High-voltage IR-UWB pulse generator MMIC design and beamforming for indoor-ranging and radar applications by Hussain Ansari Md Arif

“…In recent times, impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) systems have gained significant attention for indoor positioning and short-range radar applications due to many of their inherent properties like ultra-fine temporal resolution, non-line-of-sight detection, multipath immunity, low power consumption, low-cost, etc. …”

Synaptic CMOS transistor by Chai, Zhen Hong

“…In this work, electrical measurements were conducted on commercial level TiN/HfO2 gated n-channel MOSFET transistor (with an equivalent oxide thickness of 1.7nm) to demonstrate that it can exhibit some critical synaptic characteristics of a biological synapse such as excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic current (EPSC and IPSC), short-term plasticity (STP) and long-term potentiation (LTP), metaplasticity, and spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP). The mechanism behind the output characteristic of MOSFET to exhibit synaptic-like response is the charge trapping and de-trapping at defects in the oxide and oxide/semiconductor interface. …”

A scalable variational inference approach for increased mixed-model association power by Loya, H, Kalantzis, G, Cooper, F, Palamara, PF

“…We developed Quickdraws, a method that increases association power in quantitative and binary traits without sacrificing computational efficiency, leveraging a spike-and-slab prior on variant effects, stochastic variational inference and graphics processing unit acceleration. …”

Optimal planning and operation strategies of a battery swapping station in an electric vehicle corridor by Xie, Zhaoqing

“…This study identifies how bottleneck capacity and demand ratios influence the commuter travel patterns at departure time equilibrium, classifying these patterns into two main scenarios and five subcases, each with corresponding commuter cost functions. …”
