Three-dimensional artificial liver platforms for drug screening and tissue engineering applications by Ferracci, Gaia

“…Therefore, the overall goal of this dissertation was to develop three-dimensional (3D) liver cell constructs for drug screening, characterized by a 3D in vivo-like liver microarchitecture (i.e., honeycomb organization) and an in vivo-like liver surface composition (i.e., presence of ECM proteins), as these were hypothesized to be the main in vivo-like characteristics required to maintain a differentiated hepatic phenotype in vitro. 3D inverted colloidal crystal (ICC) hydrogels were chosen as the scaffolding structure, as their highly porous architecture, characterized by highly interconnected and uniform cavities arranged in a hexagonal fashion, highly resembles liver lobules organization, and as their simple fabrication process allows mass production. …”

汉语关系从句的教学与习得：基于新加坡 小学华文教材与英汉双语儿童的实证研究 = Acquisition of Chinese relative clauses: a study based on primary school Chinese textbooks and English-Chinese bilingual children in Singapo... by 戴雅雯 Dai, Ya Wen

“…To fill the gap, this study collects data from English-Chinese bilingual children in Singapore and investigates their acquisition of Chinese RC from the following two aspects: (1) examining the different RC types in Singapore primary school textbooks and discussing how their distribution within each primary level reflects the RC teaching arrangements in schools; and (2) investigating children’s actual use of Chinese RC through comprehension and translation language tests, combined with previous research theories to look at ten types of relative clauses: SS, OS, SO, OO, SIO, OIO, SOPREP, OOPREP, SGEN, OGEN. …”

Deep learning based speech enhancement for noise adverse environment by Tan, Zhi Wei

“…Since the spatial information in the multi-channel data is dependent on the sensor array configuration and the source locations (such as the number of sensors, sensor spacing, sensor arrangement, and sensor mismatch) where the publicly available dataset is scarce compared to single-channel ones, U-net-like architecture is employed for faster convergence. …”
