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

“…I present a case study of the growth of the Shillong Plateau, north eastern India, as seen in the present-day GNSS-derived velocity field and the long-term uplift history of the plateau. To understand how sequences of earthquakes and aseismic slip on faults shape topography and build mountains, I developed a numerical technique that allows for a one-way coupling from long-term geodynamics to earthquake sequence simulations. …”

Reactivating and reorganizing activity-silent working memory: two distinct mechanisms underlying pinging the brain by Yang, C, He, X, Cai, Y

“…Recent studies have proposed that visual information in working memory (WM) can be maintained in an activity-silent state and reactivated by task-irrelevant high-contrast visual impulses (“ping”). Although pinging the brain has become a popular tool for exploring activity-silent WM, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”

Fabrication of fine features using digital light processing stereolithography by Chew, Ze Yong

“…Thus, this project was developed with the objectives to: 1. reduce production cost of Stereolithography by optimizing low end commercial Stereolithography system – ASIGA Freeform Pico 39 Plus such that it is able to print fine features 2. explore effective and convenient post processing step such that it is able to reduce material wastage and at the same time further shorten production lead time The parameter study conducted revealed that every layer thickness has a specific optimal exposure time such that the layers could be printed just fine, with minimal compromise of the internal features’ accuracy. …”
