Development of a vision-based gesture human-computer interface by Lim, Chun Ping.

“…With a few reasonable assumptions, this stage was achieved with 3 image processing techniques, namely background subtraction by codebook method, skin segmentation and contour convexity finding. To enhance the robustness of the system, a variant codebook method had been created to be used in skin segmentation. …”

Pedestrian, cyclist and motorist behaviour and interactions at school zones by Wong, Zhi Hao

“…This research project investigated the effectiveness of the safety levels within several school zones with ESZ schemes using site audits and video observations. Findings have shown that the selected school zones are consistent in providing road safety for the road users as no hazardous behaviour from motorists was observed during observational periods. …”

Development of an air conditioning compressor for a 2-in-1 electric motor for electric vehicles by N. Satheesh Kumar

“…A simulation based study has been performed on the 2-in-1 motor drivetrain architecture and the analysis point that cruise range of EV can be improved by 3.2%. Based on the findings, it is evident that the integration of the air-conditioning compressor with the traction drive results in enhancing the energy capturing capacity of the regenerative braking mechanism and decreases the power consumed from the battery. …”

The role of fibroblasts in cancer progression, therapy resistance and field cancerization by Chan, Jeremy Soon Kiat

“…Importantly, oxidatively transformed fibroblasts retained their tumor-promoting capacity when adoptively transferred into tumor xenografts. Therefore, the findings reported in this thesis suggest that future anticancer therapies should consider the stromal context of tumors. …”

Development of immune-modulatory RNAS to regulate RIG-I-like receptors mediated antiviral immune response for therapy and vaccination by Yong, Hui Yee

“…From these hairpin dsRNAs, the shortest hairpin required to activate type I interferon signalling is the RNA with 10 perfectly base paired stem RNA (3p10L). From these findings, mismatch along the stem of the RNA was introduced to create a guanosine insertion along the stem of the 3p10L RNA and enhanced type I interferon signalling in both HEK-Lucia™ RIG-I cells and THP1-Dual™ with the guanosine insertion at the position 9 of 3p10L (3p10LG9) were observed. …”

Effective antibodies immobilization and functionalized nanoparticles in a quartz-crystal microbalance-based immunosensor for the detection of parathion by Della Ventura, Bartolomeo, Iannaccone, Marco, Funari, Riccardo, Pica Ciamarra, Massimo, Altucci, Carlo, Capparelli, Rosanna, Roperto, Sante, Velotta, Raffaele

“…A pesticide like parathion (M = 292 Da) is a typical example of contaminant for which a signal amplification procedure is desirable. Methods/Findings: The ballasting of the analyte by gold nanoparticles has been already applied to heavy target as proteins or bacteria to improve the limit of detection. …”

Interface energetics and dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites by Goh, Teck Wee

“…Firstly, the interface energetics of FAPbI3-based perovskites with organic charge extraction layers showed apparent upward band bending, but its origin is unexpectedly due to presence of δ-FAPbI3. This finding implicates solar cell operation as it causes inefficient extraction of photoexcited electrons to the PCBM. …”

An epigenetic locus associated with loss of smell in COVID-19 by Aslan, Elif Sibel, White, Kenneth, Meral, Gulsen, Akcay, Zeyneb Nur, Altundag, Aytug, Gur, Savas, Dokur, Mehmet, Baktir, Mehmet Akif, Batur, Lutfiye Karcioglu

“…Results: Using quantitative analysis, we found significantly lower levels of DNA methylation in the UGT1A1 locus in the anosmia group compared to the normosmia group, with a 14% decrease in median methylation values in patients with smell loss (p < 0.0001). These findings highlight potential epigenomic alterations in the UGT1A1 gene that may contribute to the pathogenesis of anosmia following COVID-19 infection. …”
