Nitrogen-decorated carbon dots (NCDs) for thermally conductive smart windows by Tan, Frankie Ting Feng

“…The heat will diffuse along the glass panel, towards the heat sink located at the edges. This will lead to a reduction in the cross-sectional conductive heat transfer which will decrease the amount of heat entering from the outside to the inside surface of the window glass panel. …”

Integral modelling of brine discharge in coastal waters by Teo, Wei Qiang.

“…The brine discharge is considered a negatively buoyant jet compared to the ambient water because it is heavier and thus will sink to the sea bed. There had been numerous researches on positively buoyant jet in history but only few on negatively buoyant jet. …”

Immersion two-phase liquid cooling of data cards by Lioewanta, Sebastian Markus

“…The addition of a heat sink during immersion cooling vastly reduced temperature levels due to the increase in surface area in contact with the liquid. …”

Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…Consequently, several mechanisms have been proposed to explain their persistence, including negative density dependence, demographic compensation, vital rate buffering, asynchronous responses of subpopulations to environmental heterogeneity, and fine-scale source-sink dynamics. Persistence of seeds in a seed bank, which is often ignored in models of population dynamics, can also buffer small populations against collapse. …”

Cadmium isotope fractionation during adsorption onto calcite by Peng, H, Liu, P, Zheng, H, Belshaw, NS, Hu, S, Zhu, Z

“…This work looked at the fractionation of Cd isotopes during Cd adsorption onto calcite, which is an important sink of Cd but isotopic behaviour has only previously been investigated in co-precipitation experiments. …”

Scheduled activity energy-aware distributed cluster- based routing algorithm for wireless sensor networks with non-uniform node distribution by Nokhanji, Nooshin

“…The main and definitive target of routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is passing data from the sensor nodes to the sink in most energy efficient manner besides considering the accuracy of data. …”

Real time analysis of social behavior from video and kinect recordings by Ramasamy, Pandi Ramesh

“…Finally,analysis will be performed using pattern recognition algorithms and machine learning classifiers to detect the emotion of the subject.In this project,machine learning classifiers such as K-nearest neighbors,Naive Bayes and C4.5 Decision tree learning has been used. The prime aim is to pin point the most seemly machine learning classifier for obtaining highest accuracy for classification.…”
