Modal phase-matched bound states in the continuum for enhancing third harmonic generation of deep ultraviolet emission by Abdelraouf, Omar A. M., Anthur, Aravind P., Wang, Renshaw Xiao, Wang, Qi Jie, Liu, Hong

“…We experimentally achieved a Q-factor of ∼180 owing to the relatively large refractive index of the c-Si and the geometric symmetry breaking of the structure. We realized THG at a wavelength of 280 nm with a power of 14.5 nW by using a peak power density of 15 GW/cm2 excitation. …”

君绍的散文研究 ：本土的观察、记忆与反思 = A study of Jun Shao’s prose: local observation, memory and reflection by 陈姿潔 Tan, Zi Jie

“…This thesis attempts to start off with understanding Jun Shao’s love for the nature and his nature writing, before further exploring the motivations and significances behind his prose creation. The thesis will break through the existing boundaries in the study of Jun Shao's prose, and further discussing the strong local consciousness or nativeness presented in his writings, through analysing the display of local characteristics and his deep concern for the society. …”

Experimental investigation of pile-supported/floating breakwaters integrated with oscillating-water-column converters by He, Fang

“…Most of the existing designs make use of vortex shedding, turbulence and/or wave breaking to enhance dissipation of wave energy. However, wave energy can also be used for electricity generation, and integration of a wave energy converter into a breakwater potentially can be a promising technology for waste-to-energy. …”
