Analysis and design of RSSI in the RF receiver chain by Bhaskar Yashaswini

“…This dissertation presents the CMOS design of such a RSSI block implemented in the RF receiver chain, which is used in low-power applications such as BLE or ZigBee. IFA and rectifiers form the basic building blocks of RSSI that are constructed with much care in this design. …”

A high‐resolution AUV navigation framework with integrated communication and tracking for under‐ice deployments by Randeni, Supun, Schneider, Toby, Bhatt, EeShan C., Víquez, Oscar A., Schmidt, Henrik

“…To decouple the contributions from the HydroMAN and ICNN subsystems towards a stable navigation solution, this article evaluates them separately: (1) HydroMAN was compared against DVL bottom‐track aided INS during pre‐ICEX20 engineering trials where both systems provided similar accuracy; (2) ICNN was evaluated by conducting a static experiment in the Arctic where the ICNN navigation updates were compared against GPS with ICNN error within low tens of meters. The joint HydroMAN‐ICNN framework was tested during ICEX20, which provided a nondiverging high‐resolution navigation solution—with the majority of error below 15 m—that facilitated a successful AUV recovery through a small ice hole after an 11 km untethered run in the upper and mid‐water column.…”

Turbulent diapycnal fluxes as a pilot Essential Ocean Variable by Le Boyer, Arnaud, Couto, Nicole, Alford, Matthew H., Drake, Henri F., Bluteau, Cynthia E., Hughes, Kenneth G., Naveira Garabato, Alberto C., Moulin, Aurélie J., Peacock, Thomas, Fine, Elizabeth C., Mashayek, Ali, Cimoli, Laura, Meredith, Michael P., Melet, Angelique, Fer, Ilker, Dengler, Marcus, Stevens, Craig L.

“…Unlike isopycnal turbulent fluxes, which are dominated by the mesoscale (tens of kilometers), microscale diapycnal fluxes cannot be derived as the product of existing EOVs, but rather require observations at the appropriate scales. …”

A new method to estimate slab dip direction using receiver functions and its application in revealing slab geometry and a diffuse plate boundary beneath Sumatra by Feng, Mingye, Chen, Ling, Wei, Shengji, Wang, Xin, Wang, Xu, Wu, Zimu

“…Here, we develop a new method, Dip Direction Searching (DDS), of receiver functions (RFs) that reduces the uncertainty of slab dip direction estimation from tens to several degrees. DDS can also resolve the thickness and depth of a dipping structure. …”

Light-matter interactions in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides by Zhao, Jiaxin

“…Following the carrier relaxation in the systems, the slow recovery process lasts for several tens of ps. By coherently superimposing monolayer exciton and cavity photons, when the system is in the strong coupling regime, the formation of exciton polaritons potentially harnesses the valley-polarized polariton-polariton interactions for novel valleytronic devices. …”

The sensitivity of tsunami models and tsunami energy to geologically constrained fault sources and shallow bathymetry by Felix, Raquel Picar

“…In contrast, the d´ecollement which is much wider (tens to hundreds of kilometers) is not significantly affected by water damping, and it can more easily trigger large tsunamis. …”

Physical properties of keropok (fried crisps) in relation to the amylopectin content of the starch flours by Mohamed, Suhaila, Abdullah, Norakiah, Muthu, Mangayar Karasi

“…Although linear expansion decreased with increasing mung bean flour content, the substitution of up to 600 g kg−1 mung bean flour was acceptable since the linear expansion of mung bean/tapioca crisps remained above 35%. …”
