2DEG enhancement via epilayer stress engineering in AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructure by Patwal, Shashank

“…The subsequent GaN channel layer was optimized to be grown at 720 ºC with minimal relaxation at nearly stoichiometric condition (III/V = 1.05).The AGA heterostructure was completed with an AlN barrier layer grown at near stoichiometric (III/V~1) growth condition and a 2 nm GaN cap layer. …”

An energy-efficient multi-channel design for distributed wireless sensor networks by Kumar, Sunil

“…Nodes exchange control packets on the control channel to choose a data channel and decide the beam direction of the flow. Simulation results show that EE-MMAC achieves significant energy gains (30% to 45% less than comparable IEEE 802.11 and MMAC) based on energy efficiency, packet delivery ratio, and throughput.…”

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.…”

Evaluation and selection of rice mutants for high yield and quality fodder production by Abisola, Oladosu Yusuff

“…Increasing genetic variability with mutagenic agents has been broadly employed in plant breeding because this method alters one or more desirable traits, creating an effective breeding programme. …”

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. …”

Purely absorptive fifth-order three-dimensional electronic spectroscopy by Zhang, Zhengyang, Wells, Kym Lewis, Tan, Howe-Siang

“…We demonstrate a method to measure a purely absorptive fifth-order three-dimensional (3D) electronic spectrum based on a pulse-shaper assisted pump-probe beam geometry setup. The 3D spectra are measured as a function of two independently controlled population times. …”

Optimal network charge for peer-to-peer energy trading: a grid perspective by Yang, Yu, Chen, Yue, Hu, Guoqiang, Spanos, Costas J.

“…Simulations on the IEEE bus systems show that the proposed optimal network charge is favorable as it can benefit both the grid operator and the prosumers for empowering the P2P market, and achieves near-optimal social welfare. Moreover, the results show that the presence of energy storage will make the prosumers more sensitive to the network charge price changes.…”

Observation of a Prethermal U(1) Discrete Time Crystal by Stasiuk, Andrew, Cappellaro, Paola

“…A time crystal is a state of periodically driven matter that breaks discrete time-translation symmetry. Time crystals have been demonstrated experimentally in various programmable quantum simulators, and they exemplify how nonequilibrium, driven quantum systems can exhibit intriguing and robust properties absent in systems at equilibrium. …”
