General methods for analyzing bounded proportion data by Hossain, Abu

“…The generalized Tobit GAMLSS model relaxes the underlying normal distribution assumption of the latent variable in the Tobit model to a very general class of distribution on the real line. The thesis also provides likelihood inference and diagnostic and model selection tools for these classes of models. …”

Wideband circularly polarized square slot antenna with an annular patch by Shirzad, Hamed, Shokri, Majid, Amiri, Zhaleh, Asiaban, Somayeh, Virdee, Bal Singh

“…A semicircular stub is embedded in the feed-line to enhance its impedance bandwidth. The antenna exhibits CP bandwidth of 22.2% across 4.87–6.09 GHz, which incorporates the WLAN band. …”

Enhancing and embedding work-related learning: innovative practice in an Interiors programme by Newman, Kaye

“…Plus all modules were realigned to build a comprehensive series of learning that fed into and out off each module to show the relevance of differing briefs, methods of working and therefore demonstrating that all aspects were in line with a professional approach and understanding of both the syllabus and the professional aspects required by the Interiors Design Industry.…”

Bandwidth extension of planar antennas using embedded slits for reliable multiband RF communications by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Naser-Moghadasi, Mohammad, Sadeghzadeh, Ramazan Ali, Virdee, Bal Singh, Limiti, Ernesto

“…This is accomplished by embedding capacitive slits in the rectangular patch with a truncated ground-plane, and exciting the antenna through a meandered strip-line feed. The proposed antenna was fabricated on standard FR-4 substrate with permittivity of 4.6, thickness of 0.8 mm and loss-tangent of 0.001. …”
