Online learning with kernels by Fan, Haijin

“…The Mercer kernel function is applied to perform transformation of feature vectors from a low dimensional space to a high or even infinite dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), where linear solutions can be found in the high dimensional feature space. Kernel methods have been widely applied in batch learning or off-line learning contexts for various applications. …”

Tin oxide based dye sensitized solar cells by Teh, Jun Jie

“…Besides, common problem of low fill factor (FF) in tin oxide based DSSC has been solved through gallium doping. Optimum gallium doping which moderate up-shift of tin oxide band edge results in better charge injection from dye to electrode and impedes electron from recombination with electrolyte, which in turn to increase Voc and power conversion efficiency. …”
