Examining time-to-transport decisions in Emergency Medical Services by Hassan Farhat (9000509)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">Figure 1 indicates the transport probabilities as inferred from the Cox regression. As the time spent on scene increases (due to various reasons, among them: spending more time providing clinical treatment and health education because the patient decided not to go to the hospital, or the crew spending more time convincing the patient to go to the hospital by explaining the potential complications of their condition and the potential outcomes of a refusal to go to hospital), the probability of transporting the patient decreases. …”

Ferroelectric Properties and Electrocaloric Effect in Dy2O3 Substitution on Lead-Free (Na0.5 Bi0.5)0.94 Ba0.06TiO3 Ceramic by Turki, O.

“…We report the impact of dysprosium (Dy, with y = 0.01, 0.02, 0.05 and 0.08) substitution in (Na0.5 Bi0.5)0.94 Ba0.06TiO3 (NBT-6BT) lead-free ceramics. The structural, vibrational dielectric, ferroelectric and electrocaloric (EC) properties of all samples were systematically investigated. …”

Dynamic Properties of Water Confined in Graphene-Based Membrane: A Classical Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study by One-Sun Lee (1291293)

“…<div><p>We performed molecular dynamics simulations of water molecules inside a hydrophobic membrane composed of stacked graphene sheets. By decreasing the density of water molecules inside the membrane, we observed that water molecules form a droplet through a hydrogen bond with each other in the hydrophobic environment that stacked graphene sheets create. …”

Reinforcement R-learning model for time scheduling of on-demand fog placement by Farhat, Peter

“…Nevertheless, taking a real-life scenario, the cloud might limit the number of fogs to place for minimizing the complexity of monitoring a large number of fogs and cost for volunteers that do not offer their resources for free. This implies choosing the right time and best volunteer to create a fog which the cloud can benefit from is essential. …”
