Study of vector antennas by Zeng, Yong

“…Such techniques can give relatively good performance if many antenna elements are used. However, when the number of antenna elements used is relatively small, the performance degrades dramatically due to the poor accuracy and low resolution. …”

Does everyone have the potential to achieve their ideal body weight? Lay theories about body weight and support for price discrimination policies by Li, Kevin Shaobo, Kokkoris, Michail D., Savani, Krishna

“…The universal belief predicts support for price discrimination only when price discrimination is based on body weight but not on other risk factors (e.g., drug usage; Study 4), and only when consumers’ weight would influence the company's costs (Study 5). …”

Fake news, real risks: how online discussion and sources of fact-check influence public risk perceptions toward nuclear energy by Ho, Shirley S., Chuah, Agnes Soo Fei, Kim, Nuri, Tandoc, Edson C.

“…This study seeks to understand how online discussion, fact-checking, and sources of fact-checks will influence individuals' risk perceptions toward nuclear energy when they are exposed to fake news. Using a 2 × 3 experimental design, 320 participants were randomly assigned to one of the six experimental conditions. …”

In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…This brings us back to the very opening of Gabriel García Márquez‟s One Hundred Years of Solitude, the famous opening line: “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice” (1). These repeated images suggest hints of conflicting emotions, a thin line between sentimentalism and obsession, yet undeniably, there seems to be more meaning attached to this piece of memory than what is actually revealed. …”
