A systematic review on sequence-to-sequence learning with neural network and its models by Yousuf, Hana

“…The primary aim of this report is to enhance the knowledge of the sequence-to-sequence neural network and to locate the best way to deal with executing it. Three models are mostly used in sequence-to-sequence neural network applications, namely: recurrent neural networks (RNN), connectionist temporal classification (CTC), and attention model. …”

Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO₂ reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee Yoon (7179263)

“…The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl⁻ > Br⁻ > I⁻). …”

Secrecy Performance of a RIS-Assisted Wireless Network: A Comprehensive Analysis Under Outdated CSI by Tasneem Alshamaseen (22392382)

“…The obtained results demonstrate that the adopted system can achieve an acceptable SOP level even with 10% outdated CSI (i.e., <i>ρ</i>=0.9 ). This resilience indicates that the system can reduce channel estimation frequency to reconfigure the RIS, thus decreasing overall system overhead and complexity and improving energy efficiency. …”

Epibenthic communities from offshore platforms in the Arabian Gulf are structured by platform age and depth by Felipe Torquato (14158845)

“…The lowest number of functional groups occurred in the early ages (2–3 years old), and some groups either increased or decreased their frequency and abundance along the years. …”

Run Rules-Based EWMA Charts for Efficient Monitoring of Profile Parameters by Ali Yeganeh (16624998)

“…The proposed EWMAR chart with run rules exhibits a much better performance in detecting small and decreasing shifts than the other competing charts. Finally, an example from multivariate manufacturing industry is employed to illustrate the superiority of the EWMAR chart with run rules.…”

Annual performance assessment of an off‐grid and self‐sufficient sustainable climate refuge for hot arid climates by Fariha Niaz (14778319)

Engineering the Surface and Mechanical Properties of Water Desalination Membranes Using Ultralong Carbon Nanotubes by Yehia M. Manawi (18091207)

“…More pronounced effect on membrane’s mechanical properties was observed due to compatibility of CNTs with PS matrix when compared to other factors (i.e., changes in the CNT aspect ratio). The water contact angle for PS membranes incorporated with commercial CNT sharply decreased from 73° to 53° (membrane hydrophilization) for membranes with 0.1 and 1.0 wt. % of CNTs, while for the same loading of produced CNTs the water contact angles for the membrane samples increased from 66° to 72°. …”
