Modeling and optimization of photovoltaic systems under partially shaded and rapidly changing conditions by Jiang, Lian Lian

“…The performance of each method is evaluated and compared with each other in a table. Since the existing methods show either low accuracy in derived parameters of the PV array or too much complexity in their calculation, in Chapter 3, we proposed a Chebyshev functional link neural network (CFLNN) to model the PV module. …”

How balanced are you? Bilingualism and the development of attentional control in English-Mandarin preschool children by Chan, Clara Gek Hoon

“…Taken together, the studies suggest that more-balanced bilingual children (as compared to less-balanced ones) exhibit better attentional control, and this difference may be due to the differences in exposure to their languages between these two groups; the less-balanced bilinguals are exposed mostly to their dominant language, and since that context does not require as much cognitive demands, they are less likely to practice attentional control, as compared to being in a highly bilingual environment, which is more common in more-balanced bilinguals. …”

Dynamic games for resource allocation in metaverse services and architectures by Han, Yue

“…In particular, the advanced computation method can be considered a service provided by edge infrastructure providers (EIPs) that offer edge computing services to IoT devices so as to avoid a long transmission delay in the backhaul. Since different VSPs may have different synchronization preferences for their digital replicas based on their service types, an effective synchronization solution should consider various agents, i.e., IoT devices, EIPs, and VSPs. …”

Development of selenization/sulfurization-free CuIn(S,Se)2 for thin film solar cells applications by Wang, Mengxi

“…CuInS2 was selected for the demonstration of solar cell because its film forming ability is better compared to CuInSe2 and CuInSSe This is because the poor solubility of Se in pyridine compared to S. However, since there is no high temperature selenization/sulfurization involved, the grain size of CuInS2 is still relatively small compared to those highly efficient Cu(InGa)(S,Se)2 solar cells. …”

Unsupervised bayesian generative methods by Li, Shaohua

“…In addition, it is desirable to incorporate global latent factors, such as topics, sentiments or writing styles, into the word embedding model. Since generative models provide a principled way to incorporate latent factors, a Bayesian generative word embedding model is proposed, which is easy to interpret, and can serve as a basis of more sophisticated latent factor models. …”
