Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…In this thesis, I propose a conformable ultrasound breast patch (cUSBr-Patch) consisting of a one-dimensional (1D) phased array and a nature-inspired patch design, which offers large-area, deep tissue scanning and multi-angle, repeatable breast imaging while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional ultrasound imaging technologies. I used a Yb/Bi-doped PIN-PMN-PT single crystal as the active element due to its superior piezoelectric properties (d33 = 2,800 pC/N, εr = 7,000, k33 = 0.93). …”

Experimental study on cache-performance optimization for graph storage by Foo, Wei Ling

“…This advantage is beneficial and applicable to graph traversal algorithms when closely related nodes are stored in a cache line. Hao Wei et al. [1] introduced a graph ordering algorithm, Gorder, a greedy procedure to reorder graph nodes in such a way that optimises their placement on a cache line. …”

Optimizing geometry of extruded PMMA microstructured optical fiber preforms by Sia, Johnathan Seng Hong

“…The experiment runs conducted achieve high R-squared value during multiple regression line analysis. This indicate that the optimize parameter of 170.859°C and extrusion speed of 0.3mm/min predicted using the regression line model, has a high probability in achieving a straight preform with 12 clear and distinct hole.…”

Signalling inhibition by ponatinib disrupts productive alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) by Kusuma, Frances Karla, Prabhu, Aishvaryaa, Tieo, Galen, Syed Moiz Ahmed, Dakle, Pushkar, Yong, Wai Khang, Pathak, Elina, Madan, Vikas, Jiang, Yan Yi, Tam, Wai Leong, Kappei, Dennis, Dröge, Peter, Koeffler, H. Phillip, Jeitany, Maya

“…By performing anti-cancer compound library screen on isogenic cell lines and using extrachromosomal telomeric C-circles, as a bona fide marker of ALT activity, we identify a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib that deregulates ALT mechanisms, induces telomeric dysfunction, reduced ALT-associated telomere synthesis, and targets, in vivo, ALT-positive cells. …”
