Monitoring the drying process of glutinous rice using hyperspectral imaging coupled with multivariate analysis by Jimoh, Kabiru Ayobami, Hashim, Norhashila, Shamsudin, Rosnah, Che Man, Hasfalina, Jahari, Mahirah

“…Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an optical technology that harnesses the combination of imaging and spectroscopy techniques for quantifying and qualifying the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials. The visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) HSI system with a spectral range of 450–1000 nm was employed in this study to monitor the moisture content of glutinous rice during hot-air drying. …”

Hidden order beyond hyperuniformity in critical absorbing states by Zheng, Yuanjian, Parmar, Anshul D. S., Ciamarra, Massimo Pica

“…Disordered hyperuniformity is a description of hidden correlations in point distributions revealed by an anomalous suppression in fluctuations of local density at various coarse-graining length scales. In the absorbing phase of models exhibiting an active-absorbing state transition, this suppression extends up to a hyperuniform length scale that diverges at the critical point. …”

Implementation of Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm for vehicle routing by Pang, Jacquelyn Jiaqi

“…ST Engineering and NTU has also been working on autonomous vehicles in hopes that it can take over the public transport systems in the near future. My project thus focuses on traffic simulations within Singapore to find the shortest path between any source and destination as this would reduce fuel consumption and allow more passengers to take on the service within a time frame. …”

What are the intensities and line-shapes of the twenty four polarization terms in coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy? by Niu, Kai, Lee, Soo-Ying

“…It is shown that in fs/ps CARS, for the two cases of off-resonance CARS in toluene and resonanceCARS in rhodamine 6G, where we use a fs pump pulse, a fs Stokes pulse and a ps probe pulse, we obtain sharp vibrational lines in four of the polarization terms where the pump and Stokes pulses can create a vibrational coherence on the ground electronic state, while the spectral line-shapes of the other twenty terms are broad and featureless. …”

Technological transmission of knowledge in Neolithic northwestern China: mineralogical and chemical analyses of Yangshao and Majiayao painted ware by Spataro, M, Hein, A

“…The analyses were carried out to detect differences or similarities in the chaînes opératoires of ceramic production at the three sites, in particular, to examine the clay types selected to make the three main categories of wares for which Yangshao and Majiayao are known, namely painted fine wares, burnished fine wares, and unpainted coarse wares. The results show that similar raw material selection and processing and technological choices were followed at the three sites to make both fine and coarse wares. …”
