Smartphone application in determining the reflection point for line-of-sight wireless systems by Chua, Han Jie.

“…With the increasing popularity of smart phone usage, it is advantages to develop smartphone applications that can aids and arouse interest of the students studying wireless communication module.In a wireless system where multi path propagation occurs, the reflection point in a Line of Sight System is of great importance and great interest as the position of the reflection point willl affects the quality of the signal received.In this project, a smart phone application using the Android 2.2 OS was developed to correlate the GPS reading of the user location, to retrieve user various values selection.The program used two reflection point calculation methods namely the Bisection Algorithm method and Solving the Cubic Equation method to calculate thereflection point position.The reflection point will be potrayed onto a graphical map upon calculation.…”

Perceptions of impure innovation: health professionals’ experiences and management of stigmatization when working as digital innovators by Gill, MJ, Naughton, B, Field, M, Shaw, S

“…Inductively theorizing from our interview data, we explain how individual professionals experience different intensities of stigmatization from colleagues when working with digital innovations. We theorize that the more central a dual-role professional is within an organization and the more their innovation deviates from standard professional duties, the more likely the innovation is to be viewed as impure within a professional group and be the target of stigmatization. …”

Heterogeneity within colorectal cancer cell lines and epigenetic regulation of CD24 by Ibn Ayub, M

“…Microarray analysis further revealed differences in gene expression including <em>LAPTM4B</em>, <em>CXCR4</em>, <em>TGFIB</em> and <em>IL8</em> between these clones. Interestingly, when maintained for a long time in culture (around passage 50, which is equivalent to &amp;Tilde;7 months), CD24 expression went through a gradual change in these clones, which became more evident from subclones of LS174T_Clone 2^CD24- (Chapter 6) and clones from another CRC cell line SW480 (chapter 5 and 6). …”
