Using density dependent approach for simulation and control of seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers by Saad Nusari, Mohammed Saleh

“…The experimental setup of the aquifer physical model provides a novel technique for simulating seawater intrusion based on density dependent approach. This in turn gives a better understanding of the actual mechanism of movement and mixing of fresh and saline water and the factors influencing these processes. …”

Neural abstractive summarization: improvements at the sequence-level by Ravaut, Mathieu

“…Our SummScore model compares the summary candidates and the source, through metrics such as embeddings similarities, then combines the score into a unique score where averaging weights are learned by optimizing against pseudo-summaries derived from the source, such as Lead-3 sentences. Lastly, we turn our focus to summarization with Large Language Models (LLMs). …”

Harmonized co-existence with robust interference management in femto-macro cellular architectures by Ponnu Jacob

“…If the indoor traffic can be routed into the cellular network using a femtocell base station, the connected users will experience an increase in capacity along with ubiquitous coverage while macrocell base station resources might be spared. This in turn implies a reduction in network maintenance and deployment cost for the operator. …”

Development of mechanically robust self-cleaning coatings for large structure protection by Kumar, Divya

“…Typically the formulation of these coatings contains use of soft polymer blocks and various organic surface modifiers. This in turn compromises the mechanical durability of the coatings when exposed to harsh environments. …”

Prioritising conservation areas in Southeast Asia: highlighting zoological biodiversity hotspots and assessing spatiotemporal patterns of the felids guild by Chiaverini, L

“…Growth of human population determines increases of the resources required, which are provided by anthropic enterprises. These, in turn, lead to direct exploitation of habitats and species, land use degradation and climate change. …”

何谓现实？怎样革命？——重探战后马华左翼文学思潮 (1945-1965) = Reality and revolution: a study of post-war Malayan Chinese left-wing literary trends (1945-1965)... by 李玥潼 Li, Yuetong

“…These three literary trends were rooted in significant historical junctures: the turn of local identity in the Malayan Chinese society in the early post-war period, the British colonial government's policy adjustments towards Chinese schools in the 1950s, and the independence of Malaysia and Singapore. …”

Developing a portable, high-speed, low-cost desktop photoacoustic tomography imaging system by Kalva, Sandeep Kumar

“…So, one SUT takes several minutes to acquire a single cross-sectional PA data. This in turn, inhibits real-time imaging. The acquired PA data using this SUT is reconstructed conventionally using a simple delay-and-sum algorithm to obtain cross-sectional PA images. …”

Part I : Peptide functionalized materials for gram-negative bacteria targeted PDT and LPS sensing. Part II : Small peptide and membrane lipid based self-assembled nanostructures fo... by Liu, Fang

“…The detection mechanism of our rational design is mainly based on the fact that the specific interactions between LPS and neutralizing peptide could break up the π-π stacking conformation of neighbouring PDI molecules on Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticle surfaces, and thus efficiently turn on the self-quenched fluorescence. More importantly, the stable and easily controlled LPS sensing nano-platform can also rapidly remove the toxic LPS from bacterial cell lysates and human serum without obvious loss of total proteins. …”

Printing of functional materials in 2D and 3D structures by Halevi, Oded

“…One of the common denominators of the various chapters in this work is that by relying on chemical principles such as synthesis rules, phase separation considerations and crystallization processes, printing process control was successfully gained over the deposition and the arrangement of the materials in the confined structures. This in turn enhanced the performance of the materials and overcame their limitations, towards better and further utilization. …”
