Investigation into the mechanisms of gas sensing using carbon nanotube electronic devices by Fam, Derrick Wen Hui

“…Since the CNTs used were a mixture of semiconducting and metallic ones, therefore in the second study, pure nanotubes were used. It was discovered that the sensing mechanisms of semiconducting tubes were much different from that of metallic tubes with the former showing more sensitivity. …”

Solution growth and characterization of ZnO nanostructures by Koh, Xue Li

“…Although impure ZnO nanostructures are obtained when the reaction time is set at 24 h, when the reaction time is increased to 72 h, pure ZnO nano-flakes can be obtained. Large pore density is observed in as-synthesized ZnO nano-flakes with high temperature synthesis. …”

Hydrogels from polymer for biomedical applications by Teo, Man Ru

“…This study would focus on the effect of calcium (Ca2+) or magnesium (Mg2+) cations to minimize, enlarge or remove the double peak of the endothermic curve shown on pure 2wt% kappa-carrageenan. The effect of the Ca2+ or Mg2+ on the thermoreversible gelation properties of kappa-carrageenan were studied using mirco-differential scanning calorimetry (micro-DSC) and rheology. …”

Robust inference of memory structure for efficient quantum modeling of stochastic processes by Ho, Matthew, Gu, Mile, Elliott, Thomas J.

“…A growing body of work has established the modeling of stochastic processes as a promising area of application for quantum technologies; it has been shown that quantum models are able to replicate the future statistics of a stochastic process while retaining less information about the past than any classical model must, even for a purely classical process. Such memory-efficient models open a potential future route to study complex systems in greater detail than ever before and suggest profound consequences for our notions of structure in their dynamics. …”

Machine learning-aided and SAT-aided cryptanalysis of symmetric-key primitives by Tu, Yi

“…This thesis focuses on the cryptanalysis of block ciphers and hash functions assisted by tools including automatic tools and machine learning techniques, and shows the advantages of machine learning-aided and SAT-aided cryptanalysis over pure classical cryptanalysis. Firstly, regarding Keccak-f is the permutation used in the NIST SHA-3 hash function standard, we introduce a classical algorithm to exhaustively search for 3-round trail cores of Keccak-f [1600]. …”
