Encoding error correction in an integrated photonic chip by Zhang, Hui, Wan, Lingxiao, Paesani, Stefano, Laing, Anthony, Shi, Yuzhi, Cai, Hong, Luo, Xianshu, Lo, Guo-Qiang, Kwek, Leong Chuan, Liu, Ai Qun

“…However, the encoded quantum states are sensitive to noise, which limits their capability to perform complicated quantum computations. Here, we use a five-qubit linear cluster state on a silicon photonic chip to implement a quantum error-correction code and demonstrate its capability of identifying and correcting a single-qubit error. …”

Post-quantum attacks against symmetric-key cryptography systems by Pham, Thi Minh Phuong

“…By incorporating the rebound techniques and the degree of freedom from keys and states to our model, we achieved significant advancements in the number of attacked rounds, ranging from one to five, in various target systems such as AES-128, Saturnin hashing mode, Grøstl-512, and SKINNY-hash. …”

Experimental study of steel beam-column joints with novel slot-bolted connections under a central-column-removal scenario by Ma, You-Xin, Chen, Shuang, Tan, Kang Hai

“…Hence, to improve the robustness of FP and TSWA connections, novel arrangements of slotted holes were proposed for FP and TSWA connections in this study to form novel slot-bolted connections (SBCs). A total of five steel beam-column joint specimens with proposed novel SBCs were tested under a central-column-removal scenario. …”

Molecular and biochemical characterisation of human casein kinase I alpha splice variants by Yong, Thomas Joon Kin.

“…The 4.2 kb mRNA species of both splice variants contain five additional RNA-destabilising AU-rich element (ARE)motifs in their 3' untranslated regions, the 2.4 kb transcripts contain a single ARE; suggesting the longer transcripts may be more rapidly turned over. …”

Design of phase locked loop with PVT tolerance by Chong, Kok Foong

“…To check the impacts of different VCO dummy implementation on PLL jitter, five experimental charge pump PLLs are simulated with difference only in the dummy stages: (i) no dummy, (ii) simple dummy, (iii) single stage differential dummy, (iv) double stage differential dummy and (v) full differential dummy with the D2S converters. …”

X-ray and ultrasonic testing techniques for defect inspection in composite by Zhou, David Yutian.

“…Special attention was directed at studying if non-volumetric (incipient) heat damage in composite material can be detected before it escalates into physical deformation. Five different ultrasonic testing techniques, as well as one 2D X-ray inspection, were performed on the aforementioned specimens. …”

Experimental studies and model development for individual-specific fall detection by Hu, Xinyao

“…The body kinematic measures were compared between slip-induced falls and non-fall activities (i.e. normal walking and successful recovery after slips). Five kinematic measures were identified as the appropriate fall indicators since they were able to effectively and efficiently differentiate falls from non-fall activities, especially at the early stage of loss-of-balance due to slips. …”

Android tablet game development for dementia patient - Games by Tong, Chee Tian

“…By 2030, the nation will join 33 others as a “super-aged” country, where one out of five people are aged 65 and older. Given this rise, we can also expect an increase in the prevalence rate of mental disease like dementia. …”

Spoofing speech detection using temporal convolutional neural network by Xiao, Xiong, Li, Haizhou, Tian, Xiaohai, Chng, Eng Siong

“…Due to the use of max-pooling, we can extract useful information from a long temporal span without concatenating a large number of neighbouring frames, as in feedforward deep neural network (DNN). Five types of feature are employed to access the performance of proposed classifier. …”

Water quality prediction and carbon reduction mechanisms in wastewater treatment in Northwest cities using Random Forest Regression model by Sun, Jingjing, Guan, Xin, Sun, Xiaojun, Cao, Xiaojing, Tan, Yepei, Liao, Jiarong

“…For example, the R2 for COD prediction is 0.99954, while the R2 values for NH4+-N, TP, and TN predictions reach 0.99989. Compared to five other models, the RFR model demonstrates the best performance across all water quality indicator predictions. …”

Interventions that prevent or reduce perinatal loneliness and its proximal determinants: a restricted scoping review by Naughton-Doe, R, Nowland, R, Tierney, S, Webber, M, Wittkowski, A

“…Five mechanisms were identified within included papers: 1) opportunities for social connection to similar others, 2) positive relationships with a professional or volunteer, 3) normalisation and acceptance of difficulties, 4) meaningful activities and 5) support to overcome barriers (including cultural and financial) to connection. …”

An update of a systematic review and meta-analyses exploring flavours in intervention studies of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation by Lindson, N, Livingstone-Banks, J, Butler, A, Levy, D, Barnett, P, Theodoulou, A, Notley, C, Rigotti, N, Chen, Y, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…In studies where participants had a choice of flavours, some switching between flavours occurred (five studies). A preference for sweet (including fruit) flavours over tobacco and menthol was indicated (in 6 of 11 studies); however, there were differences across studies. …”
