3D surface analysis of coral microatolls by Gautam, Rohan

“…Studying microatolls is typically done by slabbing, an invasive process where a radial slice is obtained in order to study its annual growth bands. This is an invasive method. In this paper, we aim to lay a foundation for non-invasive analysis of coral properties by studying the 3d surface of the corals collected through LIDAR and photogrammetry techniques. …”

Investigating the EM performance of building materials for mid-band 5G in urban built environment: an exploratory study by Ng, Sean Jake Peng

“…This comprehensive study encompasses various factors, including the choice of aggregate types (FAC and fine sand), different levels of Fe2O3 inclusions (2 wt% and 4 wt%), and channel frequencies within the 3300 to 3800 MHz frequency band (divided into five 100 MHz channels). Prior to the statistical analysis, |S21| parameters were measured using an S-band waveguide experiment setup. …”
