Failure analysis and characterization for microelectronic packaging by Lin, Pamela

“…In the recent years, the mechanical robustness and reliability of three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit (IC) packaging have become tremendously challenging due to its continuous reduction in size and increase in vertical integration. …”

Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…<p>Indoor photovoltaic (IPV) development has garnered increasing interest in recent years because of the potential to sustainably provide energy to the billions of autonomous devices part of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. …”

Robust and efficient deep learning methods for vision-based action recognition by Xu, Yuecong

“…Although various image DA approaches have been proposed in recent years, there is limited research towards Video Domain Adaptation (VDA), owing to the complexity in adapting the different modalities of features in videos, which includes both temporal features and spatiotemporal correlation features. …”

A machine-learned approach for reducing airborne delays and environmental impact in terminal manoeuvring area using extended arrival management by Lim, Zhi Jun

“…Although COVID-19 temporarily reduced delays due to decreased traffic, many large hubs have now returned to pre-pandemic levels, with strong growth expected in the coming years. Air traffic management divides the airspace into three sections: the airport control zone (taxiing, takeoff, landing), the terminal manoeuvring area (TMA, for climbs and descents), and the en-route airspace (cruise). …”

Electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation by Lindson, N, Butler, AR, McRobbie, H, Bullen, C, Hajek, P, Begh, R, Theodoulou, A, Notley, C, Rigotti, NA, Turner, T, Livingstone-Banks, J, Morris, T, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…We did not detect evidence of serious harm from nicotine EC, but the longest follow-up was two years and the number of studies was small. The main limitation of the evidence base remains imprecision due to the small number of RCTs, often with low event rates. …”

Preparation of low-dimensional materials for plasmonic bio-sensing by Das, Chandreyee Manas

“…During the entire research duration of two and a half years, we focused on the use of simulation methods in predicting the sensitivity of SPR structures made of hybrid multi-layer low dimensional materials. …”

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

“…“Moore’s Law” states that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit will double approximately every two years. True to this observation, the number of transistors per Si IC indeed has doubled every 18 months since the 1970s. …”

PostIndependentzia by Calzada, I

“…This core idea of this book is that the Basque Country, due to its own intricacies rather than merely as a consequence of its being kidnapped and held captive by the old-fashioned Spanish and French state legal frameworks, has come, over the years, to develop many points of inertia that are inherent in its territorial policies and strategies. …”
