Molecular dynamics simulation: effect of sulfation on the structure of curdlan triple helix in aqueous solution by Gao, Yufu, Feng, Xuan, Zhang, Ran, Xiao, Jie, Huang, Qingrong, Li, Jiawei, Shi, Tongfei

“…When substitutions occur at both the O4 and O6 sites simultaneously (O4,6), the electrostatic repulsion between numerous sulfate groups introduces considerable energy perturbation to the triple helix, leading to alterations in the glucan chain conformation and consequent destabilization of the triple helix structure. Meanwhile, we find that even if the sulfation substitution is performed at the same substitution sites, the difference in the degree of substitution also has an impact on the triple helix stability. …”

Finite element analysis of shoulder rotator cuff by Lee, Kenneth Jun Rui.

“…The author has also inputted different possible parameters such as element type, element size in order to carry out mesh refinements to find out the optimal end results. At the end, the best method, which will be decided after considering its implicated cost factors, will be handed over for further improvisations such as change in direction of forces and utilized for future use. …”

Simulation and investigation of Gradient Refractive Index Profile (GRIP) and photonic effect in micro-fluidic waveguide of different geometries by Zhang, Ruiyang

“…With the aid of professional software COMSOL’s Microfuildic model and RSoft’s beamprop module by designing liquid core and liquid cladding waveguides of different shapes including rectangle ,up-trapezoid, down-trapezoid, para-saddle and para-rhombus and injecting deionized water with refractive index of 1.335 into liquid core and 5M CaCl2 solution into liquid core at from 1ul/ min to 15 ul / min , the GRIN profiles and optical effects like chirped focusing and interference vary accordingly .The purpose of the study is to find the pattern of how the GRIN profile and optical effects change with the composition ,flow rate and shape.…”

Effects of automation transparency on trust and diagnostic decision making with an automated decision aid during medical emergencies by Mohamed Syahid Hassan

“…Novice doctors in a simulated emergency diagnosis task used automated decision aids with different transparency configurations, manipulated by the presence of two transparency features, a list of Key Diagnostic Cues that explain its recommendation and a Likelihood Rating that displays how likely the aid thinks its recommendation is correct. The study did not find any significant evidence that the different transparency configurations improved appropriate trust in the aid’s recommendations. …”

An inexact non-interior continuation method for variational inequalities and differential properties of euclidean projection onto power cone by Khanh Hien, Le Thi

“…The second part of this thesis studies differential properties of Euclidean projection onto the high dimensional power cones $K^{\alpha}_{m,n}=\{(x,z)\in \mathbb{R}^m_+ \times\mathbb{R}^n, \norm{z} \leq \prod\limits_{i=1}^m x_i^{\alpha_i}\}$, where $0<\alpha_i$ and $\sum\limits_{i=1}^m \alpha_i=1$. We find projector's formulas, its directional derivative formulas, its first order Fr\'echet derivative formulas for $K^{\alpha}_{m,n}$. …”
