Strategies of colour and lighting design in the cinematography of Christopher Doyle by Peh, Colin Jin Wei

“…This thesis investigates a detailed format aspect of modern cinematography that has been neglected relatively in cinema study. The research aims to highlight the importance of cinematography in narrative storytelling through the case study of Director of Photography Christopher Doyle’s aesthetic practices through the major high-budget feature film Hero (2002), the mid-range-budget feature film In the Mood for Love (2000), Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) to the independent low-budget feature films Chungking Express (1994) and Fundamentally Happy (2015). …”

Nonlinear metasurface for simultaneous control of spin and orbital angular momentum in second harmonic generation by Li, Guixin, Wu, Lin, Li, King F., Chen, Shumei, Schlickriede, Christian, Xu, Zhengji, Huang, Siya, Li, Wendi, Liu, Yanjun, Pun, Edwin Y. B., Zentgraf, Thomas, Cheah, Kok W., Luo, Yu, Zhang, Shuang

“…While the generation of light with angular momentum is well studied in linear optics, its further integration into nonlinear optical devices will open new avenues for increasing the capacity of optical communications through additional information channels at new frequencies. However, it has been challenging to manipulate the both SAM and OAM of nonlinear signals in harmonic generation processes with conventional nonlinear materials. …”

Hybrid Federalization in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal by Allison-Reumann, Laura, He, Baogang

“…The five previous constitutions of Nepal failed and did not manage to avoid discrimination or overcome the domination of the majority ethnic group (Lawoti, 2007), and agreements with and principles for different members of society have not always been adhered to or delivered (Hachhethu, 2009). For more than 60 years Nepal has struggled to find appropriate solutions to problems of development, democracy, peace and equality (Von Einsiedel, Malone and Pradhan, 2012) and its new constitution has proffered a new direction for Nepal, albeit with continued contestation and disagreement.…”

Inverse aerodynamic optimization considering impacts of design tip speed ratio for variable-speed wind turbines by Yang, Zhiqiang, Yin, Minghui, Xu, Yan, Zou, Yun, Zhou, Qian, Dong, Zhao Yang

“…Because of the slow dynamic behavior of the large-inertia wind turbine rotor, variable-speed wind turbines (VSWTs) are actually unable to keep operating at the design tip speed ratio (TSR) during the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) process. Moreover, it has been pointed out that although a larger design TSR can increase the maximum power coefficient, it also greatly prolongs the MPPT process of VSWTs. …”
