Performance evaluation of an ejector-based cooling system by Neo, Tiffany Bi Xuan.

“…Hence 3 evaporators will be used to cater to each temperature condition, with the higher temperature evaporator having a higher working pressure and vice versa. However, this conventional MERS is not energy efficient as much energy is loss due to the pressure differences in each evaporator when mixing occurs as the streams combine before entering the single compressor. …”

Real time analysis of social behavior from video and kinect recordings by Ramasamy, Pandi Ramesh

“…Finally,analysis will be performed using pattern recognition algorithms and machine learning classifiers to detect the emotion of the subject.In this project,machine learning classifiers such as K-nearest neighbors,Naive Bayes and C4.5 Decision tree learning has been used. The prime aim is to pin point the most seemly machine learning classifier for obtaining highest accuracy for classification.…”

Rapid process modeling of the aerosol jet printing based on gaussian process regression with latin hypercube sampling by Zhang, Haining, Moon, Seung Ki, Ngo, T. H., Tou, J., Bin Mohamed Yusoff, M. A.

“…Hence, it is necessary to develop a small data set based machine learning approach to model relationship between the process parameters and the line morphology. In this paper, we propose a rapid process modeling method for AJP process and consider sheath gas flow rate, carrier gas flow rate, stage speed as AJP process parameters, and line width and line roughness as the line morphology. …”

Studies on fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite and their characteristics by Nagarajan Sathish

“…When the fiber volume ratio was increased, Elvax 3185 matrix specimen’s load carrying capacity and Young’s modulus increased and the ultimate strength decreased. It was vice versa for HDPE matrix specimens. In the beginning, the laminates were fabricated and tested using only one type of resin for each laminate. …”

Hybrid brain computer interface for relaxation management by Ngian, Michelle Mei Xue

“…In mental engagement and mental response, participants are observed to be having lower engagement level and higher stress level during least liked passage and vice versa for most liked passage. This proved that multimodal system makes evaluation process much more reliable together with visual and mental engagement and other modalities such as heart rate variability, mental and reaction response. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Enhanced Laplace Pressures for Functional Surfaces: Wicking, Switchability, and Selectivity by Wilke, Kyle L, Song, Youngsup, Lu, Zhengmao, Wang, Evelyn N

“…Moreover, with a water‐hexane mixture system, selective wetting of reentrant structures are demonstrated, that is, water can be selectively wicked or repelled in the presence of hexane, and vice versa. These functionalities are achieved, which would typically require complex chemical coatings, solely using surface structures, thus largely expanding the design space for a wide range of thermofluidic applications.…”
