Single-stage and cascade design of high order multiplierless linear phase FIR filters using genetic algorithm by Ye, Wen Bin, Yu, Ya Jun

“…In a practical filter design problem, when the filter specification is stringent, requiring high filter order and wide coefficient wordlength, GAs often fail to find feasible solutions, because the discrete search space thus constructed is huge and the majority of the solution candidates therein can not meet the specification. …”

Establishment of optimise strategies in production of recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen for chip-based antibody detection approach by Tam, Yew Joon

“…In this, the HBsAg protein plays a vital role as the basic component for anti-HBs detection assays due to its high reactivity and specificity. As such, the present thesis focuses on assessing and optimising key areas related to the downstream processing conditions specifically in the production of HBsAg from recombinant Pichia pastoris and in the establishment of chip-based anti-HBs detection prototype. …”

Production of single-chain variable fragment epidermal growth factor receptor (scFv-EGFR) antibody by Loh, Valerie Kai Li.

“…Results show that the antibody product may not have been produced successfully using the initial expression system due to recurring inconclusive results from purification and characterisation procedures. However, with the use of pSYN1/TG1 expression system and protocol, Western blot results appear to show positive production of scFv-EGFR B10 (synthetic optimized sequence), and specific affinity of the scFv-EGFR B10 antibody product to EGFR is proven.…”
