Electrochromic smart window for modulation of infrared heat by Loke, Jie Yi

“…It was found that more than half of the heat that enters a building through its windows come from the solar radiation in the near infrared (NIR) region. As a result, in an attempt to lower energy consumption of houses and buildings, smart window technology has been introduced. …”

Linking short-term to long-term convergent tectonics using geodetic observations, geological constraints and numerical simulations by Mallick, Rishav

“…To understand how faults accumulate elastic strain in the period of time in between earthquakes, I used a newly installed network of GNSS stations from the eastern edge of the India-Eurasia convergent boundary and quantified the slip rates of major faults in the region. However, faults do not only accumulate strain steadily in time. …”

Fragments of our past: a study of 19th to 20th century Japanese porcelains from Singapore's archaeological assemblages by Yuen, Ashley Lee Min

“…Historical archaeological research surrounding the 19th to 20th centuries, however, has been a field relatively untapped both in local and regional scholarship, rendering it a promising aspect to address. …”

Tunable quantum cascade lasers for midinfrared spectroscopic sensing by Li, Jinghao

“…Many gases of interest exhibit strong absorptions within the Mid-infrared (Mid-IR) region, spanning from 2.5 to 25 µm. To enable high-sensitivity spectroscopy, a robust coherent source in this range is required. …”

Small but prospective: development of enzyme-responsive small molecule fluorescent probes for specific bacterial imaging by Yan, Evelias Hui Xin

“…In chapter 2, we explore the specific proteolytic activity of an outer membrane bacterial protease that is present in all wild-type Escherichia coli (E. coli) and another bacterial protease located in the periplasmic region of E. coli to synthesize a near infrared fluorescence probe for the real-time imaging of urinary tract bacterial infection in vitro and in vivo. …”

3D patient specific instrumentation for high tibial osteotomy by Wong, Gina Khay Fong

“…After a vast number of experiments with 3D Slicer, “Grow from Seeds” is proven to be more time efficient and accurate along with the “Logical Operators”, especially for a thin and uneven layer like the cortical region. With SolidWorks used preoperatively to simulate the HTO cuts and alignment, there are still limitations present. …”

Efficient architectures for computation of binary logarithm by Low, Joshua Yung Lih

“…When a newly proposed 4-region piecewise linear approximation is developed for the compressed range, the maximum absolute error and maximum absolute error percentage are reduced by 15.0% and 25.0% respectively when compared to the best existing results. …”

Study of marine power train system through mathematical modelling of various electro-mechanical components by Khor, Boon Siang

“…As the magnitude of load power demand for harbor tugboat varies largely throughout its operation, a lot of fuel would be wasted due to low fuel efficiency of diesel engine operating outside its optimal operating region. Thus enhancement of power generation process has been carried out with some examples presented in this report and the concepts are included in development of the control systems. …”

Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…Our results suggest the notion of a microscopic Pauli pressure which is a consequence of the competition between energy minimisation and antisymmetry, and drives the system towards the boundary of the allowed region. Furthermore, the relevance of quasipinning beyond the wellknown Pauli exclusion principle is evaluted by the <em>Q</em>-measure. …”
