Applications of deep learning for physical layer of wireless communication systems by Xie, Yihang

“…The 1D-TRNet receiver outperforms traditional OFDM receivers and state-of-the-art generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) receivers in terms of bit-error rate (BER) performance. The third research work proposes a deep learning-based 5G receiver, named communication transformer network (Comm-Trans Net), which is designed to be robust for different sub-types of TDL channels. …”

Visible Range Plasmonic Modes on Topological Insulator Nanostructures by Dubrovkin, Alexander M., Adamo, Giorgio, Yin, Jun, Wang, Lan, Soci, Cesare, Wang, Qi Jie, Zheludev, Nikolay I.

“…Phase-resolved real-space imaging of localized plasmons in Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2 topological insulator nanostructures is performed by scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy. Dipolar and higher order surface plasmon modes with well-defined field amplitude and phase profiles are detected in the visible part of the spectrum.…”

A study on the snowing phenomenon in binary alloy solidification by Saffie, M.G.M., Tso, Chih Ping., Tan, F. L.

“…The snowing phenomenon has been observed in some studies where seed crystals formed near the bottom of the test cell during solidification are carried up flow above the mushy layer by thermo-solutal convection flow, and they fall down on it just like atmospheric snow occurring in nature. …”

Anomalous high-magnetic field electronic state of the nematic superconductors FeSe 1 − x S x by Bristow, M, Reiss, P, Haghighirad, A, Zajicek, Z, Singh, S, Wolf, T, Graf, D, Knafo, W, McCollam, A, Coldea, A

“…We find that the nematic state is dominated by a linear resistivity at low temperatures that evolves towards Fermi-liquid behavior, depending on the composition x and the impurity level. Near the nematic end point, we find an extended temperature regime with ∼ T 1.5 resistivity, different from the behavior found near an antiferromagnetic critical point. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…</p> <br> <p>In Chapter 5, I focus on calving and flexure near the shelf edge. By using a viscoelastic flexure model, I investigate different mechanisms that cause flexure near the calving front, and how the flexure evolves due to viscous creep and leads to calving events.…”

Community concerns on migrant labour settlement issues in Malaysia by Izhar, Asma Idayu, Choong, Weng Wai

“…Although the authorities did come out with measures by segregating the migrant labours from the locals’ neighbourhood, the NIMBY phenomenon still remain, in which the locals are against the development of the said settlements near to their neighbourhood. In accessing the concerns that perceived by the locals, literature review is conducted to examine the locals’ acceptance towards the migrant labour’s presence near their neighbourhood is reviewed. …”
