Innovation and firm survival: the role of timing, funding, and networks by Gao, Ming

“…There is a large body of literature that provides empirical evidence for the debate regarding the positive and negative links between firms’ innovation and survival. While many studies have discussed how innovation influences firms’ survival, little has been done to explore how this relationship is shaped by other factors. …”

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

“…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. …”

Signal processing for cooperative cognitive radio networks by Rabiee, Ramtin

“…For example, cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS), which is suggested to solve the hidden terminal problem, entails two important parameters as the quality of reporting channels (links between secondary users and fusion center) and the number of cooperative users. …”

Effects of nnav1.5 expression modulation on mhc I antigen processing machinery and invasion potential of breast cancer cells by Din, Ahmad Hafiz Murtadha Noor

“…Loss of immune surveillance enables cancer cells to metastasize hence this study is to explore the possible role of nNav1.5 in regulating the expression of immune components, MHC I antigen processing machinery (APM), which is deregulated in breast cancer. Several reports link VGSC and APM in neurons, but the correlation between nNav1.5 and APM in breast cancer is unknown. …”

Unsupervised bayesian generative methods by Li, Shaohua

“…This finding bridges the two very different lines of model selection methods. The third task is about Word Embedding, a technique that maps words in a natural language to continuous vectors which encode the semantic/syntactic regularities among the words. …”

Disorder–property relationships in magnetic and pseudospin framework materials by Bulled, J

“…</p> <br> <p>In this thesis, I study the spin and pseudospin disorder in four framework materials—NaMn(HCOO)₃, Tb_{1−<em>x</em>}Y_<em>x</em>(HCOO)₃, [C(NH₂)₃]Mn(_{1−<em>x</em>})Fe_{2<em>x</em>/3}(HCOO)₃, and Cd(CN)₂. I investigate the links between their disordered structures and properties— namely, the magnetocaloric effect, heat capacity, ferrimagnetism, and thermal expansion. …”

Physical unclonable function based solutions to unification of user, device and data authentication by Zheng, Yue

“…The non-repudiation assumption of these conventional techniques is being challenged by emerging artificial-intelligent assisted and malware-based attacks on independently chained weak links (factors), and their limited extension to IoT scenarios, where the sheer number of inexpensive and often insufficiently protected endpoints prevent application of standard, secret-key based techniques. …”

Understanding the role of Enterococcus faecalis in polymicrobial wounds by Davient, Bala

“…Since E. faecalis T7SS encodes toxins involved in bacterial competition, but not the MPT and EET systems, I hypothesized that a link between the energy metabolism systems and the T7SS may exist. …”

The effects of atmosphere-ocean-wave coupling during tropical cyclone by Garg, Nikhil

“…This transfer of momentum (from atmosphere to ocean) is not a one-way link, i.e., there are feedback effects from ocean (both in terms of enthalpy and momentum) on the atmospheric boundary layer. …”

A machine-learned approach for reducing airborne delays and environmental impact in terminal manoeuvring area using extended arrival management by Lim, Zhi Jun

“…Air traffic management divides the airspace into three sections: the airport control zone (taxiing, takeoff, landing), the terminal manoeuvring area (TMA, for climbs and descents), and the en-route airspace (cruise). The TMA, a critical link between en-route airspace and the airport, is a major source of airborne delays. …”

Health monitoring, lifetimes estimation, and thermal management of IGBT-based power converters by Mohamed Halick Mohamed Sathik

“…Reliability of a power converter is mainly verbalized by the failure rate of power semiconductor device and dc-link capacitor. For instance, in applications demanding higher reliability, electrolytic capacitors are swapped with film capacitors, since they exhibit lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) with increased reliability. …”
