Regularized Class-Specific Subspace Classifier
No full text
In this paper, we mainly focus on how to achieve the translated subspace representation for each class, which could simultaneously indicate the distribution of the associated class and the differences from its complementary classes. By virtue of the reconstruction problem, the class-specific subspace classifier (CSSC) problem could be represented as a series of biobjective optimization problems, which minimize and maximize the reconstruction errors of the related class and its complementary classes, respectively. Besides, the regularization term is specifically introduced to ensure the whole system's stability. Accordingly, a regularized class-specific subspace classifier (RCSSC) method can be further proposed based on solving a general quadratic ratio problem. The proposed RCSSC method consistently converges to the global optimal subspace and translation under the variations of the regularization parameter. Furthermore, the proposed RCSSC method could be extended to the unregularized case, which is known as unregularized CSSC (UCSSC) method via orthogonal decomposition technique. As a result, the effectiveness and the superiority of both proposed RCSSC and UCSSC methods can be verified analytically and experimentally.</p

Multiscale Simulation Method Development and Application in Two-Dimensional Functional Materials
No full textThe unique properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials make them the potential solutions
to a wide variety of engineering challenges, especially in electronic device engineering. In
order to realize their application potentials, three tasks must be fulfilled, namely the thorough understanding of the material properties, the suitable application design, and synthesis
route development for the mass production of the materials. Currently, the first two tasks
are in relatively mature stages; however, the bottom-up synthesis method development of 2D
materials, especially 2D compound materials, is still at an early stage, due to a limited theoretical understanding of the mechanisms of the submonolayer growth of the 2D crystalline
compounds. In this dissertation, the author presents the development and application of
multiple simulation tools, including density functional theory, kinetic Monte Carlo method,
and phase field method to study the growth mechanism of 2D compounds. Transition metal
dichalcogenides (TMDs) are taken as a representative example. The multiscale simulation
methods can be used to analyze the nucleation and growth processes during the deposition
of TMDs. The formation and influence of material imperfections, such as point defects,
metal clustering, screw dislocations, etc., are also studied with these simulation tools. With
the help of the established simulation toolbox, the author contributes to the understanding
of the physics behind this complex catalog of atomic processes involved in the synthesis of
TMDs. The simulation tools and the results thereof provide guidance to the experimental
efforts, and have supported the joint efforts towards the realization of large-scale production
of electronic-grade 2D semiconductors. In addition, the author also presents his theoretic
works on the investigation of electric properties of 2D functional materials and their contact/combination systems, the novel device design based on these understandings, and the
method pathfinding in neural-networks based interatomic potentials. The studies presented
in this dissertation, from one facet, exhibit the wide application potential of multiscale simulation tools on materials science research and engineering

Semantic characerisation of expressions chcąc nie chcąc and mimo woli
No full textThe article discusses lexical units chcąc nie chcąc and mimo woli, which are used in contemporary Polish. Firstly, the author justifies why she considers chcąc nie chcąc and mimo woli as lexical units. Later, she describes features of the expressions under discussion by showing restrictions in their lexical collocations. Among other things, the author investigates whether there is a component communicating necessity in the expression chcąc nie chcąc and whether the unit mimo woli refers to a moment preceding the initation of an action. The analysis conducted in the article shows that when we describe an activity with the expression mimo woli, we declare that somebody did not decide on initating it. Whereas the expression chcąc nie chcąc, states that something caused a given action and that it was not the will of the person who initiated it to do so. At the end of the article, the author presents the semantic explications of the expressions studied
