Heat transfer enhancement in drag-reducing channel flow by Yeo, Keng Hoo

“…In the present study, a two-dimensional water tunnel was designed and fabricated to investigate drag reduction by surfactant additives. Flow development check experiments were performed with different concentrations of surfactant additives to justify the fully developed flow conditions at the test section. …”

Capping layer enabled controlled fragmentation of two-dimensional materials by cold drawing by Chen, Ming, Li, Dong, Hou, Yuxin, Gu, Mengxi, Zeng, Qingsheng, Ning, De, Li, Weimin, Zheng, Xue, Shao, Yan, Wang, Zhixun, Xia, Juan, Yang, Chunlei, Wei, Lei, Gao, Huajian

“…Compared to the abundant phenomenological results from experiments, however, the underlying mechanisms of this technique are not fully explored. Here, supported by experimental investigation, finite element calculations, and theoretical modeling, we systematically study the effect of a capping layer on the controlled fragmentation of 2D materials deposited on polymer substrates during the cold drawing. …”

Formal contracts mitigate social dilemmas in multi-agent reinforcement learning by Haupt, Andreas, Christoffersen, Phillip, Damani, Mehul, Hadfield-Menell, Dylan

“…It is an open problem in MARL to replicate such cooperative behaviors in selfish agents. In this work, we draw upon the idea of formal contracting from economics to overcome diverging incentives between agents in MARL. …”

The Relationship between Linguistic Representations in Biological and Artificial Neural Networks by Kauf, Carina

“…However, recent advances in engineering have provided new tools for studying language: artificial neural network language models (LMs), which exhibit remarkable linguistic capabilities and are fully intervenable. In this thesis, I draw on these advances to shed light on language processing in the human brain. …”

Memory Checking Requires Logarithmic Overhead by Boyle, Elette, Komargodski, Ilan, Vafa, Neekon

“…Our proof is via a delicate compression argument showing that a ``too good to be true' memory checker can be used to compress random bits of information. We draw inspiration from tools recently developed for lower bounds for relaxed locally decodable codes. …”

Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…Using intraday transaction data from the TRACE database, I analyse over 1,000 of the most liquid corporate bonds, a total of 9.5 million trades. Drawing on similar studies of other markets, the relationship between returns and order flow is modelled using a vector autoregression, and the information content of a trade is measured as the long-run price impact of a shock to order flow. …”
