Atmospheric characterization of cold exoplanets using a 1.5-m coronagraphic space telescope by Maire, Anne-Lise, Galicher, Raphael, Boccaletti, Anthony, Baudoz, Pierre, Schneider, Jean, Stam, Daphne, Cahoy, Kerri, Traub, Wes

“…For a Sun analog, we show that SPICES could characterize Jupiters (M ≥ 30 Earth masses) as small as 0.5 Jupiter radii at ≤2 AU up to 10 pc, and super-Earths at 1-2 AU for the handful of stars that exist within 4-5 pc. Potentially, SPICES could perform analysis of a hypothetical Earth-size planet around a Cen A and B. …”

Boronic acid and nitrofuranyl derivatives as potential therapeutics by Dey, AL

“…Last but not least, it is hoped that a handful of these potentially novel therapeutics could further be developed into leads or drug candidates either in Oxford or elsewhere in an attempt to tackle the ever-increasing antibacterial resistance. …”

Neural abstractive summarization: improvements at the sequence-level by Ravaut, Mathieu

“…By construction, the re-ranker above is bounded by the performance of the best existing summary candidate. …”

Reverse mathematics in lattice theory by Ru, Junren

“…For distributive lattices, we have Birkhoff’s Representation Theorem (for finite distributive lattices) and Priestley’s Representation Theorem (for all bounded distributive lattices). In Chapter 2, we will show that Birkhoff’s Representation Theorem can be proved over RCA0. …”

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

“…This is evident from how we are able to look for objects in the dark, wield them intelligently without having to know where we are holding them and even form a mental image of an object by running our hands along its surface. In the first part of this thesis, we build on this latter idea of performing haptic exploration of surfaces with a focus on extracting the geometry of fine features. …”

Human learning principles inspired particle swarm optimization algorithms by Muhammad Rizwan Tanweer

“…Further, a new constraint handling mechanism has been incorporated in the DDSRPSO structure referred to as DD-SRPSO with constraint handing mechanism (DDSRPSOCHM). Next, the application of DD-SRPSO-CHM in optimizing multi-stage launch vehicle configuration has been studied. …”

Development of resistive random access memory for next-generation embedded non-volatile memory application by Sun, Jianxun

“…In this thesis, the progressive analysis of the resistive switching I-V characteristics has been adopted to explore the upper and lower bounds of the DC parameters. The significant changes of the I-V curves have been observed when the DC parameters are out of the ranges. …”
