Band-gap tuning of lead halide perovskites using a sequential deposition process by Kulkarni, Sneha A., Baikie, Tom, Boix, Pablo P., Yantara, Natalia, Mathews, Nripan, Mhaisalkar, Subodh

“…A systematic shift of the absorption band edge to shorter wavelengths is observed with increasing Br content in the perovskite films, which results in the decrement of the photocurrent. Nanorod like morphological features are also observed for perovskite films with an iodide to bromide molar ratio of <0.7.…”

Automated vulnerability detection system based on commit messages by Wan, Liuyang

“…In this thesis, we first conducted a large-scale crawling of Git commits for some popular open source repositories like Linux. Second, because there is no prior dataset for security-relevant Git commits, we developed a web-based triage system for security researchers to perform manual labelling of the commits. …”

Time density approach to managing en-route airspace by Tan, Brenda Teresa Li Min

“…It was found that the increase in flight time and the number of aircraft around the crossing point lead to an increased risk of collision. Factors like the number of aircraft in the entire sector and the headings of the aircraft around the crossing point were factors affecting the overall flight time and the number of aircraft around crossing point respectively. …”

Alternative approaches for enhancing plasmonic sensor performance by Soehartono, Alana Mauluidy

“…The role of geometry, especially height, on the resonance mechanisms is also studied, in which it is found that higher aspect ratio structures, realized by a cost-effective electrodeposition process, support waveguide-like modes which outperform typical planar resonances by up to 3X in the sensitivity and 10X in the figure of merit for the bulk and surface aspects. …”
