Towards A Robust Integrated Urban Mobility System: Public Transit and Ride-Sharing Systems by Guo, Xiaotong

“…A nominal (non-robust) optimization model for the transit frequency setting problem (TFSP) under a single transit line setting is first proposed. The model is then extended to the RO-based formulation to incorporate demand uncertainty. …”

Stability improvement and control optimization of isolated two-stage AC-DC-DC converter systems by Feng, Fan

“…An interesting phenomenon is found that the open-loop impedances of Single Phase-Shift (SPS)-based and Dual Phase-Shift (DPS)-based DAB converters present the characteristics of the parallel-connected inductor and capacitor, while the open-loop impedance of Cooperative Triple Phase-Shift (CTPS)-based DAB converter presents the resistor characteristics. …”

Failure analysis and characterization for microelectronic packaging by Lin, Pamela

“…The investigation of ∑25(710)<010> tilt and ∑25(001)<001>twist GBs in bicrystal Si nanofilms show that their fracture strengths are lower than that of single-crystal Si, which is caused by the change in crystallographic orientation of the grains. …”

Studies on plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxial growth of GaN-based multilayer heterostructures on Si for photodetector application by Zheng, Yi

“…Tunability of band gap and the possibility of formation of heterostructures with group III-nitride materials allow the design of complex structures to detect both UV and infra-red (IR) spectral regimes (multi band) on a single chip. By growing AlGaN/GaN multiple quantum well layers, IR detector can also be obtained, which means IR and UV detector can be achieved using the same material. …”

Development of resistive random access memory for next-generation embedded non-volatile memory application by Sun, Jianxun

“…With the proper engineering of the oxidation reaction at the top metal/metal oxide interface (“micro” level), a device with the sandwich-like (TiN/Ti/TiN) top electrode exhibits better performance in thermal stability, forming, switching uniformity, and endurance when compared to other devices with a single layer (TiN) or bi-layer (TiN/Ti) top electrode. …”

A study of atmospheric gradient for the analysis of weather events and prediction of rainfall in the tropical region by Naha Biswas, Anik

“…In this study, we have incorporated precipitable water vapor alongside the atmospheric gradient in order to augment the accuracy of the forecasting algorithm with a 6-hour prediction window as PWV experiences an increase in its value before precipitation over an area. The single-layer dual-parameter algorithm with gradient convergence and PWV provides a high true detection rate of 90.4% alongside a substantially low false alarm rate of 21.9%. …”

Detection of road markings for advanced driver assistance by Suchitra Sathyanarayana

“…In order to distinguish solid and dashed single lane markings, a two-pronged technique based on continuity analysis of the lane markings in the spatial and temporal domains was proposed. …”

Power system adequacy and cost/worth assessment incorporating virtual power plants by Bagchi, Arijit

“…The VPP is mathematically represented as a single entity with respect to the transmission grid, and it’s ‘prosumer’ (producer/consumer) characteristics are portrayed using a probability density function. …”

Surface engineering to manipulate solar energy for thermal management by Fei, Jipeng

“…The main contribution of this work is the proof-of-concept that shows multiple passive cooling strategies could be integrated into a single composite with rational optofluidic design, where the cooling performance can be greatly enhanced.…”

Differences in the effectiveness of individual-level smoking cessation interventions by socioeconomic status by Theodoulou, A, Fanshawe, TR, Leavens, E, Theodoulou, E, Wu, AD, Heath, L, Stewart, C, Nollen, N, Ahluwalia, JS, Butler, AR, Hajizadeh, A, Thomas, J, Lindson, N, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…We could not determine the intervention impact of combination or single‐form nicotine replacement therapy on relative quit rates by SES. …”

Electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation by Lindson, N, Butler, AR, McRobbie, H, Bullen, C, Hajek, P, Wu, AD, Begh, R, Theodoulou, A, Notley, C, Rigotti, NA, Turner, T, Livingstone-Banks, J, Morris, T, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…There was inconsistency in the AE network, which was explained by a single outlying study contributing the only direct evidence for one of the nodes. …”

Global fertility in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2021, with forecasts to 2100: a comprehensive demographic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Bhattacharjee, NV, Schumacher, AE, Aali, A, Almidani, O, Bandyopadhyay, S, Graham, SM, Lacey, BWH, Maude, RJ, Runghien, T, Rodriguez, JAB

“…Projected TFRs were then computed for each calendar year as the sum of single-year ASFRs across age groups. The reference forecast is our estimate of the most likely fertility future given the model, past fertility, forecasts of covariates, and historical relationships between covariates and fertility. …”

Interventions for quitting vaping by Butler, AR, Lindson, N, Livingstone-Banks, J, Notley, C, Turner, T, Rigotti, NA, Fanshawe, TR, Dawkins, L, Begh, R, Wu, AD, Brose, L, Conde, M, Simonavičius, E, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…However, only one study reported an SAE (in the intervention arm); therefore, the effect estimate was calculated based on that single study (RR 2.60, 95% CI 0.11 to 62.16; 95 participants; low‐certainty evidence due to imprecision). …”

PostIndependentzia by Calzada, I

“…However, in this preparatory work, it is vital that other territories should be observed, linked, compared and benchmarked. Indeed, the transnational identity of the Basque Country should be constructed relatively in connection with others rather than be based solely on self-identification. …”
