Analytical approximations of surface fields induced on convex scatters by exteriorly incident scalar fields by Nel, W J F

“…It is assumed that the unknoWn density function is an analytical function on the boundary of the scatterer, and can therefore be expanded as a Taylor series at any point of the surface. …”

Cryptonetworks - The incentive-based Economics of Blockchain by Hennessy, Seamus

“…Cryptonetworks can have an impact on the business models of firms, both in terms of cost structure and value creation. By blending the functionality of centralised platforms with the community-orientated nature of the original open protocols of the internet, cryptonetworks enable value creation to be correctly assigned to the actual content creators through tokens. …”

The design and implementation of a wideband digital radio receiver by Van Dyk, Clifford Leonard

“…Advantages of this technology include increased performance and functionality, as well as reduced cost. Wideband receivers place the heaviest demands on both mixed signal and digital signal processing technology, requiring high spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) and signal processing bandwidths. …”

Optimal energy management for a grid-tied solar PV-battery microgrid: A reinforcement learning approach by Muriithi, Grace

“…Unlike the Q-learning method, which updates the Q-function using a lookup table (which limits its scalability and overall performance in stochastic optimization), the DQN method uses a deep neural network that approximates the Q- function via statistical regression. …”

Advantages of MesoRex shunt compared with distal splenorenal shunt for extrahepatic portal vein occlusion in children by Khamag, Omer

“…To determine and compare the shunt success rate, defined as longterm patency at 24 months of the MesoRex shunt and distal splenorenal shunt, the factors that could have influenced the patency of the Rex vein and the effect of these procedures on the long-term synthetic liver function. Methods: This study followed a retrospective study design, conducted at a single centre documenting pre- and post-operative data in 21 children, 14 MRS and 7 DSRS, All patients presented to RCWMCH with EHPVO over an 18-year period (2001-2019) were eligible for inclusion either for MRS or DSRS. …”
