Rotation Inside Convex Kakeya Sets by Janzer, B

“…We also show that in three dimensions the answer is negative, even for the case when S is a line segment – but that in any dimension the first question has a positive answer when S is a line segment. …”

History dependence of the microstructure on time-dependent deformation during in-situ cooling of a nickel-based single-crystal superalloy by Panwisawas, Chinnapat, D’Souza, Neil, Collins, David M., Bhowmik, Ayan, Roebuck, Bryan

“…Time-dependent plastic deformation through stress relaxation and creep deformation during in-situ cooling of the as-cast single-crystal superalloy CMSX-4® has been studied via neutron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, electro-thermal miniature testing, and analytical modeling across two temperature regimes. Between 1000 °C and 900 °C, stress relaxation prevails and gives rise to softening as evidenced by a decreased dislocation density and the presence of long segment stacking faults in γ phase. …”

Characterization of artemisinin resistance in plasmodium falciparum by Rocamora, Frances Maureen C.

“…In order to better understand the Artemisinin resistance phenotype, we developed Artemisinin-resistant parasite lines derived from two isogenic clones (6A and 11C) of the 3D7 strain of Plasmodium falciparum using a selection regimen that mimics how parasites interact with the drug in infected patients. …”

Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow by Hover, F. S., Techet, A. H., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…Calculation of the cross-correlation coefficient between forces at the two ends of the uniform cylinder reveals five distinct regimes as a function of the nominal reduced velocity Vrn: two regimes, for low and high values of Vrn, and far away from the value of VrS corresponding to the Strouhal frequency, show small correlation; two regimes immediately adjacent to, but excluding, VrS show strong correlation, close to 1; surprisingly, there is a regime containing the Strouhal frequency, within which correlation is low. …”

The complete cosmicomics : the universe of a failed, emotional literary journey by Lim, Yi Qing

“…In other words, this essay intends to show how the cosmicomics materials catalogue Calvino's learning experience in his mediating role, and how they journal his internal thought processes and sentiments, as well as his waning motivation. The significance of cosmology, space and science will be examined, alongside with the motif of transformation in Calvino's bizarre cosmos.…”

Using Sequenom to identify KRAS mutations in an Asian cohort of ovarian mucinous cancer by Tiong, Wen Ning

“…While there are distinct differences between mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer (mEOC) and the other subtypes of EOC, a standard treatment regimen is followed for all EOC histotypes. KRAS mutations have been observed to occur in relatively high frequencies of 50-60% in mEOC but not in other subtypes of EOC in at least three clinical studies. …”

Predicting the performance of cryptocurrency market by Tibrewal, Shrey

“…It is a significant challenge for investors to accurately predict price fluctuations, as cryptocurrencies can be influenced by a number of factors such as demandsupply balance, technology, legal and regulatory, market volatility, and public’s sentiments in news and social media. The objective of this project is to identify the factors influencing cryptocurrency pricing and the major gaps for future research.…”

Criteria for Crack Formation and Air Invasion in Drying Colloidal Suspensions by Lilin, Paul, Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We show that the pressure inside the deposit controls both the onset of crack formation and the onset of air invasion. Two distinct regimes of air invasion occur, which we can account for using the same model that further provides a quantitative criterion for the crossover between the two regimes.…”

A comparative analysis of missing data imputation techniques on sedimentation data by Loh, Wing Son, Ling, Lloyd, Chin, Ren Jie, Lai, Sai Hin, Loo, Kar Kuan, Seah, Choon Sen

“…A comparative analysis on the missing fine sediment data imputation performance was made based on four different techniques, namely the k-Nearest Neighbourhood (k-NN), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Multiple Regression (MR), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), under the single imputation (SI) and multiple imputation (MI) regimes. Across different missing data proportions (10%-50%), the ANN demonstrated optimal results with consistent performance metrics recorded over both SI and MI regimes. …”
