Predicting cognitive scores from wearable-based digital physiological features using machine learning: data from a clinical trial in mild cognitive impairment by Rykov, Yuri G., Patterson, Michael D., Gangwar, Bikram A., Jabar, Syaheed B., Leonardo, Jacklyn, Ng, Kok Pin, Kandiah, Nagaendran

“…The model predicted the actual executive function scores with correlation r = 0.69 and intra-individual changes in executive function scores with r = 0.61. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that wearable-based physiological measures, primarily HRV, have potential to be used for the continuous assessments of cognitive function in individuals with MCI.…”

Exciton Dynamics and Anisotropy in 2D Metal Organochalcogenolate Semiconductors by Lee, Woo Seok

“…This divergence in excitonic properties is attributed to the semi 1D Ag chains in AgSePh-F₂(2,3), in contrast to hexagonal 2D Ag network in AgSePh. This finding can be generalized to other blue-emitting 2D AgSePh-R compounds which exhibit either AgSePh-like or AgSePh-F₂(2,3)-like absorption spectra. …”

ESBL and AmpC β-lactamase encoding genes in E. coli from pig and pig farm workers in Vietnam and their association with mobile genetic elements by Hounmanou, Yaovi Mahuton Gildas, Bortolaia, Valeria, Dang, Son Thi Thanh, Truong, Duong, Olsen, John E., Dalsgaard, Anders

“…Overall, despite evidence of transferability of plasmids in the analyzed strains, our findings do not support that ESBL-producing E. coli from pigs or their ESBL/AmpC encoding plasmids are commonly spread to workers in close contact with the animals.…”

Modulation and control strategies for neutral-point-clamped converters by Beniwal, Neha

“…The focus of this thesis is to address these challenges and develop more efficient modulation and control techniques for the NPC converters. In order to find a trade-off solution between the CV ripple magnitude and the switching power losses, a new feedforward compensated modulation technique for the three-phase NPC converter is proposed in this thesis. …”

Wireless channel modeling and spectrum monitoring for interference mitigation and link reliability insurance for existing and future CBTC systems by Kalyankar Shravan Kumar

“…The statistics of the clustered data are analyzed to understand the characteristics of radio signals from different access points, and the findings of this technique are presented. The study shows that the proposed approach can be used in real-time monitoring of access points (APs) and help the MRT operators identify the faulty APs without any in-field tests. …”

Examining twitter discourse on electronic cigarette and tobacco consumption during national cancer prevention month in 2018: topic modeling and geospatial analysis by Lu, Jiahui, Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…Conclusions: Though people recognized the importance of traditional tobacco control policies in reducing lung cancer incidences, their views on e-cigarette risks were divided, and discussions on the importance of e-cigarette policy control were missing from public discourse. Findings suggest the need for health organizations to continuously engage the public in discussions on the potential health risks of e-cigarettes and raise awareness of the insidious lobbying efforts from the tobacco industry.…”

Self-healing cementitious composites by encapsulation techniques by Feng, Jianhang

“…In terms of the in-situ gelation and subsequent volume growth of hydrogels, a model for simulations of crack sealing evolutions by generated hydrogels was developed and simulation outcomes were in agreement with experimental findings. Based on the research in this thesis, it can be concluded that autonomous healing of cementitious composites can be enhanced with these novel encapsulation or immobilization techniques and the new self-healing strategy, whilst future research in robust autonomous healing, cost reductions and life cycle analysis can be conducted to further upgrade autonomous healing cementitious composites.…”
