Adaptive management framework for growth response analysis of tomato in controlled environment plant production systems by Shamshiri, Ramin

“…An adaptive management framework (AMF) was developed and used in this study for defining and determining foundation classes (climate control parameters) and objects (tomato crop at different growth stages and light condition) in a bioproduction system like CEPPS. The flexible architecture of the framework with a self-tuning configuration database enables it to work with different culture classes and objects within which many specific scenarios may be modeled and analyzed. …”

Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for healthcare decision-making by Zeng, Zhiwei

“…It is an argumentative methodology that can infuse explainability into the model and generate explanations that are faithful and insightful to the inner workings and internal representations of the model. It follows a “debate-like” process that shares many similarities with the way humans deliberate and make decisions, thereby giving it unique advantages in generating human-understandable explanations. …”

Engineered terahertz emission from spintronic heterostructures: amplitude, phase and chirality by Agarwal, Piyush

“…Therefore, we measured the amplitude of the THz pulse while sweeping the external magnetic field and demonstrated a hysteresis-like loop. Its comparison with the M-H loop measured using the vibrating sample magnetometer showed a remarkable similarity, suggesting THz amplitude to scale proportionally with the magnetization of FM. …”

中国东北人移民新加坡后的语言变化及其社会意义 = Study of the language changes of Chinese Northeastern immigrants as a socio-linguistic Indicator in Singapore by 李思 Li, Si

“…The thesis is also investigated the lexical changes by doing social experiment like “asking the way”. Besides that, it collects data about northeastern immigrants’ personal background, language attitude and social attribution in order to analyse their language changes with reference to 5 different variables such as family background, occupation, education level, age and the length of residence in Singapore. …”
