Quantum information entropy by Pi, Shuheng

“…The information entropy becomes increasingly important when dealing with data compression and cryptography in this data-driven era which requires efficient management of the big data and effective extraction of meaningful information. Hence, in this final year project report, the author introduces the new representation of von Neumann entropy with less computational effort and new representations of Rényi and Tsalli in the quantum information domain. …”

A healthy amount of privacy: quantifying privacy concerns in medicine by Cofone, IC

“…This method provides a way to objectively value privacy concerns and balance them with health benefits. Hence, it can guide doctors and policymakers into incorporating privacy considerations and making better choices regarding e-health programs. …”

Fishing skill in developing country fisheries: The Kedah, Malaysia trawl fishery by Viswanathan, K. Kuperan, Omar, Ishak, Jeon, Yongil, Kirkley, James, Squires, Dale, Susilowati, Indah

“…The question arises for fishery managers as to whether or not there are observable and measurable attributes of the skipper or vessel that can be monitored and regulated to account for skipper skill and, hence, this source of fishing capacity. Equating technical efficiency with skipper skill, this paper evaluates technical efficiency and skipper skill in the Kedah, Malaysia, trawl fishery to address this issue. © 2002 Marine Resources Foundation.…”

Evaluation of patient dose during multi-catheter insertion in CT-guided interstitial liver brachytherapy by Sivaprakasam, Puviya

“…Numerous studies have acknowledged the dose received during brachytherapy, however, the dose received during CT-guided multi-catheter insertion lacks in discussion, hence, the optimisation of the procedure is presented by investigating various aspects of the procedure. …”

Parallel transmission technologies for imaging the brain and body with 7 tesla MRI by Kent, JL

“…</p> <p>Mapping many individual transmit channels is time-consuming, hence a method to accelerate the acquisition of B1+ maps for the entire transmit array over a large volume was also explored. …”

The onset of convection driven by buoyancy effects caused by various modes of transient heat conduction: Part I. Transient Rayleigh numbers by Tan, Ka Kheng, Thorpe, Rex B

“…It is found that the onset of convection can be predicted from a maximum transient Ra if its corresponding Biot number (Bi) is known. Hence the critical times and critical depths for stable heat conduction in fluids are obtained. …”
