“Clicking” compliant mechanism for flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle by Chin, Yao-Wei, Lau, Gih Keong

“…This paper presented a click mechanism, which is inspired by a Dipteran insect, for use in flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle. The clicking mechanism is integrated in a thorax-like compliant mechanism, which buckles and consequently produces a large wing stroke when driven by an electric motor. …”

Experimental study of a single mode fiber ring laser by Lau, Zhong Yi

“…This study will investigate the method of achieving passive mode-locking from a nonlinear polarization rotational technique in a single mode fiber ring laser. It will use two different polarization isolators, dependent and independent, to witness fundamental solitons forming when it reaches mode-locking gain saturation. …”

Lattice Encoding of Cyclic Codes from Skew-polynomial Rings by Ducoat, Jérôme, Oggier, Frédérique

“…We propose a construction of lattices from cyclic codes from skew-polynomial rings. This construction may be seen as a variation of Construction A of lattices from linear codes, obtained from quotients of orders in cyclic division algebras. …”

Reconstituting ring-rafts in bud-mimicking topography of model membranes by Ryu, Yong-Sang, Lee, In-Ho, Suh, Jeng-Hun, Park, Seung Chul, Oh, Soojung, Jordan, Luke R., Wittenberg, Nathan J., Oh, Sang-Hyun, Jeon, Noo Li, Lee, Byoungho, Parikh, Atul N., Lee, Sin-Doo

“…In all cases, in addition to the generation or relief of the curvature stress, the buds recruit specific lipids and proteins from the donor membrane through restricted diffusion for the development of a ring-type raft domain of closed topology. Here, by reconstituting the bud topography in a model membrane, we demonstrate the preferential localization of cholesterol- and sphingomyelin-enriched microdomains in the collar band of the bud-neck interfaced with the donor membrane. …”

Zero-knowledge arguments for lattice-based accumulators: logarithmic-size ring signatures and group signatures without trapdoors by Libert, Benoît, Ling, San, Nguyen, Khoa, Wang, Huaxiong

“…As an application, we describe new lattice-based group and ring signatures in the random oracle model. In particular, we obtain: (i) the first lattice-based ring signatures with logarithmic size in the cardinality of the ring and (ii) the first lattice-based group signature that does not require any GPV trapdoor and thus allows for a much more efficient choice of parameters.…”
