Enhancing the learning effectiveness of ill-structured problem solving with online co-creation by Pee, Loo Geok

“…Ill-structured problem solving is widely believed to promote learning in higher education but its multiplicity (i.e. multiple solutions and evaluation criteria) is often seen as a challenge to manage. This study shows that the multiplicity can be managed as well as leveraged to enhance learning effectiveness through online co-creation. …”

Single image super resolution by Chan, Jeremiah Sheng En

“…In the field of computer vision, super resolution with deep learning is a promising field that has generated multiple research, and has seen its application far and wide. In single image super resolution, the image can either be upscaled before being input into the network (pre upscaling) and its features learned, or it can be upscaled after the network has learned its feature (post upscaling). …”

An ultra low-power CMOS EMG amplifier with high efficiency in operation frequency per power by Jaya, Gibran Limi, Chan, Pak Kwong

“…This is achieved by adding a capacitor in series with the capacitive load of the amplifier so as to reduce the total effective load capacitance being seen by the op-amp for reducing power driving requirement. …”

The role of implied volatility in volatility combining forecasts by Ho, Jen Sim, Choo, Wei Chong, Boon, Shui Hooi, Wan, Cheong Kin, Zhang, Yuruixian

“…The empirical results suggest that IV improves the predictive power of volatility combining forecasts, but the assigned weights were seen less inclined to IV. The inclusion of constant and unconstrained models performed the best. …”

Tunable Mechanical Response of Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Superlattices by Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Yee, Daryl W., Zhou, Ziran, Sun, Rachel, Andrade, José E., Macfarlane, Robert J., Portela, Carlos M.

“…Here, we perform in situ nanomechanical experiments that evidence up to an 11-fold increase in stiffness (∼1.49 to 16.9 GPa) and a 5-fold increase in strength (∼88 to 426 MPa) because of surface stiffening/strengthening from shaping these nanomaterials via focused-ion-beam milling. To predict the mechanical properties of shaped NPSLs, we present discrete element method (DEM) simulations and an analytical core-shell model that capture the FIB-induced stiffening response. …”

Materials beyond monolayers: The magnetic quasi-1D semiconductor CrSBr by Klein, Julian, Ross, Frances M.

“…We discuss the stability of CrSBr in air and show atomic scale structural manipulation through electron beam-driven transformations. We conclude that the stability and structural amenability of CrSBr provide opportunities for imagining devices that use bulk crystals yet exploit unique magnetic and quantum confinement effects.…”
