Why do Chinese firms go public abroad and how do they perform? by Yuan, Mengying

“…Next, we compare the performance of listed firms in the Hong Kong, United States, and A-share markets based on statistical analysis. The main finding is that overseas-listed companies do not perform better than A-share listed firms, but they are more likely to conduct M&A activities, financial investments, and bond issuance in currencies other than RMB. …”

Report for project A1017-101on hybrid solar PV thermal (PVT) system using a tracking solar trough I by Cheung, Wai Kin.

“…A simple verification study on the effects of heat on the cell output was therefore performed in conjunction with an investigation on the possibility of harnessing of warm water from the output of the cooling system for domestic purposes to maximise the potential of the application. The findings on the 2 above mentioned studies appeared that at this level of convergence of sunlight, the heat effects is not pronounced when applied with a cooling system running at 0.448l/min & 0.938l/min respectively. …”

Machine-Learning-Assisted Analysis of Visible Spectroscopy in Pulsed-Power-Driven Plasmas by Datta, Rishabh, Ahmed, Faez, Hare, Jack D.

“…Radiation transport simulations, which use spectral emissivity and opacity values generated using the collisional-radiative code PrismSPECT, are used to determine the spectral intensity generated by the plasma along the spectrometer’s line of sight (LOS). The spectra exhibit Al-II and Al-III lines, whose line ratios and line widths vary with the density and temperature of the plasma. …”

3D simulation-based research on the effect of interconnect structures on circuit reliability by He, Feifei, Tan, Cher Ming

“…The simulation of the EM reliability of the interconnects is usually performed using the line-via structure at the EM test temperature (e.g. 300 oC).However, such simulation using the line-via structure may not give the same void nucleation location as in the real circuit structure, especially at the circuit operation temperature (e.g. 90C). …”
