Shi, W. (author)As a more convenient alternative to conductive charging technology, wireless charging is seen as a key technology drive for transportation electrification. In electric vehicle (EV) battery charging applications, wireless power is transferred through a magnetic link, so it is referred to as inductive power transfer (IPT). One advantage of IPT...doctoral thesis 2023

Shi, W. (author)High efficiency, low cost, and long stability are three key factors for the wide application of photovoltaics (PV) which are currently intensively studied in order to meet the increasing global renewable energy demand. Currently, the PV market is mainly based on silicon. However, solar cells based on silicon may not be capable to meet the long...doctoral thesis 2019

Shi, L. (author)Nowadays more and more large composites are used to replace the traditional metallic structural materials in the industries. However, for manufacturing the thick thermoset composites, the size not only influences the mechanical properties in the completed products, but also the core temperature overshoot generated during the curing reaction....doctoral thesis 2016

Shi, H. (author)Compared to thermoset composites, thermoplastic composites are drawing more and more attention by aircraft industries not only due to their excellent material properties but also due to their potentials to reduce cycle time and structure cost by using low-cost manufacturing technologies such as welding. Resistance welding has been regarded as...doctoral thesis 2014

Shi, H. (author)With the rapid development in wireless devices, applications and networks, radio frequencies have become scarce resources. Therefore, it is critical to make efficient use of the radio frequencies. A promising way to solve this problem is the use of cognitive radio (CR). In CR, radio frequencies are allocated to licensed users, also called...doctoral thesis 2014

Shi, Y. (author)Language modeling plays a critical role in natural language processing and understanding. Starting from a general structure, language models are able to learn natural language patterns from rich input data. However, the state-of-the-art language models only take advantage of words themselves, which are not sufficient to characterize the language...doctoral thesis 2014

Shi, Y. (author)In this thesis we report the results of our research on recommender systems, which addresses some of the critical scientific challenges that still remain open in this domain. Collaborative filtering (CF) is the most common technique of predicting the interests of a user by collecting preference information from many users. In order to determine...doctoral thesis 2013

Shi, L. (author)This thesis presents a performance investigation of newly-developed ultra-shallow junction photodiodes (PureB-diodes) for ultraviolet (UV) radiation detection. The photodiodes are fabricated by pure boron chemical vapor deposition (PureB CVD) technology, which can provide nanometer-thin boron capping layer and nanometer-deep defect-free p+n...doctoral thesis 2013

Shi, W. (author)Reducing fuel consumption from dredge vessels is always one of the priorities of the ship builder and the dredge contractor. In addition there is an increased awareness worldwide regarding exhaust emissions. CO2, NOx and SOx currently are or will in future be regulated strictly by international legislation and local authorities. Looking at a...doctoral thesis 2013

Shi, N. (author)Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology offers an unprecedented opportunity to further accelerate the evolution of wireless communication and expand the application landscape by enabling outstanding capabilities. UWB radio is fundamentally different from most radio technologies, e.g., Bluetooth, WLAN, etc. UWB has many forms. A promising but, not well...doctoral thesis 2010
