Compact transformer based power combination techniques for millimeter-wave CMOS power amplifiers by Han, Jiangan

“…To characterize this circuit topology, admittance matrix condensation algorithm is proposed, validated and then used for seeking the optimum inductance range. Following that, the nonlinearity of CMOS transistor with inductive source degeneration (ISD) is studied using Volterra kernels in mm-wave frequency range. …”

Energy-efficient video streaming over wireless networks by Chuah, Seong Ping

“…These transport packets need to be delivered before a deadline at a target reliability which depends on the importance of the video frame. We seek the optimal transmission strategy that minimizes the transmission energy under the reliability and deadline constraints of a group of transport packets. …”

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

“…A possible explanation for stage II.2 is that, the environment contains not enough external stimuli to keep the open eye and situation-aware state, so that the brain performs vigilance regulation to seek external stimuli, and hence leading to distraction. …”

Improving outcomes in panic disorder and carer support in psychosis: a triad of studies on theory, practice and innovations by Aslam, SY

“…An exploratory aim was to evaluate the potential impact of a novel component of focused CBT which includes the use of ‘approach-supporting behaviours’ where safety-seeking behaviours are prominent. Method: We conducted a randomised parallel trial. …”

Distribution and risk factors of canine heart diseases and survey for owners treatment intention by Noordin, Norhidayah

“…Most dog owners (92.3%) were willing to seek treatment if their pet dogs were diagnosed, but the cost (39.5%) was a primary concern for long-term treatment. …”

Modeling and optimization of photovoltaic systems under partially shaded and rapidly changing conditions by Jiang, Lian Lian

“…This classification is then used to force a conventional MPPT such as the perturb and observe (P&O) or extremum seeking control (ESC) to search near the identified MPP, resulting in the system tracking the global MPP. …”

Signal processing for cooperative cognitive radio networks by Rabiee, Ramtin

“…We aim to analyze some pre-existing methods such as improved energy detector (IED) or double-threshold comparison scheme in terms of detection performance and transmission throughput when a CSS-based detection scheme has been implemented among the secondary users. We seek to study their efficiency, especially in the case of imperfect reporting channels. …”

Reduced cell and stack modeling of planar solid oxide fuel cells by He, Zhongjie

“…Although there are simplified P-SOFC models from 3D to 2D, the assumptions on dimensionality tend to lower the fidelity of model prediction. In this thesis, novel reduced models are developed for the planar SOFC (P-SOFC) and stack equipped with parallel plain flow channels to significantly reduce computational cost with desired numerical accuracy, while capturing both the average properties and the variability of the dependent variables in the 3D model. …”

Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for healthcare decision-making by Zeng, Zhiwei

“…Over the past decade, a plethora of explainability approaches have been proposed, ranging from ante-hoc methods that seek to build explainability features into a model itself to post-hoc methods that use techniques to improve the explainability of an already developed model. …”

“…The most commonly reported AEs were throat/mouth irritation, headache, cough, and nausea, which tended to dissipate with continued EC use. Very few studies reported data on other outcomes or comparisons; hence, evidence for these is limited, with CIs often encompassing both clinically significant harm and benefit. …”
