Squeezing the Quantum Noise of LIGO below the Standard Quantum Limit by Jia, Wenxuan

“…The SQL applies when using uncorrelated photons or coherent light to measure the object, such as a laser beam. However, introducing quantum correlations through squeezed light, a technique called squeezing (Chapter 2), can circumvent this limit. …”

Growth of gallium nitride nanowires by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) by Wang, Jianbo

“…Growth of III-Nitride nanowires on Si, which is the most commonly used substrate in microelectronic industry, using different growth techniques such as conventional Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD), and Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) etc. have been explored. Low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), which is widely used in Si wafer fabs, is of particular interest due to its low cost, ability to handle large size wafer and high throughput. …”

Ordered hybrid nanoneedle arrays for gas sensing by Liu, Hai

“…In the present thesis, a novel ordered metal/silicon hybrid nanoneedle array is fabricated using an ion beam that patterns the metal/silicon substrate producing a pillar array followed by the self-organization of hybrid nanoneedles. …”

Optimization of oil palm empty fruit bunch gasification temperature and steam to biomass ratio using response surface methodology by Najwa Hayati, Abdul Halim, Suriyati, Saleh, Noor Asma Fazli, Abdul Samad

“…Thirteen number of runs were generated based on Central Composite Design (CCD) with five replicated center points. Three regression models for predicting synthesis gas yield, LHV and CGE were developed and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed in this study. …”

Evaluation and implementation of a Just-In-Time bed-assignment strategy to reduce wait times for surgical inpatients by Braaksma, Aleida, Copenhaver, Martin S., Zenteno, Ana C., Ugarph, Elizabeth, Levi, Retsef, Daily, Bethany J., Orcutt, Benjamin, Turcotte, Kathryn M., Dunn, Peter F.

“…In this study, we used data from four surgical units in a large academic medical center to build a discrete-event simulation with which we show how a Just-In-Time (JIT) bed assignment, in which ready-to-move patients are assigned to ready-beds, would decrease bed idle time and increase access to general care beds for all surgical patients. …”

Search for a high-mass dimuon resonance produced in association with b quark jets at 𝑠 = 13 TeV by Hayrapetyan, A., Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Escalante Del Valle, A., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R.

“…The study uses proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Model-independent limits are derived on the number of signal events with exactly one or more than one b quark jet. …”

Bursting on a vortex tube with initial axial core-size perturbations by Ji, Lingbo, Van Rees, Wim M.

“…To further assess the relevance and prevalence of bursting in practical settings, subsequent investigations in the stability and sensitivity of our results to varying Reynolds number, nonrectilinear vortex center lines, and external strain fields are needed.…”
