Improving year-round protection against influenza infection in the tropics by Young, Barnaby

“…Vaccination is the main pharmacological method available to reduce transmission and prevent infection, but evidence that vaccine induced protection with the standard dose inactivated influenza vaccine lasts year-round is lacking. This thesis presents a review of influenza epidemiology in Asia and the association between the pattern of seasonality and latitude and climate; a systematic review and meta-analysis of test-negative design (TND) case-control studies in order to generate summary estimates of changes in vaccine effectiveness with time since vaccination; results of a cohort study that investigates whether there is evidence for waning vaccine protection against severe influenza in Singapore; an observer-blind randomised clinical trial of annual versus biannual influenza vaccination in older adults, and further analysis of predictors of waning antibody titres post-vaccination.…”

Prospects for the container shipping industry over the next 5 years by Soh, Jia Jie

“…Results revealed that due to a lack of governmental support, the introduction of LNG would not have any impacts on the container carrying capacity in the next 5 years. However given sufficient amount of time, there would be an increasing governmental support, and the lower cost of LNG fuel compared to bunker fuel oil, will eventually lead to an increase in LNG fuelled container vessels. …”

Plasmon excitation on flat graphene by s-polarized beams using four-wave mixing by Tao, Jin, Dong, Zhaogang, Yang, Joel K. W., Wang, Qi Jie

“…However, exciting plasmons on graphene effectively still remains a challenge owing to the large wave-vector mismatch between the optical beam in air and graphene plasmon. In this paper, we present a novel scheme capable of exciting graphene surface plasmons (GSPs) on a flat suspended graphene by using only s-polarized optical beams through four-wave mixing (FWM) process, where the GSPs fields were derived analytically based on the Green's function analysis, under the basis of momentum conservation. …”

Modulation schemes for the audio beam system : fixed-point analysis, simulation and implementation by Seth, Abhishek

“…Directional sound can be created by modulating an audible signal onto an ultrasonic carrier and projecting the modulated signal via special types of ultrasonic transducer to generate the parametric array through air, in such a way that audible sound can travel in a column of sound beams. The device that generates this phenomenon is generally referred to as the parametric loudspeaker. …”
