Development and characterization of collagen type I and hyaluronic acid (HA) based interlaced scaffolds for tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVS) by Nazir, R

“…While evaluated against the criterion for tissue engineered heart valve (TEHV), S-3 and S-4 among interlaced scaffolds/compositions not only matched mechanically but also showed high degradation resistance which potentially made them as '<b>close-fit</b>' candidates. Findings from this thesis indicated that collagen/HA interlaced scaffolds have the potential to fill in the niche for designing an ideal TEHV. …”

Pareto Adaptive Robust Optimality via a Fourier–Motzkin Elimination lens by Bertsimas, Dimitris, ten Eikelder, Stefan C. M., den Hertog, Dick, Trichakis, Nikolaos

“…A worst-case optimal solution pair of here-and-now decisions and wait-and-see decisions is PARO if it cannot be Pareto dominated by another solution, i.e., there does not exist another worst-case optimal pair that performs at least as good in all scenarios in the uncertainty set and strictly better in at least one scenario. …”

Investigation of Ni as Zn substitute in CZTS thin film solar cell by Quek, Ka Jun

“…Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) was also done to check elemental composition of CNZTS in the thin film layer. AC Hall measurement was also conducted and it showed that the CNZTS layers have turned into n-type semiconductor when Ni substitution is more than 20% and also the carrier concentration increased significantly. …”
