Photocatalysis in a New Light: A Biohybrid Approach for Improved Reactivity with Tunable, Low-Energy Light Excitation by Cesana, Paul T.

“…The dominant process by which absorbed sunlight is transferred between these sites is through resonance energy transfer, which is highly efficient over long distances. This work highlights that light capture and energy transfer are crucial steps for the design of highly efficient photocatalysts in the future. …”

Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…Replacing rigid transducers with conformable ultrasound transducer arrays can allow image acquisition on curved body parts, improve image quality, and enable functions such as long-term monitoring. In this thesis, I propose a conformable ultrasound breast patch (cUSBr-Patch) consisting of a one-dimensional (1D) phased array and a nature-inspired patch design, which offers large-area, deep tissue scanning and multi-angle, repeatable breast imaging while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional ultrasound imaging technologies. …”

Robust Reinforcement Learning Strategies with Evolving Curriculum for Efficient Bus Operations in Smart Cities by Tang, Yuhan, Qu, Ao, Jiang, Xuan, Mo, Baichuan, Cao, Shangqing, Rodriguez, Joseph, Koutsopoulos, Haris N, Wu, Cathy, Zhao, Jinhua

“…It’s difficult to learn them all together, due to learning complexity, we employ domain knowledge and develop a gradually expanding action space curriculum, enabling agents to learn these strategies incrementally. We incorporate Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in our model considering the temporal interrelation among these actions. …”

From cellular automata to agent-based models : addressing urban issues by Quek, Wei Liang

“…By proposing a novel combination of serial and parallel expansions, the analytical flow rate shows that optimal efficiencies are achieved via configurations with few (many) lanes of a large (small) number of serial units when the processing time is short (long). The problem of bus bunching can be found in every bus system. …”
