Landless in God’s own country: development and perpetual struggles in Kerala by Ramapurath Chemmencheri, S

“…Departing from the trend of classifying land provision measures in specific countries/regions into neat categories, such as distribution and redistribution, I argue for the consideration of the state’s use of myriad permutations of land-related policies, which I collectively call “landfare.” …”

Signal processing for cooperative cognitive radio networks by Rabiee, Ramtin

“…Moreover, presuming the possible usage of the CRN concepts in new wireless technologies such as device-to-device (D2D) communication over Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) standard, it motivates us to think beyond the traditional applications of the CRN by considering some other parameters such as randomness in the number of available secondary users and higher traffic rate of the primary users as compared with the wireless regional area network (WRAN - IEEE 802.22). In this dissertation, we focus on some possible complexities which may be faced when the CSS has been utilized. …”

Towards A Robust Integrated Urban Mobility System: Public Transit and Ride-Sharing Systems by Guo, Xiaotong

“…To reduce disparity in demand prediction, we implement a strategy utilizing a Socio-Aware Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (SA-STGCN), aimed at improving demand forecast accuracy while reducing discrepancies in prediction errors across diverse regions. For equitable repositioning of the supply side vehicles, we introduce a disparity-reducing MIVR system. …”

From the microbial to the mechanical : environmental impacts on coral nitrogen cycling, microbial communities, and skeletal properties by Moynihan, Molly Anne

“…Using Porites cores from across Asia (Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan), skeletal hardness, stiffness (Young's modulus), and micro-fracture stress were measured to investigate how skeletal properties change locally and regionally over time. Select micro-mechanical measurements were paired with high resolution mapping of aragonite crystal orientation to further connect mechanical properties with the physical process of coral calcification. …”

Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models were used to evaluate the density of pinholes in the scanning electron microscopy images, and the Segment Anything Model (SAM) was used to separate different regions within the images. The Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm was able to identify processing parameters that gave pinhole free morphology, but more data on continuous variables could potentially lead to extrapolation of parameters that lead to better thin films with larger grain sizes. …”
