Zhang, Xinrui (author)Masonry is one of the most common building materials globally due to its ease of construction, price, durability and fire resistance. Its heterogeneity and orthotropic nature make its mechanical behaviour rather complex, highlighting the importance of an appropriate constitutive model to describe such behaviour accurately. In literature, most of...master thesis 2021

Wolska, Ola (author)Optimal decision trees are not easily improvable in terms of accuracy. However, improving the pre-processing of underlying dataset can be the answer to creating more accurate decision trees. In this paper, multiple methods of binarising datasets are considered and the resulting decision trees compared. The binarisation is divided into two stages...bachelor thesis 2021

Bilmes, Alexander (author), Händel, Alexander K. (author), Volosheniuk, S. (author), Ustinov, Alexey V. (author), Lisenfeld, Jürgen (author)Shadow evaporation is commonly used to micro-fabricate the key element of superconducting qubits—the Josephson junction. However, in conventional two-angle deposition circuit topology, unwanted stray Josephson junctions are created which contribute to dielectric loss. So far, this could be avoided by shorting the stray junctions with a so...journal article 2021
