge (DAB)-based two-stage AC-DC-DC converter is highly related to the distributed systems because of its advantages such as the high power density, soft switching properties, galvanic isolation and less passive components. …”

Control schemes of voltage source converters in more-electronics power systems by He, Jinsong

“…Existing control methods are mainly linear approaches that merely ensure the local stability of the closed-loop system relating to specific operating points. Once exposed to large perturbations, such as renewable energy intermittency, sudden load change, and plant parameter variations, the system may display a bifurcation phenomenon, due to operating point migration, or instability. …”

The sensitivity of tsunami models and tsunami energy to geologically constrained fault sources and shallow bathymetry by Felix, Raquel Picar

“…In general, this work shows that when it is not possible to use a very high-resolution bathymetry, a bathymetry with a res-olution of 10 – 50 m is sufficient to reasonably estimate tsunami wave heights, but coarser models can produce significant underestimation. The choice of specific resolu-tion should also depend on the mean distribution of data points, so that most of the data are represented well in the interpolated bathymetry. …”

Methods of growth and transfer of carbon nanotubes onto substrates for advanced electrical and electronic applications by Ng, Zhi Kai

“…This novel composite electrode yielded 60 times the charging current density (0.25 mA/cm^2 vs 15 mA/cm^2) of the previously reported electrode without compromising the specific capacity. This allows the fabricated battery to charge and discharge at a much faster rate. …”

Data driven and learning based approaches for integrated landside airside operations optimization by Ali, Hasnain

“…Results show that the chances of missed connections can be significantly reduced by operationally maintaining higher turnaround time and minimum connection time and by bringing down delays at the airport. Specifically, by maintaining the flight turnaround time at 50 minutes, minimum connection time at 60 minutes and by containing arrival delays within 70% of the current delay spread at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4, transfer passenger missed connections can be prevented for almost all the flights. …”
