Closed-loop job release based on WIPLOAD control in semiconductor wafer fabrication by Qi, Chao

“…This thesis presents a new methodology for making job release decisions in a semi-conductor wafer fabrication line. Although the new job release approach is more broadly applicable to other manufacturing systems which have similar characteristics, the application to semiconductor manufacturing is quite relevant and of great interest, given the complxity and cost of modern wafer fabrications.…”

Ancient solutions and translators of Lagrangian mean curvature flow by Lotay, JD, Schulze, F, Székelyhidi, G

“…We show that if $\mathcal{M}$ has a blow-down given by the static union of two Lagrangian subspaces with distinct Lagrangian angles that intersect along a line, then $\mathcal{M}$ is a translator. In particular in $\mathbb{C}^2$, all zero-Maslov, exact, ancient solutions of Lagrangian mean curvature flow with entropy less than 3 are special Lagrangian, a union of planes, or translators.…”

Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…I obtained pinhole-free morphology through hot-casting at 110 °C and chlorobenzene antisolvent treatment during spin coating, but the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) obtained for these devices were still poor. …”

Modeling of outdoor natural ventilation and energy performance for buildings in an industrial park by Tan, Joel Heang Kuan.

“…The hotter air would then be more buoyant than the surrounding air thus gaining velocity and rise upwards. By having a double skin roof, the top roof would be heated causing air between both roofs to flow thereby causing convection. …”

Murine cd4+ T cell Responses are inhibited by cytotoxic T cell-mediated killing of dendritic cells and are restored by antigen transfer by Ma, Joel Zhi-Iong, Lim, So Nai, Qin, Jim Shixiang, Yang, Jianping, Enomoto, Noriyuki, Ruedl, Christiane, Ronchese, Franca

“…Residual CD4+ T cell proliferation was due to the transfer of antigen from carrier DC to host APC, and predominantly involved skin DC populations. Importantly, the proliferating CD4+ T cells also developed into IFN-γ producing memory cells, a property normally requiring direct presentation by activated DC. …”

Perceptions of a Buruli ulcer controlled human infection model: How, who, and why? by Muhi, S, Schmidt, S, Marshall, JL, O’Brien, DP, Johnson, PDR, McCarthy, JS, Jamrozik, E, Osowicki, J, Stinear, TP

“…Background: Infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans causes slowly progressive skin lesions known as Buruli ulcer (BU). An M. ulcerans controlled human infection model (MuCHIM) is likely to accelerate our understanding of this otherwise neglected disease, and may be an efficient platform for testing vaccines and other interventions. …”

Al2O3-Cu hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in the duct with various triangular rib configurations by Togun, Hussein, Homod, Raad Z., Sultan Aljibori, Hakim S., Abed, Azher M., Alias, Hajar, Hussein, Ahmed Kadhim, Biswal, Uddhaba, Al-Thamir, Mohaimen, Mahdi, Jasim M., Mohammed, Hayder I., Ahmadi, Goodarz

“…Key findings include: (1) the 60° rib configuration produced the highest local heat transfer coefficient, with the maximum occurring at the rib centers. (2) Increasing nanofluid concentration and Reynolds number enhanced heat transfer but reduced skin friction. (3) The optimal performance was achieved with 2 vol.% Al2O3–Cu at Re = 60,000. (4) Velocity contours revealed larger recirculation zones for 60° ribs compared to 45° and 90° configurations. (5) Turbulent kinetic energy was highest for 60° ribs, contributing to enhanced thermal performance. …”
