Unsupervised bayesian generative methods by Li, Shaohua

“…This finding bridges the two very different lines of model selection methods. The third task is about Word Embedding, a technique that maps words in a natural language to continuous vectors which encode the semantic/syntactic regularities among the words. …”

Development of selenization/sulfurization-free CuIn(S,Se)2 for thin film solar cells applications by Wang, Mengxi

“…As mentioned earlier, large CIGS grains will result in films that showed better solar cell performance and one of the reasons is that they have fewer defect sites and recombination centers. As a route to larger grain size, nanoparticles is first synthesized and by encouraging growth in these individual CIGS nanoparticles, micron sized grains can be achieved. …”

In-situ infrared spectroscopy studies of surface reactions over irradiated photocatalysts by Gong, Dangguo

“…However, deviations from the power law are attributed to partial trapping at surface Ti4+ sites. Under inert gas, and depending on the humidity level, photo-adsorption of water is promoted by surface-trapped holes and repelled (or substantially weakened) by surface-trapped electrons. …”
