Physics education research: the teaching and learning of quantum mechanics by Lai, Joel Weijia

“…Thus, when physics concepts are taught, students need to have been equipped with the relevant skills in mathematics in their long-term and working memory so that they are not distracted by learning the mathematics while, at the same time, learning the physics. …”

Detection of simultaneous structural problems using multiple structural health monitoring techniques by Yang, Lu

“…Civil infrastructures are built for long-term use spanning several decades. After the construction, cracks, wear and tear, fatigue, creep, etc., will appear anytime during their life span, which significantly affects the capacity of the structure to bear loads. …”

Design and development of intelligent knee brace for monitoring daily activities by Lim, Wen Xi

“…However, due to being engrossed in what they are doing, people can often forget that they need to get up after long period of time. This project explores the design and development of an intelligent knee brace that can detect sitting and standing positions, and remind the user to get up and move around after sitting down for 30 minutes. …”

Super-resolution optical microscopy (simulation study) by Ong, Nicholas Shi Hong

“…This Final Year Project report will provide insight into the Light microscopy technique on how the light are being affected by the changes within the microscope with simulations between Sphere and Elliptic Microbeads to generate ultra-long Photonic Nanojet with a simple, cost effective and easily implemented via the microscope hence it is able to gain enormous attention for super- resolution imaging. …”

Further properties and a fast realization of the iterative truncated arithmetic mean filter by Miao, Zhenwei, Jiang, Xudong

“…It shows that this filter outperforms the median filter in attenuating not only the short-tailed Gaussian noise but also the long-tailed Laplacian noise. A fast realization of the ITM filter is proposed. …”

Empty-bucket techniques for spill-quality improvement at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron by Arrutia Sota, PA, Fraser, MA, Hagmann, G, Kain, V, Papotti, G, Spierer, A, Velotti, FM, Burrows, PN, Piandani, R

“…Synchrotrons can provide long spills of particles by employing resonant extraction where the circulating beam is slowly ejected over thousands to millions of turns by exploiting the amplitude growth caused by a transverse resonance. …”

On political tradition and ideology: Russian dimensions of practical Zionism and Israeli politics by Rabkin, Y, Yadgar, Y

“…Later, those who found themselves in Poland after Versailles became familiar with parliamentary rituals, even though the Polish state did not enjoy democracy for long. We suggest that this seemingly distant history continues to manifest itself in the political culture of contemporary Israel. …”

Comparative statics with adjustment costs and the Le Chatelier principle by Dekel, E, Quah, JK-H, Sinander, L

“…We use this insight to prove a general Le Chatelier principle: under the ordinal complementarity assumptions, if short-run adjustment is subject to a monotone cost, then the long-run response to a shock is greater than the short-run response. …”

Experimental archaeology and the study of early medieval farming by Hamerow, H, Kropp, C, Bogaard, A

“…Ros Faith has long advocated for the need to understand the practicalities of early medieval farming ‘on the ground’ and how these shaped the lived experience of peasant communities. …”

Beam studies using a Cherenkov diffraction based beam position monitor for AWAKE by Spear, B, Burrows, PN, Pakuza, C, Senes, E, Mazzoni, S, Lefevre, T, Wendt, M

“…A beam position monitor based on Cherenkov diffraction radiation (ChDR) is being investigated as a way to disentangle the signals generated by the electromagnetic fields of a short-pulse electron bunch from a long proton bunch co-propagating in the AWAKE plasma acceleration experiment at CERN. …”

Aspects of the management of cheetahs, Acinonyx jubatus jubatus, trapped on Namibian farmlands by Marker, L, Dickman, AJ, Mills, M, Macdonald, D

“…Most of the cheetahs were trapped in groups, and cheetahs’ relative sociality leads to the easy removal of entire social units. Long-term monitoring must include detailed consideration of these indiscriminate removals, as they involve many cheetahs, fluctuate between years, often go unreported, and are likely to have a serious impact on cheetah populations outside protected areas.…”

The representation dynamic and the “normalization” of group differences by Carvalho, J-P, Pradelski, BSR

“…When there are multiple career stages, underrepresentation can escalate at senior levels long after “glass ceilings” have disappeared. Underrepresentation disappears as economic returns rise and/or group identification weakens.…”

Upcycling of homogeneous food waste in 3D printing food inks by Lim, Fiona Xin Ying

“…We found 5% thermoplastic starch to be the most suitable hydrocolloid base, with the best printing properties observed in 20% w/v butterhead lettuce, 20% w/v sesame cake, 20% w/v brewer’s spent grain, and 10% w/v okara-based ink. …”

The influence of pregnancy complications on fetal and neonatal cardiovascular development by Aye, C

“…As up to 8% of pregnancies are affected by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and approximately 10% of all births are preterm, understanding the mechanisms behind these findings and their relevance to long term cardiovascular disease in this population is of great public health interest. …”

Exploring of cellulose nanocrystals from lignocellulosic sources as a powerful adsorbent for wastewater remediation by Norfarhana, A. S., Khoo, P. S., Ilyas, R. A., Ab Hamid, N. H., Aisyah, H. A., Norrrahim, Mohd Nor Faiz, Knight, V. F., Rani, M. S. A., Septevani, Athanasia Amanda, Syafri, Edi, Annamalai, Pratheep K.

“…As research and development in this field progress, CNC-based adsorbents are expected to become even more effective and find expanded applications in combating water pollution.…”

Placing objects in context via inpainting for out-of-distribution segmentation by De Jorge, P, Volpi, R, Dokania, PK, Torr, PHS, Rogez, G

“…However, acquiring and labelling semantic segmentation data is expensive and unanticipated conditions are long-tail and potentially hazardous. Indeed, existing anomaly segmentation datasets capture a limited number of anomalies, lack realism or have strong domain shifts. …”

Social entrepreneurs as ecosystem catalysts: the dynamics of forming and withdrawing from a self-sustaining ecosystem by Savaget, P, Ozcan, P, Pitsis, T

“…Creating a long-lasting impact is one of the defining goals of social entrepreneurship. …”

Origins and immunopathogenesis of autoimmune central nervous system disorders by Ramanathan, S, Brilot, F, Irani, SR, Dale, RC

“…Fourth, we outline how advances in our understanding of the anatomy of lymphatic drainage and neuroimmune interfaces are challenging long-held notions of CNS immune privilege, with direct relevance to CNS autoimmunity, and how disruption of B cell and T cell tolerance and the passage of immune cells between the peripheral and intrathecal compartments have key roles in initiating disease activity. …”

Germanium-tin nanolasers for high-density integration and low-power consumption by Joo, Hyo Jun

“…On-chip light sources have long been pursued to realize photonic-integrated circuits (PICs) for various applications such as quantum information processing, optical communications, and biochemical sensing. …”
