A study of tidal turbine array by Yong, Heng Wei.

“…The torque sensor will be measured by mounting on a DC motor, fixing ball bearings to a housing hub. By doing so, it will prevent its rotation by the deflection of a strain-gauge-instrumented plate. …”

Identification of FGF receptor-binding peptides for cancer gene therapy by Maruta, F, Parker, AL, Fisher, KD, Hallissey, MT, Ismail, T, Rowlands, DC, Chandler, LA, Kerr, DJ, Seymour, LW

“…The consensus motif MXXP was iterated after four to five rounds and the peptide MQLPLAT was studied in depth. Phage bearing MQLPLAT showed high levels of binding to FGF receptor positive cells, with over 90% of phage bound being eluted competitively by adding free FGF2. …”

Secure and secret cooperation in robotic swarms by Castelló Ferrer, Eduardo, Hardjono, Thomas, Pentland, Alex 'Sandy', Dorigo, Marco

“…We propose a system where robots in a swarm, to cooperate towards mission completion, have to "prove" their integrity to their peers by exchanging cryptographic proofs. We show the implications of this approach for two different swarm robotics missions: foraging and maze formation. …”

The Importance of Bystanders in Threat Assessment and Management by Borum, Randy, Rowe, Mary

“…Numerous studies of targeted violence (e.g., mass shootings and school shootings), have demonstrated that peers and bystanders often have knowledge of an attacker’s intentions, concerning communication, and troubling behavior before the attack occurs. …”

Backbone boogie : dance the osteoporosis away! by Gey, Elainn Yee Rong, Lim, Cheryl Yi Xuan, Tan, Cammie Yi Jia

“…Based on the formative research gathered, reducing susceptibility to osteoporosis was found to be largely dependent on early prevention through a combination of calcium, vitamin D and regular weight-bearing exercise. Exercise was the least known aspect of osteoporosis prevention by the target audience and about 50% did not regularly exercise at all. …”

Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”
