Chillbot: Content Moderation in the Backchannel by Seering, Joseph, Khadka, Manas, Haghighi, Nava, Yang, Tanya, Xi, Zachary, Bernstein, Michael

“…Moderators in these communities used Chillbot more than four hundred times during the study, and moderators from six of the eleven servers continued using the tool past the end of the formal study period. Based on this deployment, we describe implications for the design of a broader variety of means by which moderation tools can help shape communities' norms and behavior.…”

Impedance and parasitic capacitance analysis of SiC MOSFETs by Tan, Wei Jie

“…Power electronic systems have benefited tremendously in power discrete devices in the past ten years. In the year 1970s, MOSFETs, which are known as Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors, as well as Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) in the 1980s, significantly allowed designs of compact high-efficiency systems, mainly due to the tremendously improved power gain…”
