Peak mooring forces in the horizontal interlaced multi-layered moored floating pipe breakwater

Effect of thermal annealing and chemical treatments on secondary electron emission properties of atomic layer deposited MgO

This study reports on the secondary electron emission (SEE) performance of atomic layer deposited MgO films, with thicknesses in the range from 5 to 25 nm, for the application in the Timed Photon Counter. In this novel, photodetector MgO is utilized as a material for the fabrication of ultrathin transmission dynodes (tynodes). Two different...

Application of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for cycling clothing

Cycling in hot and humid environment is demanding for the body. Olympics 2020 will be in Tokyo and the weather is expected to be hot and humid. Performance of the cyclist will be below par if they do not adopt various strategies to keep themselves cool. This project focuses on the development of new jersey with PVA fabric integrated in it to...

Social-aware Federated Learning: Challenges and Opportunities in Collaborative Data Training

Federated learning (FL) is a promising privacy-preserving solution to build powerful AI models. In many FL scenarios, such as healthcare or smart city monitoring, the user's devices may lack the required capabilities to collect suitable data, which limits their contributions to the global model. We contribute social-aware federated learning...
