Numerical simulation and topology optimization of slider air bearing by Li, Qiang

“…Since the first commercial hard disk drive was developed in 1956, the stability of the flying attitude is always an important factor to be considered in the slider air bearing design. The objective of this dissertation is to develop an efficient computational modeling technique for simulating the air bearing slider (ABS) in hard disk drives and ultimately develop an effective topology optimization methodology to systematically and automatically design the air bearing slider with a target of achieving a near-constant flying attitude when the slider moves over the surface of the hard disk drive. …”

Analysis of bull and bear phases of the Singapore stock market by Wang, Tiantian, Yang, Na

“…This project studies the alternation of bull and bear markets of Singapore stock market. Using historical daily Straits Time Index (STI) from 25/1/2000 to 24/8/2009 and weekly STI from 28/12/1987 to 24/8/2009, this project investigates two approaches to simulate the bull and bear runs, which are compared with the actual bull and bear runs. …”

Game theoretical, statistical and behavioural aspects of peer evaluation by Tan, Catherine Ser Ping

“…The most common solution to the free rider problem is peer evaluation. Although there are many systems for peer evaluation, they are prone to grade inflation or inaccurate, as they do not assign the correct grade to each student, and as a result the system is unfair. …”

Deciphering the Role of a Coleopteran Steering Muscle via Free Flight Stimulation by Sato, Hirotaka, Vo Doan, Tat Thang, Kolev, Svetoslav, Huynh, Ngoc Anh, Zhang, Chao, Massey, Travis L., van Kleef, Joshua, Ikeda, Kazuo, Abbeel, Pieter, Maharbiz, Michel M.

“…We set out to identify muscles whose stimulation produced a graded turning in free flight, a feat that would enable fine steering control not previously demonstrated. We anticipated that gradation might arise either as a function of the phase of muscle firing relative to the wing stroke (as in the classic fly b1 muscle [ 14, 15 ] or the dorsal longitudinal and ventral muscles of moth [ 16 ]), or due to regulated tonic control, in which phase-independent summation of twitch responses produces varying amounts of force delivered to the wing linkages [ 15, 17, 18 ].…”

Counter-checking uncertainty calculations in Bayesian operational modal analysis with EM techniques by Ma, Xinda, Au, Siu-Kui

“…While the existing semi-analytical approach is still preferred for Hessian calculations in applications for its high definitive accuracy and speed, the proposed Monte Carlo solution offers a convenient means for counter-checking during code development. Theoretical implications of the identity will be discussed and numerical examples will be given to illustrate implementation aspects.…”
