High-voltage IR-UWB pulse generator MMIC design and beamforming for indoor-ranging and radar applications by Hussain Ansari Md Arif

“…In recent times, impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) systems have gained significant attention for indoor positioning and short-range radar applications due to many of their inherent properties like ultra-fine temporal resolution, non-line-of-sight detection, multipath immunity, low power consumption, low-cost, etc. …”

Vision language representation learning by Yang, Xiaofeng

“…We introduce three visual losses that expedite convergence and enhance fine-tuning accuracy. Our end-to-end models outperform or achieve similar performance as region feature models on downstream tasks, while exhibiting more than a tenfold increase in inference speed. …”

Energy management of microgrids by Ju, Chengquan

“…In order to deal with stochastic behaviors of RESs and loads in microgrids, scenario reduction techniques are extended by imposing auxiliary constraints so that the optimal solution space is narrowed down. By implementing the fine-tuned algorithm, case studies with benchmarks have well validated the reliability has been significantly enhanced at little cost of additional expenditure. …”

Assessing the impact of anthropogenic pollution on isoprene-derived secondary organic aerosol formation in PM2.5 collected from the Birmingham, Alabama, ground site during the 2013... by Guo, Hongyu, Rattanavaraha, Weruka, Stone, Elizabeth A., Offenberg, John H., Zhang, Zhenfa, Gold, Avram, Surratt, Jason D., Chu, Kevin, Riva, Matthieu, Lin, Ying-Hsuan, Baumann, Karsten, Shaw, Stephanie L., Budisulistiorini, Sri Hapsari, Edgerton, Eric S., King, Laura, Weber, Rodney J., Neff, Miranda E.

“…In the southeastern US, substantial emissions of isoprene from deciduous trees undergo atmospheric oxidation to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA) that contributes to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Laboratory studies have revealed that anthropogenic pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and aerosol acidity, can enhance SOA formation from the hydroxyl radical (OH)-initiated oxidation of isoprene; however, the mechanisms by which specific pollutants enhance isoprene SOA in ambient PM2.5 remain unclear. …”

Geobarrier system for use in underground structure by Leong, Eng Choon, Zhai, Qian, Tan, Sze Tiong, Wang, Chien Looi, Lim, Vincent Han, Kew, Jernice Huiling, Seow, Wei Kiong, Wong, Johnny Liang Heng, Rahardjo, Harianto, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Gofar, Nurly, Mohamed, Haneena

“…A GBS is a man-made three-layer cover system designed as a vegetative layer combined with a two-layer unsaturated system which harnesses the distinct difference in unsaturated hydraulic properties between a fine-grained layer and a coarse-grained layer. GBS consists of recycled materials and does not use steel nor concrete and is hence more cost effective, thereby making it economical for use in high rise building. …”

Understanding sudden larch death – from epidemiology to host resistance by Dun, H

“…Our field observations predict buds on fine shoots as sites of primary infection, with infection occurring between late autumn and flushing in the spring, followed by rapid lesion expansion during spring. …”
