Shi, Z. (author)The cross cultural analysis has increasingly become an important research field. One of its merit is to facilitate understanding how the people from different cultural background make decisions differently. The most famous work is done by Hofstede, who introduce a powerful cultural model with 6 cultural dimensions. However, two of these...master thesis 2016

Shi, Liang (author), Infante Ferreira, C.A. (author), Gerritsen, Jan (author), Kalkman, Hendrine (author)CO2 is a promising refrigerant compared to traditional HFCs due to its insignificant global warming potential and nonthreatening to the ozone layer. It has been used as refrigerant in industrial and commercial refrigeration in recent years. With high compactness and the ability to recover heat, CO2 booster systems have been widely installed in...conference paper 2017

(author)Deltas are widely threatened by sediment starvation and climate change. Erosion potential is an important indicator of delta vulnerability. Here, we investigate the erosion potential of the Yangtze Delta. We found that over the past half century the Yangtze's sediment discharge has decreased by 80% due to the construction of >50,000 dams...journal article 2017

Shi, Q. (author), Zudov, M. A. (author), Qian, Q. (author), Watson, J.D. (author), Manfra, M. J. (author)We investigate quantum Hall stripes under an in-plane magnetic field B in a variable-density two-dimensional electron gas. At filling factor ν=9/2, we observe one, two, and zero Binduced reorientations at low, intermediate, and high densities, respectively. The appearance of these distinct regimes is due to a strong density dependence of the...journal article 2017

(author)We performed effective mass measurements employing microwave-induced resistance oscillation in a tunable-density GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well. Our main result is a clear observation of an effective mass increase with decreasing density, in general agreement with earlier studies which investigated the density dependence of the effective mass...journal article 2017

Shi, L. (author)The energy consumption in the industry field is considerable. Saving energy has great potential in many industrial processes. For example, heat recovery from the spent cooling water can be achieved by applying heat pump technology, and the recovered heat can be used for district heating. Previous study indicates that the compression-resorption...master thesis 2017

Shi, Qian (author)Wind power to cold climate sites is attractive because of favorable wind conditions and low population density. However, icing of wind turbine blades remains one of the main challenges for cold climate sites. Ice formation on wind turbine blades causes several problems, such as the loss of power production, unbalanced loads in drive train and...master thesis 2017

Shi, Yixin (author)This thesis presents a Low-Power Area-Ecient SAR-Assisted Hybrid ADC for ultra-<br/>sound imaging systems. This ADC combines a 5-bit SAR ADC per channel with a 4-bit single-slope ADC that produces the converter's LSBs and is implemented using shared hardware. The number of unit capacitors of the proposed ADC is about 1/16th of that of a 9-bit...master thesis 2017

Shi, X. (author), Verschueren, D.V. (author), Dekker, C. (author)Plasmon resonance biosensors provide ultimate sensitivity at the single-molecule level. This sensitivity is, however, associated with a nanometer-sized confined hotspot, and molecular transport toward the sensor relies on inefficient diffusion. Here, we combine a plasmonic nanoantenna with a solid-state nanopore and demonstrate that single...journal article 2018
