Hybrid free space optics/radio frequency communication for next generation wireless networks by Sharma, Shubha

“…The results show that the proposed switching scheme for cooperative hybrid FSO/RF system drastically improves the performance compared to that of single hop (SH) switching-based hybrid FSO/RF and cooperative FSO systems. …”

Perfect- and quasi- complementary sequences by Liu, Zilong

“…Specifically, the “fractional-delay” problem occurs when any inter-user delay takes on a value which is a fraction (rather than an integer) of the half chip-duration. By exploiting the correlation property of a PCSS, we have proposed a fractional-delay-resilient receiver with interference-free achievability in strong interference case. …”

Shaped Bessel beam singulation of glass substrates by Chia, Hao Guang

“…However, the heat generated can cause chipping and debris along the cut line. In addition, the area surrounding the cut often has heat damage, which alters the material's mechanical properties. …”

Challenges and applications to operando and in situ TEM imaging and spectroscopic capabilities in a cryogenic temperature range by Tyukalova, Elizaveta, Vas, Joseph Vimal, Ignatans, Reinis, Mueller, Aaron David, Medwal, Rohit, Imamura, Masaaki, Asada, Hironori, Fukuma, Yasuhiro, Rawat, Rajdeep Singh, Tileli, Vasiliki, Duchamp, Martial

“…These studies were made possible using a MEMS-based TEM holder that allowed an electron-transparent sample to be transferred and electrically contacted on a MEMS chip. The six-contact double-tilt holder allows the alignment of the specimen into its zone axis while simultaneously using four electrical contacts to regulate the temperature and two contacts to apply the electrical stimuli, i.e., operando TEM imaging. …”

Modelling, exploration and optimization of hardware accelerators for deep learning applications by Dutt, Arko

“…Fourth, we built emerging memory with resistive-random access memory (RRAM) and thin-film transistor (TFT) devices, acting as off-chip main memory for emerging multi-tier monolithic 3D system design. …”

Design of a supply- and temperature-invariant capacitive sensor interface for low power applications by Arup Kocheethra George

“…This architecture is suitable for interfacing a monolithically integrated single-ended capacitive sensor that has matched supply and temperature characteristics with another on-chip fixed reference capacitor. The proposed CDC uses two matched relaxation oscillators converting each capacitance to an equivalent time-period. …”

Pulsed laser scan methodology for single event effect (SEE) qualification by Chua, Chung Tah

“…In such a case, the laser scan methodology can be used as a screening test before heavy ion test campaign in order to identify possible bottlenecks in chip or test board design. Lastly, the proposed pulsed laser SEE scan methodology was demonstrated to induce damage in advanced microelectronic devices. …”

Showcase the smiles or the tears? How elicited perspectives determine optimal charity appeal content by Hildebrand, D, Hadi, R, Sen, S

“…Some charitable communications employ <i>deprived beneficiary</i> (DB) appeals (showcasing the distressing circumstances of suffering victims), while others feature <i>satiated beneficiary</i> (SB) appeals (depicting the improved state of victims after receiving help). …”

Engineered terahertz emission from spintronic heterostructures: amplitude, phase and chirality by Agarwal, Piyush

“…To summarize, the thesis aims to contribute to the synergies of spintronics and photonics for advanced applications in developing scalable devices bearing low-cost fabrication with on-chip compatibility.…”

Studies on plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxial growth of GaN-based multilayer heterostructures on Si for photodetector application by Zheng, Yi

“…Tunability of band gap and the possibility of formation of heterostructures with group III-nitride materials allow the design of complex structures to detect both UV and infra-red (IR) spectral regimes (multi band) on a single chip. By growing AlGaN/GaN multiple quantum well layers, IR detector can also be obtained, which means IR and UV detector can be achieved using the same material. …”

Immune correlates of early clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis among tuberculosis household contacts in Indonesia by Setiabudiawan, TP, Apriani, L, Verrall, AJ, Utami, F, Schneider, M, Indrati, AR, Halim, PP, Kaplonek, P, Malca, H, Lee, JS, Moorlag, SJCFM, de Bree, LCJ, Mourits, VP, Joosten, LAB, Netea, MG, Alisjahbana, B, McNamara, RP, Alter, G, van Laarhoven, A, Ussher, JE, Sharples, K, Koeken, VACM, Hill, PC, van Crevel, R

“…Some individuals, even when heavily exposed to an infectious tuberculosis patient, do not develop a specific T-cell response as measured by interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA). …”

Are Europeans ready for a more democratic European Union? New evidence on preference heterogeneity, polarisation and crosscuttingness by Hale, T, Koenig-Archibugi, M

“…Some scholars and policy makers argue in favour of increasing democratic contestation for leadership and policy at the European level, for instance by having European-wide parties campaign for competing candidates for President of the European Commission ahead of European Parliament elections. …”

Fabrication and characterization of Algan/Gan high electron mobility transistors on silicon by Tham, Wai Hoe

“…Thus, the global semiconductor industry has looked towards the direction of More than Moore (MtM) where both analog and digital functionalities are incorporated into a System-on-chip (SoC) platform for higher system values. For this to materialize, alternative materials with superior properties are explored in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices. …”
