EEG-based attention recognition using machine learning by Sun, Haoqi

“…Compared to other nonsparse and sparse algorithms, joint STDP achieves the highest level of sparseness in both learned features and hidden weights significantly. On the other hand, joint STDP has slightly larger root mean square error at 0.206 (±0.061), due to the trade-off between performance and sparseness. …”

Innovation and firm survival: the role of timing, funding, and networks by Gao, Ming

“…Given the explanation that a lack of adequate financial resources may increase the overall risk profile faced by SMEs and thereby reduce their likelihood of survival, this study tries to explore whether a helping hand from other organizations such as governments and large incumbent firms can help to diminish the negative influence of SMEs’ innovation in the early stage on their survival. …”

GeSn alloys fabricated by modified sputtering deposition by Qian, Li

“…In this thesis, theoretical studies of bulk Ge1-xSnx and Ge1-xSnx/Ge quantum well were carried out by using the 8-band k.p method. The influences of growth condition and characterization environment were investigated, and the calculated parameters, such as spontaneous emission rate of the quantum well provide a good guide for the following experimental work on realizing direct band-gap GexSn1-x thin films. …”
