Spray cooling and condensation heat transfer in a liquid cooled server system by Liu, Pengfei

“…It is found that the spray cooling performance is mainly affected by the spray nozzle flow rate. The condenser fan power and condenser cooling water flow rate strongly affect the vapour recovery speed and are therefore critical parameters for system pressure control. …”

汉唐女性复仇叙事研究 = A study on female revenge narratives from the Han to Tang dynasties by 戴倩倩 Dai, Qianqian

“…These narratives emphasize the oppression women experienced under patriarchy and the constraints on their power. Existing literature mainly focuses on later literary studies, but it is equally important that we should revisit to the origins. …”

#Hooked? Extending the social cognitive model in examining the antecedents of problematic social network sites use among Singaporean adolescents and adults by Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…Most notably, a nuanced difference in how paternal and maternal relationships were associated with adolescents’ problematic SNSs was found—adolescents who had poor relationships with their fathers were more likely to depend on SNSs for identity formation—which had the strongest association with deficient self-regulation. …”

Understanding the role of Enterococcus faecalis in polymicrobial wounds by Davient, Bala

“…Taken together, based on the experiments performed in this dissertation, I propose that the MPT system may not be directly regulating E. faecalis T7SS gene expression, but indirectly, likely through sensing the energy status of the cell. …”

Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…I obtained pinhole-free morphology through hot-casting at 110 °C and chlorobenzene antisolvent treatment during spin coating, but the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) obtained for these devices were still poor. It is likely that device performance is fundamentally limited by short charge-charrier transport lengths, such as through carrier localisation and/or exciton formation. …”

Experimental, numerical study and design of concrete-encased concrete-filled steel tube columns and beam-column joints by Ma, Youxin

“…In addition, the widely used European code EN 1993-1-8 for joint design mainly address the design of steel structure and cannot be applied to the design of RCS joints. …”

InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors on Si for RF applications by Xing, Weichuan

“…In fact, as the operating frequency increases into the mm-wave range by shrinking the gate length, the linearity is expected to degrade even further. This thesis mainly focuses on these two issues. Novel approaches are employed to resolve them and much improved device performance were obtained. …”
