A FPGA-based ultrasonic voice detection platform for whisper to voice reconstruction by Fan, Gaofeng

“…Whisper speech is common for people in private conversion, but is also a side effect for Laryngectomy patients who have had part of, or all of their larynx removed. A novel engineering approach building upon a Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) codec was developed [1] to turn whispers to voice. …”

Simulation and study on cooling plant efficiency in green data centres by Yeo, Keat Kee.

“…The need for redundancy often requires spare capacity components to be factored into the design of the cooling plant, resulting in low chiller efficiency at part load. This study is aimed at developing an understanding of the efficiency of the cooling plant under different redundancy tier requirements and formulating suggestions to implement different chiller configurations to strike a balance between the need for redundancy and energy efficiency. …”

A comparison study of the impact of ZnO nanoparticles and ZnSO4 in wastewater treatment processes by Huang, Xi Tong

“…Although the Zinc (ZnO and ZnSO4) concentration found in the sludge was relatively low for both, the removal efficiency of Zinc from wastewater was in the range of 80% to more than 90% which suggested that removal of nanoparticle through biosorption might still be valid to some extent while a large part of Zinc might likely to be deposited on the wall of bioreactor as observed in this research study. …”

Optimization in liner industry with new sulphur cap regulation by Yan, Zirui

“…Shipping carries more than 90% of the world’s cargo volume, which plays an essential part in the worldwide trade. Although shipping is considered as an environmentally friendly transportation mode, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) still strives to further reduce the environmental impact by shipping activities, hence, the stricter sulphur regulation, which is known as ‘0.5% low sulphur regulation’, will come into force in year 2020. …”

Modulation and green synthesis of metal organic frameworks for higher water uptakes and kinetics : adsorption cooling application by Teo, Benjamin How Wei

“…The key problem with these adsorbents is that most of the water adsorption occurs at too high relative pressures, and the loading difference over the cycle is only a small part of the total adsorption capacity. So, novel adsorbents need to be designed and synthesised. …”

The greening of terminal concessions in seaports by Notteboom, Theo, Lam, Jasmine Siu Lee

“…Not all instruments have the same likeliness of being embraced or implemented by port authorities, in part because of a low perceived contribution, high associated regulation costs, or simply because the port authority is unlikely to have jurisdiction in that specific area. …”

Solvent effect on the folding dynamics and structure of E6-associated protein characterized from Ab initio protein folding simulations by Xu, Zhijun, Lazim, Raudah, Sun, Tiedong, Mei, Ye, Zhang, Dawei

“…On the basis of the close agreement between the calculated helix contents from AHBC simulations and experimental results, we observed based on the presented simulations that the two ends of the peptide may simultaneously take part in the formation of the helical structure at the early stage of folding and finally merge to form a helix with lowest backbone RMSD of about 0.9 Å in 40% 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol solution. …”
