Investigation of Ni as Zn substitute in CZTS thin film solar cell by Quek, Ka Jun

“…In addition, two spray methods (dynamic and static mode) were also investigated based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and current-voltage characteristics to find the best method to synthesize CNZTS. The highest efficiency achieved was around 5.45% for pure Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) device using static mode, meanwhile the nickel-substituted samples behave like a metal instead of semiconductor when the Ni is substituted. …”

Unravelling gene regulation in the epidermis during differentiation by Anisa Banu Abdul Rahim

“…The rate-limiting enzyme adenosyl methionine decarboxylase (AMD1) promotes the synthesis of Spd and Spm from Put and changes in AMD1 levels directly influence the ratio and levels of all three polyamines. We find that AMD1 is highly enriched in the suprabasal layers of the human epidermis and is translationally upregulated during in vitro differentiation of immortalized and human primary keratinocytes. …”

Dynamic spectrum allocation for heterogeneous cognitive radio networks with multiple channels by Zhang, Wenjie, Sun, Yingjuan, Deng, Lei, Yeo, Chai Kiat, Yang, Liwei

“…This problem is proven to be Non-deterministic Polynomial (NP)-complete, and a recent result in theoretical computer science called randomized rounding algorithm with polynomial computational complexity is developed to find the $\rho$-approximation solution. Evaluation results show that our proposed algorithm can achieve a close-to-optimal solution at a low level of computation complexity.…”

Ab initio simulation of electronic and mechanical properties of aluminium for fatigue early feature investigation by Zhang, Shuai, Tan, Cher Ming, Cheng, Shuguang, Deng, Tianqi, He, Feifei, Su, Haibin

“…It has been shown that Young's modulus decreases with fatigue cycles and when a low threshold is reached, cracks will be initiated. We find that the Young's modulus of Al (111) is the largest, indicating its robustness against fatigue as compare to other orientations.…”

Overcoming endurance issue : UAV-enabled communications with proactive caching by Xu, Xiaoli, Zeng, Yong, Guan, Yong Liang, Zhang, Rui

“…As the formulated problem is NP-hard in general, we propose efficient algorithms to find high-quality approximate solutions for it. Numerical results are provided to corroborate our study and show the great potential of proactive caching for overcoming the endurance issue in UAV-enabled communications.…”

Coherently tunable triangular trefoil phaseonium metamaterial by Soci, Cesare, Nguyen, Duc Minh, Ooi, Raymond C. H.

“…For specific values of the probing frequencies and control fields, the phaseonium can display either metallic or dielectric optical response. We find that, in the metallic regime, the phaseonium metamaterial structure supports extremely large transmission, with optical amplification at large enough intensity of the microwave thanks to strong surface plasmon coupling; while, in the dielectric regime without microwave excitation, the transmission bandwidth can be tuned by varying the control beam intensity. …”

Marta Czok ARCHĪVUM by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig, Czok, Marta

“…Each work is a standing document, but also part of a compendium of memories made, in this case, of images and narratives that intertwine with one another, as if they were branches of a tree – itself a symbol that we frequently find in Marta Czok's works. For Palazzo Mathis in Bra, this concept became the stimulus for a retrospective exhibition that looked at the artist's overall work, highlighting particular moments through a selection of four themes: AURUM (gold representations), CIVITAS (scenes of social life), VENUS (female representations), URBS (cityscapes). …”

“…We find a typical sample variance of 10-20percnt for 0.3 and 0.5 sq. deg. sub-regions at S1.4 ≤ 200 μJy, which increases at brighter flux densities, given the lower source density and expected higher galaxy bias for these sources.…”

Mathematical models of liquid crystals and related materials by Taylor, J

“…Unlike Onsager’s free energy density, the non-trivial solutions to the new model all have non-trivial support, im- plying two-sided variations cannot find solutions. In order to overcome this issue, we apply similar heuristics to the previous chapter to split the minimisation into two steps, a strictly convex minimisation problem with linear constraints and a finite dimensional, <em>C</em>¹ minimisation problem, the latter of which provides an Euler-Lagrange-type equation satisfied by all <em>L</em>^p -local minimisers. …”
