A standardised fraction 1 (SF1) from clinacanthus nutans attenuates the stemness of cervical cancer stem-like cells via inhibition of notch1 signalling by Ismail, Faridah

“…However, no study has reported its effect on CSCs. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the antitumour effect of SF1, a semi-purified fraction from C. nutans, on CSCs derived from cervical cancer (CCSCs) and the underlying mechanisms. …”

Discrete time optimal control and its applications in power systems by Zhang, Hehong

“…Speci fically, the field PMUs data are filtered using the proposed TD based on the DTOC algorithm. To test its effectiveness, I compare the system emergency control schemes' solutions and the corresponding control results during cascading failures based on the filtered data and the noise-free PMUs data, respectively. …”

Learning to generalize to new tasks/domains with limited data by Peng, Danni

“…The method is evaluated in two real-world application domains: few-shot image classification and user cold-start recommendations, to demonstrate its effectiveness. Meta-learning derives common knowledge by assuming that all tasks are available at once. …”

Study of planning and operational aspects of tidal in-stream power generation by Mahda J. Jahromi

“…Another paper which I found very inspiring at the beginning of this work was the paper by Biswarup, et. al. of the Imperial College of London who did a thorough investigation on the performance of an Archimedes Wave Swing (AWS) and its effect on the neighboring networks[19]. Although the paper was centered on a wave converting system and not tidal current generators, the author found it very useful due to the many similarities that exist between the two. …”

Towards robust sensing and recognition : from statistical learning to transfer learning by Yang, Jianfei

“…The proposed platform is an IoT-enabled platform which leverages off-the-shelf (COTS) WiFi routers for sensing. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we develop an occupancy detection system and a sedentary behavior monitoring system, and evaluate their performance in real-world scenarios. …”
