Data-driven integrated approach to airport demand management by Cheung, Wai Lun

“…Without the option of capacity expansion, which is costly and has a long lead-time, the alleviation of air traffic congestion requires improvements in the utilization of capacity to enhance airport operation efficiency, and/or schedule adjustment to limit over-capacity scheduling. …”

Modeling and coordination control of AC/DC hybrid microgrids by Zhang, Zhe

“…Three-phase alternating current (AC) has dominated the global power systems for over a century due to advantages such as readily transforming voltages with different levels, high-efficiency generation, transmitting power over long distances, etc. However, direct current (DC) power systems have recently gained popularity because they enable the more efficient and dependable integration of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, fuel cells, and battery energy storage systems (ESSs). …”

Growth of vanadium oxides nanostructures by chemical vapour deposition by Sim, Dao Hao

“…Although several works have been done on the formation of nanosheets, the synthesis requires long duration (~12- 48 hours). This thesis investigates the growth of 2-D V2O5 nanostructures arrays on various current collectors such as aluminium, nickel and stainless steel using chemical vapour deposition process. …”

Signal processing for cooperative cognitive radio networks by Rabiee, Ramtin

“…Moreover, presuming the possible usage of the CRN concepts in new wireless technologies such as device-to-device (D2D) communication over Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) standard, it motivates us to think beyond the traditional applications of the CRN by considering some other parameters such as randomness in the number of available secondary users and higher traffic rate of the primary users as compared with the wireless regional area network (WRAN - IEEE 802.22). …”

Investigating viral glycosylation pathways for drug and vaccine development by Brun, J

“…Previously, it had been observed that a single high-dose treatment with the iminosugar MON-DNJ led to long-lasting antiviral effects in lethal dengue mouse models via alpha-glucosidase I inhibition. …”

Topochemical manipulation of some complex transition metal oxides by Amano Patiño, ME

“…The preparation of Ni_0.5TaO₃ from exchange of Na⁺ by Ni²⁺ in NaTaO3 represents a synthetic approach not yet widely explored in the long-standing challenge that the preparation of magnetoelectric multiferroic materials represents.…”

Exploring the Dynamics of Canine-Assisted Interactions: A Wearable Approach to Understanding Interspecies Well-Being by Holder, Timothy R. N., Nichols, Colt, Summers, Emily, Roberts, David L., Bozkurt, Alper

“…We performed a repeated-measures pilot study, to combine data collected via this system with a novel dyadic behavioral coding method and short- and long-term surveys. We evaluated these multimodal data streams independently, and we further correlated the psychological, physiological, and behavioral metrics to better elucidate the outcomes and dynamics of CAIs. …”
