Novel heat treatment methodology for residual stress relieve of AlSi10Mg without compromise of mechanical strength by Lim, Chong Heng

“…The effect of heat treatment temperature on the compressive strength of the part is justified via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. A novel phenomenon was observed on the trend that low angle grain boundaries (LAGB) are found to be concentrated in grain orientated towards <001> direction. …”

SPP/LSP coupled hybrid mode directed multi-functional surface-enhanced Raman system by Du, Luping

“…Our method takes advantage of SERS from a single nanosphere-film junction where the enhancement factor is determined by the longitudinal component of coupled SPPs between the nanosphere and metal film. By scanning the nanosphere immobilized on the film over the propagation region of SPPs, We can map out the near-field SPP longitudinal field with super-resolution. …”

3D content recovery and complexity reduction by Tan, Cheen Hau

“…For human motion capture (mocap) data acquired using optical systems, entries of the data might be missing due to occluded body parts or markers. For scanned 3D meshes, the complexity, or resolution, of the mesh could be much higher than necessary for the intended application; this will consume a large amount of computational resources. …”
