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. …”

Structural and functional characterisation of the collagen binding domain of fibronectin by Millard, CJ

“…The gelatin binding domain of fibronectin was first isolated as a 45kDa proteolytic fragment and has since been found to be composed of six modules: 6Fn1-1Fn2-2Fn2-7Fn1-8Fn1-9Fn1 (in this notation nFX represents the nth type X module in the native protein). …”

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

“…I use Monte Carlo and mean-field simulation to understand these effects from a theoretical standpoint, and heat capacity measurements—both theoretical and experimental—to confirm the importance of these effects. Since these results are for thermodynamic variables, they are applicable to a range of quasi–one dimensional materials involving Ising pseudospins beyond the particular family studied here.…”

Energy storage management for renewable energy systems by Feng, Xue

新加坡华语电视剧华人形象研究 = A study of ethnic Chinese images in Singapore Chinese television drama by Xiang, Zhili

“…Based on collecting, viewing and categorizing the representative TV series of MediaCorp Channel 8, this thesis analyzes the six dimensions in the construction of images of ethnic Chinese: Chinese nationals (Overseas Chinese), Singapore citizens, English education, language dialects, new immigrants from China, and other races in Singapore like Malays and Indian. In terms of the images of Overseas Chinese and Singapore citizens, Singapore Chinese TV dramas have demonstrated the transformation of the identities; before the Second World War, the emphasis was on the establishment of the Overseas Chinese identity; after the independence of Singapore, the attention was on promoting and instilling the identity of Singapore citizens. …”
