Developments in THz Polaritonics: Towards Integrated Nonlinear THz Spectroscopy by Sung, Eric Rueyhao

“…A circular stair-step "echelon" mirror is used to shape the pump pulse into a conical tilted pulse front composed of a series of concentric rings of pump light. When the pump rings are imaged onto a thin LT waveguide, coherent superposition of the focusing THz fields excited individually by each pump ring results in a dramatically enhanced THz field at the focus. …”

Real time analysis of social behavior from video and kinect recordings by Ramasamy, Pandi Ramesh

“…Finally,analysis will be performed using pattern recognition algorithms and machine learning classifiers to detect the emotion of the subject.In this project,machine learning classifiers such as K-nearest neighbors,Naive Bayes and C4.5 Decision tree learning has been used. The prime aim is to pin point the most seemly machine learning classifier for obtaining highest accuracy for classification.…”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Linking microstructure and local mechanical properties in SiC-SiC fiber composite using micromechanical testing by Zayachuk, Y, Karamched, P, Deck, C, Hosemann, P, Armstrong, DEJ

“…The matrix has complex hierarchical microstructure with elongated grains, often featuring twinning, growing radially from the fibers in predominantly <111> direction and forming sets of concentric rings around them. The fibers contain equiaxed grains with carbon precipitates at the grain boundaries. …”

Smart home control system design using internet of things based energy harvesting technology by Silalahi, Lukman Medriavin, Indrawan, Muhammad Rafi, Budiyanto, Setiyo, Hanafi, Dirman, Abdul Hamid, Abdul Hamid, Ronaldo, Davit

Experimental and numerical study of self-locking adaptable inter connection for modular steel structures by Nadeem, Gohar, Safiee, Nor Azizi, Bakar, Nabilah Abu, Karim, Izian Abd, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline

“…The findings indicated that the gap produced between connection and column under higher displacement was sensitive to the outer bolt and spring pin. This gap could be further reduced by increasing the number of outer bolts and by reducing tolerance between adapter and column walls.…”
