Designing infrared travelling-wave antennas for environmental sensing by Priyadarshni Manivannan

“…This project researches on an appropriate metamaterial configurationfor the antenna, dependence of frequency splitting on strength of target scatterer and how to steer the system into exceptional point. Then, the perturbation strength of a target scatterer is calculated using MATLABand finally, COMSOL simulation software is used to simulate the cross section of such a nano-antenna that is able to detect changes in the gas molecules in the air. …”

Autonomous navigation system by Au, Yi Xian

“…When using multiple robots, the agents besides steer clear of obstacles but also prevent collisions with one another, the effects of having unknowledgeable or only vaguely understood maps and states estimate drift increases dramatically [11]. …”

Chemical mediation of coral larval settlement by crustose coralline algae by Tebben, J., Motti, C. A, Siboni, Nachshon, Negri, A. P., Harder, T., Steinberg, Peter David, Hatta, Masayuki, Tapiolas, D. M., Schupp, P. J., Kitamura, Makoto

“…These algae-derived fractions induce settlement and metamorphosis at equivalent concentrations as present in CCA, both in small scale laboratory assays and under flow-through conditions, suggesting their ability to act in an ecologically relevant fashion to steer larval settlement of corals. Both compound classes were readily detected in natural samples.…”

Boosting energy efficiency and selectivity of glucose oxidation toward glucuronic acid in high-frequency ultrasound using multicavity CuO catalytic cavitation agents by Xie, Z, Mahendran, V, Jonnalagadda, US, Fan, Q, Su, X, Fischer, AF, Tan, M, Tao, L, Jérôme, F, Kwan, JJ, Valange, S, Choksi, TS, Amaniampong, PN, Liu, W

“…The present study demonstrates that by appropriately controlling the acoustic parameters (e.g. duty cycle, peak negative pressure and irradiation time) and reaction conditions (e.g. gas atmosphere and the addition of catalytic cavitation agent), it is possible to steer the selectivity of sono-oxidation of glucose towards glucuronic acid, the most value-added product, whilst minimizing the energy input to drive the sonochemical oxidation reaction.…”

Memory-efficient approximate three-dimensional beamforming by Rypkema, Nicholas R., Fischell, Erin M., Schmidt, Henrik

“…Software-based conventional beamforming (CBF) forces a trade-off between memory usage and direction resolution, since time delays associated with a set of directions over which the beamformer is steered must be pre-computed and stored, limiting the number of look directions to available platform memory. …”

A study on epidemic modelling using deterministic and stochastic SIR compartmental models by Lim, Lionel Rui Qi

“…Lastly, HOIs were integrated on the networks and a group transmissibility (psc) > pairwise (pT = 0.1) was shown to steer the course of an epidemic and change actual virus reproducibility for different networks, highlighting the need to reduce group interactions to curb epidemic spreading. …”

Competitive intrinsically motivated agents for resource allocation by Zhao, Guopeng

“…In particular, agent’s behaviors in the pursuit of needs address each of the three questions individually: The need of competence drives agents to adapt to the dynamically changing environment, by a constant pursuit of good performance and new skills; The need of relatedness enables agents to provide reliable solutions from unevenly distributed information, by advocating collaborations with other agents to collect and synthesize information; The need of autonomy steers agents in systematically integrating various strategies and behaviors by encouraging them to make their own decisions proactively. …”
