Harmonized co-existence with robust interference management in femto-macro cellular architectures by Ponnu Jacob

“…Hence each femtocell is embedded with a cognitive capability by means of a radio resource allocation algorithm called Cross-Polarized Complementary Frequency Allocation strategy (CPCFA) which enables it to select its own operational frequency. Here it exploits both frequency and polarization diversity by incorporating reverse frequency allocation within an orthogonally polarized transmission network to maintain its interference to the macrocell user under a pre-determined threshold. …”

Colloidal quantum dot light-emitting diode architectures for high performance by Leck, Kheng Swee

“…Adding HTL at the electron side limits excess electrons to be injected into the QD layer, resulting in better charge balance. Here an improvement in the device performance of over five-folds was obtained with the proposed device architecture in comparison to the reference device in which the QD layer is deposited between the HTL and the ETL. …”

“British English is much more prestigious, everybody knows that!”: reproducing and resisting hegemonic language ideologies in Chilean English teacher education by Pérez Andrade, Gonzalo

“…Since the focus of the study reported here is on how English language professionals (co)construct their notion of English use(s) and users, this paper will focus on data that was collected through semi-structured interviews. 27 teacher trainers from three universities from Santiago, the capital of Chile, took part in this research which was part of a broader multiple case study. …”

Biogeochemical cycling and environmental footprints of peatland-derived organic carbon in the coastal ocean in Southeast Asia by Zhou, Yongli

“…The majority of this terrigenous DOC flux enters the Sunda Shelf Sea, where the terrigenous DOC has a relatively long residence time of 1–2 years. Here, we studied the composition, degradation, and environmental footprints of the terrigenous DOC derived from Southeast Asian peatlands in the rivers, estuaries, and the Sunda Shelf Sea. …”

Towards haptic intelligence in robots by learning from demonstration by Turlapati Sri Harsha

“…Specifically, the contribution here is the viewing of triangular meshes of objects, i.e., the internal model extracted from their 3D scans, not only as a source of geometric information, but also of haptic feedback. …”

Ultrastrong exciton-plasmon couplings in WS2 multilayers synthesized with a random multi-singular metasurface at room temperature by Wu, Tingting, Wang, Chongwu, Hu, Guangwei, Wang, Zhixun, Zhao, Jiaxin, Wang, Zhe, Chaykun, Ksenia, Liu, Lin, Chen, Mengxiao, Li, Dong, Zhu, Song, Xiong, Qihua, Shen, Zexiang, Gao, Huajian, Garcia-Vidal, Francisco J., Wei, Lei, Wang, Qi Jie, Luo, Yu

“…Boosting their interaction with light is vital for practical applications, especially in the quantum regime where ultrastrong coupling is highly demanded but not yet realized. Here we report ultrastrong exciton-plasmon coupling at room temperature in tungsten disulfide (WS2) layers loaded with a random multi-singular plasmonic metasurface deposited on a flexible polymer substrate. …”

Disorder–property relationships in magnetic and pseudospin framework materials by Bulled, J

“…Since these results are for thermodynamic variables, they are applicable to a range of quasi–one dimensional materials involving Ising pseudospins beyond the particular family studied here.</p> <br> <p>The series [C(NH₂)₃]Mn(_{1−<em>x</em>}) [Fe_{2<em>x</em>/3}□_<em>x</em>/3](HCOO)₃ is investigated, in which the B–site of the perovskite structure is occupied by Mn²⁺, Fe³⁺ and vacancies (denoted □). …”
