Optimal design of filters and filter banks using a symbolic approach by Luo, Ziwang

“…After that, the frequency localization and the joint time-frequency localization are optimized using the same numerical method. The final optimization is completed by finding a minimum of an unconstrained multi-variable function using the derivative-free method.…”

Electromigration study of through silicon via (TSV) by Tan, Yeow Chong

“…In the continuous drive for smaller chips (Moore’s Law) and heterogeneous semiconductor applications, traditional processing and packaging technologies may not be able to support this trend. 3-D IC can offer a greater packing density in the same footprint as 2-D miniaturizing is reaching its physical limit. …”

Animal social networks are robust to changing association definitions by Chan, AHH, Dunning, J, Beck, KB, Burke, T, Chik, HYJ, Dunleavy, D, Evans, T, Ferreira, A, Fourie, B, Griffith, SC, Hillemann, F, Schroeder, J

“…The interconnecting links between individuals in an animal social network are often defined by discrete, directed behaviours, but where these are difficult to observe, a network link (edge) may instead be defined by individuals sharing a space at the same time, which can then be used to infer a social association. …”
