Synthesis of heavy cyanide analogs for the design of novel Prussian blue analogs by Yang, E

“…In order to provide illustrative points of comparison, analogous metal complexes bearing various strong-field ligands are also synthesized and analyzed using the same approach.…”

Multi-sensor calibration and multi-modal perception for intelligent systems by Zhang, Jun

“…The main novelty is we propose to use the easy-to-obtain objects in the traffic for calibration (cars, trucks, buses, etc.). The essence is we observe that the 3D bounding box centers of the vehicles are viewpoint invariant. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…Bioceramics play an important role in the replacement and regeneration of human tissues, but their intrinsic brittleness and low wear resistance make the monolithic bioceramics still problematic for load-bearing applications. The two dimensional (2D) graphene and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), as the secondary strong and tough biocompatible nanofillers, are popular nanocarbons to reinforce bioceramics. …”

Stability improvement and control optimization of isolated two-stage AC-DC-DC converter systems by Feng, Fan

“…The analysis results offer instructive implications to fine-tune the design rules of the DAB converters. Bearing the mind that the impedance model of the DAB converter is closely related to the modulation schemes, the impacts of three typical modulation methods on the DAB impedances are analyzed and compared. …”

Towards robust sensing and recognition : from statistical learning to transfer learning by Yang, Jianfei

“…Secondly, current domain adaptation methods require careful manual hyper-parameter tuning, which is not realistic for unmanned systems such as smart cars. To stabilize the training of adversarial domain adaptation, Max-margin Domain-Adversarial Training (MDAT) is developed in this thesis to realize stable convergence without cumbersome manuals. …”
