Perovskite superstructures and heterostructures for enhanced optical performance by Chan, Wen Kiat

“…Since PbBr2 occupies Br vacancies naturally occurring on CsPbBr3 NCs, we proposed a possible SS formation mechanism where PbBr2 serves as a ‘glue’ linking together individual NCs to form SSs at higher PbBr2 concentrations. …”

Bit allocation techniques for video coding and broadcasting applications by Yao, Wei

“…However, due to the increased video data compared to conventional single-view video, efficient coding format and joint bit rate allocation among multiple stereo videos on bandwidth limited transmission links are still challenging problems. A scalable coding scheme for stereo video is first designed such that regulating output bit rate of each video to match the allocated bandwidth can be achieved by simple bitstream extraction. …”

Electrochemical DNA biosensor based on nanoporous alumina membrane by Deng, Jiajia

“…Probe DNA sequences were covalently attached within the pores of the nanoporous alumina membrane using glutaraldehyde cross linking. Binding of target DNA to the probe inside nanopores caused impedance changes due to blocking of nanopores, which provided the sensing signals. …”

From node embedding to community embedding on graphs by Cavallari, Sandro

“…On such platforms, the users’ information is explicitly provided and most of the information is implicitly contained in the links between different users. In robotics, it is possible to achieve more a “human-like” movement of an artificial skeleton if we represent the interaction of each major joint rather than adopting an independent approach. …”

Electronic structures of topological materials studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by He, S

“…Moreover, the findings are also linked to the <em>Z</em>₂ topology of bismuth and suggest possibilities for studying obstructed surface states in a broader range of topological materials.…”

Dna markers and mapping of quantitative trait loci for yield and bunch quality in Deli dura X Yangambi pisifera oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) population by Seng, Tzer Ying

“…For practical applications from this work, it will be necessary to test these yield component QTLs in a broader array of genetic backgrounds and in different environments. Also, more closely linked markers or flanking markers to the QTLs should be sought because recombinations between the markers and QTLs can occur when transferring the results from one population to another. …”

Discrete differential geometry driven methods for architectural geometry by Yao, Sidan

“…This enables easy integration of existing and future 3D editing techniques with rich data models. The method links the original data model to the edited geometry using point set registration, recovering the existing information based on spatial and UV search methods, and automatically labels the newly created geometry. …”

Innovation and firm survival: the role of timing, funding, and networks by Gao, Ming

“…There is a large body of literature that provides empirical evidence for the debate regarding the positive and negative links between firms’ innovation and survival. While many studies have discussed how innovation influences firms’ survival, little has been done to explore how this relationship is shaped by other factors. …”

Signal processing for cooperative cognitive radio networks by Rabiee, Ramtin

“…For example, cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS), which is suggested to solve the hidden terminal problem, entails two important parameters as the quality of reporting channels (links between secondary users and fusion center) and the number of cooperative users. …”
