Theoretical study on rhombohedral domain and associated properties in perovskite ferroelectric materials by Huang, Chuanwei.

“…The results imply that there is a general thickness-dependent domain size scaling behavior for ferroic films, including: (I) the classical ½ power law relationship for thick films, (II) the deviation from the ½ relationship for intermediate film thickness and (III) an increase exponentially in ultrathin films when decreasing the film thickness.…”

Design of phase locked loop with PVT tolerance by Chong, Kok Foong

“…VCO dummies are normally added to the VCO in order to provide a uniform loading for each VCO delay stage. To check the impacts of different VCO dummy implementation on PLL jitter, five experimental charge pump PLLs are simulated with difference only in the dummy stages: (i) no dummy, (ii) simple dummy, (iii) single stage differential dummy, (iv) double stage differential dummy and (v) full differential dummy with the D2S converters. …”

An inexact non-interior continuation method for variational inequalities and differential properties of euclidean projection onto power cone by Khanh Hien, Le Thi

“…In the first part of this thesis, using barrier based smoothing approximation, we extend the non-interior continuation method proposed in [B. Chen and N. Xiu, SIAM J. Optim. 9(1999), 605--623] for complementarity problem over non-negative orthant to an inexact non-interior continuation method for variational inequalities over general closed convex sets. …”

Evaluating the effectiveness of the trajectory prediction aids on air traffic controller in the context of workload and situation awareness by Chua, Jia Yun

“…Thus, this experiment was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of trajectory prediction aids on ATCOs in the context of workload and situation awareness, when they were given the freedom of choice. As such, they would have the autonomy to choose the particular aid that would be useful to them in better managing the air traffic. …”

Age-related differences in functional connectivity during scene encoding by Leow, Dayton Wei Yang

“…Past neuroimaging studies have found both the parahippocampus in the MTL and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) in the PFC to be activated for scene encoding.3 In addition, when scenes are encoded based on its meaningfulness (i.e. relational encoding), the hippocampus will be activated for relational binding of the stimuli.4. …”
