Elucidating the role of metabolic changes in modulating cell fate following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs by Wong, Alex Xing Fah

“…Better understanding of the cellular pathways underlying this escape from antimitotic drug-induced cell death, known as mitotic slippage, is crucial for development of combinatorial therapies that can enhance existing treatment regimen in patients. Mitotic slippage describes a phenomenon where cells escape mitotic arrest and cell death following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs, and "slip" into interphase without proper chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. …”

Evaluating new malaria vaccine candidates by Noé, A

“…Liver-resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM) are necessary for protection against rodent malaria by this vaccine regimen. Ultimately, to most faithfully assess immunological responses by these local, specialised, hepatic T cells, periodic liver sampling is necessary. …”

Evaluation of subconjunctival liposomal steroids for the treatment of experimental uveitis by Wong, Chee Wai, Czarny, Bertrand, Metselaar, Josbert M., Ho, Candice, Ng, Si Rui, Barathi, Amutha Veluchamy, Storm, Gert, Wong, Tina T.

“…The current gold standard for treatment is topical steroids, but low ocular bioavailability and compliance issues with the intensive dosing regimen limit the efficacy of this treatment. Liposomes as a drug delivery system may help to overcome these problems. …”

A study of consumers' perceptions of supermarkets in Singapore : a store image study by Lai, Lan Fah, Ng, Chin Ling, Lau, Sharon Wen Yee

“…It will cover the following areas: store image dimensions that are important to the Singaporean consumer, the relative importance of various aspects of store image to different consumer segments, and the image of two supermarkets in Singapore, namely Cold Storage and NTUC.…”

Dynamics of localized waves in one-dimensional random potentials : statistical theory of the coherent forward scattering peak by Lee, Kean Loon, Miniatura, Christian, Grémaud, Benoît

“…Going beyond the perturbative regime, we address here the long-time dynamics of the CFS peak in a one-dimensional random system and we relate this novel interference effect to the statistical properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenspectrum of the corresponding random Hamiltonian. …”

Effect of strong electric fields on material responses : the Bloch oscillation resonance in high field conductivities by Singh, Satyvir, Battiato, Marco

“…We then extend the method to strong electric fields and show how the responses are deviated from the low-field ones and the transition to a dampened Bloch oscillation regime. Most importantly, we report the observation of a new regime induced by the resonance between the standard low-field response and Bloch oscillations.…”

One-shot yield-cost relations in general quantum resource theories by Takagi, Ryuji, Regula, Bartosz, Wilde, Mark M.

“…Although it is well known that the amount of resources that can be asymptotically distilled from a quantum state or channel does not exceed the resource cost needed to produce it, the corresponding relation in the non-asymptotic regime hitherto has not been well understood. Here, we establish a quantitative relation between the one-shot distillable resource yield and dilution cost in terms of transformation errors involved in these processes. …”

Organic ferroelectric memory devices based on resistive switching by Damar Yoga Kusuma

“…This approach accelerates the switching kinetics as polarization reversal shifts from the nucleation-limited regime to the growth-limited regime. On the other hand, mutual combination of SAM’s fixed dipole and ferroelectric’s polarizable dipole is employed to realize ferroelectric field effect transistor devices with tailored operational parameters, reduced charge trapping and improved retention stability. …”

Elementwise overparameterisation for single and multi-task learning by Ribli, Vincent

“…In the field of autonomous vehicles, computer vision is used to solve multiple tasks such as semantic segmentation and object tracking. This can be challenging as the tasks need to be done at a high performance within a given latency threshold. …”

Automatic and efficient long term arm and hand tracking for continuous sign language TV broadcasts by Pfister, T, Charles, J, Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…<br> Our contributions are (i) a co-segmentation algorithm that automatically separates the signer from any signed TV broadcast using a generative layered model; (ii) a method of predicting joint positions given only the segmentation and a colour model using a random forest regressor; and (iii) demonstrating that the random forest can be trained from an existing semi-automatic, but computationally expensive, tracker. …”

Discovering objects and their location in images by Sivic, J, Russell, BC, Efros, AA, Zisserman, A, Freeman, WT

“…It is demonstrated that this extended vocabulary gives a cleaner image segmentation. Finally, the classification and segmentation methods are applied to a set of images containing multiple objects per image. …”

Development of a vision-based gesture human-computer interface by Lim, Chun Ping.

“…With a few reasonable assumptions, this stage was achieved with 3 image processing techniques, namely background subtraction by codebook method, skin segmentation and contour convexity finding. To enhance the robustness of the system, a variant codebook method had been created to be used in skin segmentation. …”
