Implementation of industry-standard functional coverage in UVM testbench for SoC level verification by Zhang, Shaoyan

“…The UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) is a very valuable research tool due to its reusability and ease of use. In addition, the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is the most widely used standard interface protocol in the world, and the APB(Advanced Peripheral Bus)-SPI verification IP is of great practicality. …”

In-situ infrared spectroscopy studies of surface reactions over irradiated photocatalysts by Gong, Dangguo

“…Furthermore, while major efforts have been expended in materials synthesis, characterization and testing, spectroscopic investigations at the reactant/catalyst interfaces are sparse. In particular, in situ studies at the photocatalyst surface are vital to unravel the mechanistics detail, yielding key information integral to the design and development of new materials with superior performance. …”

Understanding lay conceptions of workplace criers: a prototype analysis by Tan, Terri Su-May

“…Prototypicality ratings were also positively related to the feature frequencies obtained in Study 1, supporting the notion that feature prototypicality is associated with ease of recall. Next, a reaction time (RT) task in Study 3 (n = 162) showed that participants were quicker to confirm central features (e.g., “Stressed”, “Sensitive”) as typical of workplace criers, compared to peripheral features (e.g., “Incompetent”, “Unmotivated”). …”

High-speed and high-photocurrent InP-based uni-traveling-carrier photodiode by Meng, Qianqian

“…In our UTC-PD structure, a novel dipole-doped structure, in combination with a setback layer were employed at the interface between InGaAs/InP absorption and collection layers to suppress the current blocking effect. The new structure eases epi-layer growth and device fabrication. The design of layer thickness and layer structure has been optimized to maximize the 3-dB bandwidth of UTC-PD with dipole-doped structure without compromising the responsivity. …”

From phosphate to refugees: the offshore refugee boom in the Republic of Nauru by Morris, J

“…Based on the propensity for governments to outsource industrial operations, I suggest that alternative framings are necessary to combat the ease with which industrial processing modulates to new extraction sites.…”

Layer-by-layer assembled micro and nano carriers for drug delivery applications by Mutukumaraswamy Shaillender

“…Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technology involves the consecutive assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes based on electrostatic interactions onto charged template surfaces. The relative ease of preparation through the LbL self- assembly, accurate control over the wall thickness as well as the flexibility in the choice of constituents qualifies these carriers to constitute an influential domain in the field of particulate technology. …”

Health monitoring, lifetimes estimation, and thermal management of IGBT-based power converters by Mohamed Halick Mohamed Sathik

“…The proposed health monitoring and thermal control techniques prevent the power devices only from wear-out failure mechanisms. However, the power devices used in power converters also fail due to over-current or short-circuit current caused by external factors such as power supply transients, mechanical overload, load transients, etc. …”
