Developing a lightscape application (using a raspberry PI) by Ong, Wenchuan

“…The project aims to develop a web application, which will be hosted within the Raspberry Pi, for controlling the brightness of constant light source from the high power LED via the Raspberry Pi’s General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins and gather optimal settings for projecting images with the Light Blaster. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

The artifice that endures the burden of the past : analysing memory in Angela Carter's fictional works. by Yuvaneswari.

“…Carter, too, employs memory as text, using history and the past “as no more than debris to be picked over and eclectically assembled according to the whim of the individual” and an analysis of memory in her texts provides an introduction to the larger issues of fiction, reality, identity and notion of self which always remain central to Carter’s concerns (Gamble 8).…”

Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…In particular, we <em>analytically</em> study the (quasi-)pinning effect which corresponds to a saturation of the GPCs and imposes structural simplifications on the <em>N</em>-fermion state. …”

Somatosensory and clinical profiles of patients with spine-related and clinical framework-based neck–arm pain by Kapitza, C, Ballenberger, N, Luedtke, K, Schmid, AB, Tampin, B

“…Symptom descriptors, such as burning (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), tingling (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.018), pins and needles (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.031), numbness (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.016), spontaneous pain (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001), and electric pain/shock (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.026) were more common in the radicular/radiculopathy groups compared with the somatic/mechanosensitivity groups. …”

A promising deep learning-assistive algorithm for histopathological screening of colorectal cancer by Ho, Cowan, Zhao, Zitong, Chen, Xiu Fen, Sauer, Jan, Saraf, Sahil Ajit, Jialdasani, Rajasa, Taghipour, Kaveh, Sathe, Aneesh, Khor, Li-Yan, Lim, Kiat-Hon, Leow, Wei-Qiang

“…We demonstrate an unique composite AI-model incorporating both a glandular segmentation deep learning model and a classical machine learning classifier, with excellent sensitivity in picking up high risk colorectal features. As such, AI plays a role as a potential screening tool in assisting busy pathologists by outlining the dysplastic and malignant glands.…”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”
