A discrete event formulation for multi-robot collision avoidance on pre-planned trajectories by Deplano, Diego, Franceschelli, Mauro, Ware, Simon, Rong, Su, Giua, Alessandro

“…Second, we propose a heuristic method to compute a sub-optimal schedule: the computational complexity of this approach is shown to be polynomial with the number of robots and the dimension of the environment. Finally, simulations are provided to validate performance and scalability of the proposed approach.…”

High field dynamic nuclear polarization methods: Microwave sources and mechanisms by Mardini, Michael

“…In this thesis, I argue that this approach is not necessarily optimal and report progress towards arbitrary-waveform DNP, in the construction of a suitable solid-state microwave source, and the use of narrow-line monoradicals exploiting the Overhauser effect. …”

Relationship between synoptic scale meteorology, aircraft parameters, and observable contrails by Barbosa, Maria Paula

“…Long-lasting or "persistent" contrails are line-shaped clouds that form when airplanes fly through cold and humid parts of the atmosphere that are ice-supersaturated. …”

Public bus transit service modeling and optimization: from conventional to autonomous vehicles by Tian, Qingyun

“…In the first part, this thesis proposes a novel tri-level model for a transit service operation design problem that primarily determines the optimal bus line frequency setting. Unlike the existing studies, the strategy choices of passengers in presence of congested common lines are explicitly considered. …”

Anti-leukaemic and chemotherapy supportive effects of berberis vulgaris l. Fruit crude extract on in vitro and in vivo models by Saedi, Tayebeh Azam

“…For the in vitro method, cytotoxic effects of BVFCE were evaluated using MTT assay to determine the IC50 values and compare with non-leukaemic cell line (The 3T3 cell). Observation of the morphological changes in the treated leukaemic cell lines with BVFCE and Doxorubicin (Doxo) was examined using inverted microscope. …”

Disrupted working memory event-related network dynamics in multiple sclerosis by Rossi, C, Vidaurre, D, Costers, L, D’hooghe, MB, Akbarian, F, D’haeseleer, M, Woolrich, M, Nagels, G, Van Schependom, J

“…First, the activation of an early theta prefrontal network linked to stimulus encoding and attentional control significantly decreases in MS compared to HC. …”

Examining twitter discourse on electronic cigarette and tobacco consumption during national cancer prevention month in 2018: topic modeling and geospatial analysis by Lu, Jiahui, Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…Background: Examining public perception of tobacco products is critical for effective tobacco policy making and public education outreach. While the link between traditional tobacco products and lung cancer is well established, it is not known how the public perceives the association between electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and lung cancer. …”

Integrative imaging and electron cryo-tomography of viral transport mechanisms by Grange, M

“…I apply electron cryo-microscopy and fluorescence microscopy to elucidate the basis for this process, and link this to the behaviour of adenoviruses as they are recruited to microtubules. …”

Direct observation of deterministic domain wall trajectory in magnetic network structures by Sethi, Pankaj, Murapaka, Chandrasekhar, Goolaup, Sarjoosing, Chen, Yun Jie, Leong, Siang Huei, Lew, Wen Siang

“…The DW propagation in the network structure is governed by the geometrically induced potential barrier and pinning strength against the propagation. This technique can be extended for controlling the trajectory of magnetic charge carriers in an artificial spin ice lattice.…”
