Interface energetics and dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites by Goh, Teck Wee

“…This observation in CsPbBr3 may point towards using perovskite single crystals to generate and extract hot carriers in solar cells. The last part of this work addresses the issue of UV instability of perovskites in MAPbI3 through the addition of Hindered Amine Light Stabilisers (HALS) to suppress photodegradation by UV light through photo-oxidation and free radical formation of perovskite. …”

The impact of anxiety and challenge on quiet eye in tenpin bowling by Lim, Bernice Hui Ying

“…Expert performers tend to have an advantage over others due to competent visual search ability, and this is particularly evident in self-paced sports where athletes have ample amount of time to go through the visual search process before taking a shot. A critical part of the visual search process is the Quiet Eye (QE), defined as the last fixation at a target prior to initiation of movement (Vickers, 2007). …”

Looking deep at people: towards understanding and generating humans in images with deep learning by de Bem, RA

“…A significant effort has been devoted to these tasks by the research community along the last decades, greatly motivated by a large number of potential applications, like surveillance, human-machine interaction, action and behaviour recognition, motion capture, video reenactment, and computer graphics animation. …”

Using shock tube species time-histories in Bayesian parameter estimation: Effective independent-data number and target selection by Chen, Huaibo, Ji, Weiqi, Cassady, Séan J, Ferris, Alison M, Hanson, Ronald K, Deng, Sili

“…The influence of target selection is investigated by comparing LastP and C-1. LastP outperformed C-1 slightly, which can be attributed to the fact that larger discrepancies observed between experimental data and model predictions of the last point can increase the weights of likelihood functions. …”
