Development of a vision-based gesture human-computer interface by Lim, Chun Ping.

“…From the evaluations, it was concluded that the two key modules, which are the skin segmentation by codebook method and the Kalman tracker, are robust. This in turn translates into the robustness of the VG HCI.…”

Enviro-toons : what do parents think about it? by Goh, Jeannette

“…With children’s methods of learning growing increasingly dependent on media, it comes as no surprise that when academics needed to find out what children know about nature, they would turn to that outlet. Within children’s media, there has been an academic curiosity in the area of animated programming, called enviro-toons, shorthand for ‘environmental cartoons’. …”

Optimising the surveillance and control of communicable diseases: the effects of population heterogeneity on early outbreak transmission dynamics by Lovell-Read, F

“…In Part II of this thesis, we turn to the context of plant disease to explore how early detection monitoring for invasive pathogens can be improved. …”

Expressions of grief on the early modern stage by Welch, K

“…Mourning in the theatre occurs out of place: testing classbased mourning scripts; moving up and down the vertical axis of the stage; performing a transitory state of emotion through transitory gestures; deploying submissive poses that turn out to hold surprising theatrical and strategic power.…”

The perception of medical students on the usefulness of the respiratory ventilatory augmented reality (ResVAR) application for learning the respiratory system by Saat, Azmah, O.K. Rahmat, Rahmita Wirza, Ab Razak, Nur Izah, Abas, Razif, Mohd Thani, Suryati

“…About 88% of clinical students and 98% of preclinical students said that the ResVAR helped them better focus on the subject, and in turn they gained a better understanding and image of the respiratory system. …”

Molecular characterization of microbial interactions with labile dissolved organic matter by Halloran, Kathryn H.

“…More complete characterization of dissolved metabolites is therefore a standing challenge in the field. This in turn leaves many open questions with respect to the specificity of microbe-DOM interactions and the biotic and abiotic drivers of those interactions. …”

Interplay of Transition Metals and Noncovalent Interactions in C–H Activation Catalysis by Vennelakanti, Vyshnavi

“…We curate an experimental data set of 95 Fe(II) SCO complexes and predict SCO behavior using DFT with the aim of identifying the best performing functional. This in turn sets the stage to design SCO complexes with tailed properties such as those that exhibit SCO behavior at room temperature. …”

Comparative systems biology analysis to study the mode of action of the isothiocyanate compound iberin on pseudomonas aeruginosa by Givskov, Michael, Nielsen, Thomas E., Tolker-Nielsen, Tim, Tan, Sean Yang-Yi, Liu, Yang, Chua, Song Lin, Vejborg, Rebecca Munk, Jakobsen, Tim Holm, Chew, Su Chuen, Li, Yingying, Yang, Liang

“…Taken together, the findings suggest that the mode of QS inhibition in iberin is through downregulation of the Gac/Rsm QS network, which in turn leads to the repression of QS-regulated virulence factors, such as pyoverdine, chitinase, and protease IV. …”

PPARβ/δ agonism upregulates forkhead box A2 to reduce inflammation in C2C12 myoblasts and in skeletal muscle by Phua, Wendy Wen Ting, Tan, Wei Ren, Yip, Yun Sheng, Hew, Ivan Dongzheng, Wee, Jonathan Wei Kiat, Cheng, Hong Sheng, Leow, Melvin Khee Shing, Wahli, Walter, Tan, Nguan Soon

“…Using PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 upregulates FoxA2, which in turn, attenuates the production of proinflammatory cytokines and reduces the infiltration of CD45+ immune cells in two mouse models of muscle inflammation, systemic LPS and intramuscular injection of carrageenan, which mimic localized exercise-induced inflammation. …”

Observation of an acoustic octupole topological insulator by Xue, Haoran, Ge, Yong, Sun, Hong-Xiang, Wang, Qiang, Jia, Ding, Guan, Yi-Jun, Yuan, Shou-Qi, Chong, Yidong, Zhang, Baile

“…Recent theories have generalised the concept of quantised dipoles to multipoles, resulting in the discovery of multipole topological insulators which exhibit a hierarchy of multipole topology: a quantised octupole moment in a three-dimensional bulk induces quantised quadrupole moments on its two-dimensional surfaces, which in turn induce quantised dipole moments on one-dimensional hinges. …”
