Experimental and numerical studies of S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns by Su, Andi, Liang, Yating, Zhao, Ou

“…The assessment results indicated that the design buckling curves in both the European code and Australian standard yield rather conservative resistance predictions when used for S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns failing by minor-axis flexural buckling, while the design buckling curve in American specification results in overall accurate and consistent flexural buckling resistance predictions, though the predicted resistances are marginally conservative for those relatively short S960 ultra-high strength steel welded I-section columns with member non-dimensional slendernesses from 0.6 to 1.0. …”

Behaviour and design of hot-rolled stainless steel channel section members by Li, Shuai

“…The obtained experimental and numerical data were then employed to assess the accuracy of the existing design rules for hot-rolled stainless steel channel section members, as given in the European code and American specification. The assessment results revealed that the current design codes result in conservative cross-section resistance predictions, but scattered member resistance predictions with both conservative and unsafe results, mainly owing to the lack of proper consideration of the pronounced material strain hardening and nonlinear material property of stainless steel in the design. …”

An epigenetic analysis of planarian stem cells by Dattani, A

“…Transcriptomic studies have revealed the genes needed to both maintain NB pluripotency and ensure correct lineage specification during differentiation. However, these studies have not elucidated how this regulation of expression is controlled at the epigenetic level, and in particular by diverse histone modifications. …”

Two models of dark triad traits and self-regulation dilemma predicting IP theft through self-deception by Yeo, Diana Mui Kheng

“…MANOVA and path analysis were used to investigate the model fit of our proposed models on a sample, N=246. Model re-specification was performed, and goodness of fit indices indicated good model fit for both models. …”

Sensorimotor control of Drosophila copulation by Herbert, MR

“…<p>Dipteran insects show a wide range of species-specific mating postures, and interspecific differences in the postures they adopt may reflect sexual selection acting on these traits. …”

High cycle fatigue characterisation and modelling of 316L stainless steel processed by laser powder bed fusion by Zhang, Meng

“…The latter approach allowed the specification of a reduction factor on fatigue life to account for the intrinsic effects of microstructure inhomogeneity, as well as the construction of a modified Basquin equation that incorporates the defect fraction parameter for predicting the effects of lack of fusion defects on the S-N properties. …”

Exploiting LoRaWAN for efficient and resilient IoT networks by Gu, Chaojie

“…Second, given LoRaWAN's communication throughput limitation due to the narrow bandwidth and low duty cycle defined in LoRaWAN specification, this thesis studies how to efficiently maintain the common notion of time among all LoRaWAN end devices. …”

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.…”
