Optical study of excitonic complexes in transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers by Bao, Di

“…However, the distinct electronic band structure and possible many-particle components lead to complicated excitonic features especially in the photoluminescence spectra of W-based monolayers. Their possible origins and compositions need to be further explored. …”

Speeding up deep neural network training with decoupled and analytic learning by Zhuang, Huiping

“…The other challenge is that, to implement the analytic learning, there is a possible issue of memory leak caused by matrix operations based on the entire dataset. Hence, a block-wise recursive Moore-Penrose inverse (BRMP) method is proposed which can reformulate the original analytic learning exactly into a block-wise alternative using a block-wise decomposition of Moore-Penrose inverse. …”

Investigating the content and function of stress-induced extracellular vesicles in colorectal cancer by Mason, J

“…After validating a SEC-based method to isolate EVs from patient plasma, I showed that nCRT for rectal cancer is associated with altered EV-miRNA cargo. …”

Tsewang Norbu NGB by Cantwell, C, Mayer, R

“…Occasionally, the boundaries of a text may not be entirely clear, and we have made case by case editorial decisions based on a number of considerations, including previous scholarship on the text(s) in question, but most importantly, making some attempt to represent what appears to be the understanding of our edition's compilers. …”

Generative pretrained autoregressive transformer graph neural network applied to the analysis and discovery of novel proteins by Buehler, Markus J

“…We report a flexible language-model-based deep learning strategy, applied here to solve complex forward and inverse problems in protein modeling, based on an attention neural network that integrates transformer and graph convolutional architectures in a causal multi-headed graph mechanism, to realize a generative pretrained model. …”

Optimising the surveillance and control of communicable diseases: the effects of population heterogeneity on early outbreak transmission dynamics by Lovell-Read, F

“…In this thesis, we focus on modelling transmission dynamics in the very early stages of an infectious disease outbreak, using mathematical and computational techniques to design control mechanisms that facilitate early case detection and local containment.</p> <p>When an infectious pathogen first arrives in a susceptible population, the initial imported case(s) may lead to a major disease outbreak, or may instead fade out with only a few infections ever observed. …”

A state space approach to the analysis of frames and wavelets by Chen, Xiaofang

“…The author develops a direct approach to compute the frame bounds of mixed causal-anticasual linear systems, which includes linear time-invariant case and linear time-varying (LTV) case. The advantage of this approach is that it avoids converting the mixed casual-anticausal representation into unstable casual realization, hence saving many computation steps. …”

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

“…Experimental and simulation-derived results were cross-validated using their |S11| parameter plots, demonstrating a systemic downward shift in the resonant frequency and associated variations in impedance matching due to changes in loading reactance of the CSRR-loaded ESA. Finally, a novel inversion modelling procedure was developed based on perturbation theory to numerically extrapolate the relative permittivity of the various dielectric-loaded materials. …”

Motion Phantom Development for MRI by Liu, Kerlina

“…Since it's conception, artifacts due to patients' movement have shown themselves to be an issue and an assortment of tools and methods have been developed to help mitigate the effect of motion on MRI but such mitigation methods are generally only applicable on a case by case basis depending on the specific type of motion. …”

Is your ontology as hard as you think? Rewriting ontologies into simpler DLs by Carral, D, Feier, C, Romero, AA, Grau, BC, Hitzler, P, Horrocks, I

“…Our transformations target the elimination of inverse roles, universal and existential restrictions, and in the best case allow us to rewrite the given ontology into one of the OWL 2 profiles. …”

Multiscale Gaussian network model (mGNM) and multiscale anisotropic network model (mANM) by Xia, Kelin, Opron, Kristopher, Wei, Guo-Wei

“…Based on the mathematical structure of correlation functions, we propose a unified framework to construct generalized Kirchhoff matrices whose matrix inverse leads to gGNMs, whereas, the direct inverse of its diagonal elements gives rise to FRI method. …”

Design of a supply- and temperature-invariant capacitive sensor interface for low power applications by Arup Kocheethra George

“…Such circuit blocks might either be strictly needed for converting the sensor signal to a digital code or for achieving desirable properties such as supply and temperature insensitivity. In either case, such additional circuit blocks increase the system die area as well as power consumption and hence the cost. …”

Finite element vibration analysis using bar and beam elements with a new method for lumping mass matrix by Tan, Jia Yi
