Analysis, modelling and simulation of pop-up laminar structures by Mak, Kin Weng

“…In addition, conditions for flat folding are derived after investigation into the geometry of the structures. While the graphs enable simple representation of pop-up structures without the complexity of geometric designs, the mathematical relationships permit the validation of the structures’ composition and their ability to flat fold. …”

Development and optimization of polystyrene nanoparticle templated optical fiber platform for in vivo surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. by Low, Vway Hau.

“…Morphological characterization of the SERS active surfaces was conducted using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the SERS performances of the fibers were evaluated by studying the signal intensity measured from analyte molecules through a backscattering geometry. Through a comparative analysis, the novel MFON SERS active fiber was proved to have SERS enhancement ability of 25 fold more than the reported gold nanoparticles immobilized SERS active fiber. …”

Theatre of the street : subverting otherness in photography. by Rr Apriani Kartika Dristiningsih.

“…In this discursive process, I will first explain how Cartier-Bresson defines the genre of street photography, where he coined the term the “decisive moment” – the opportune timing where all the elements within his vision form perfect geometry with each other. His photographs will be compared to works by Jeff Wall and Philip-Lorca diCorcia, which not only deviate from the notion of the “decisive moment”, but also thwart the conventions of street photography genre.…”
