Self-configurable memetic algorithm by Le, Minh Nghia

“…Furthermore, when high-fidelity analysis codes are used for evaluating design solutions in the optimization process, it is not uncommon for the single simulation process to take minutes, hours to days of supercomputer time to compute. Since the design cycle time of a product is directly proportional to the number of calls made to the costly analysis solvers, there has been practical needs for novel meta-model/surrogate-assisted memetic frameworks that can handle these forms of problems elegantly.…”

Investigation into the mechanisms of gas sensing using carbon nanotube electronic devices by Fam, Derrick Wen Hui

“…However in comparison with transistor devices, it was found that even though sensing was improved by channel alignment, electrode-CNT junction effects still played a predominant role. Since the CNTs used were a mixture of semiconducting and metallic ones, therefore in the second study, pure nanotubes were used. …”

Design, synthesis, characterization and property study of topological structures of DNA by Li, Dawei

“…Crick in 1976 in order to describe the superhelical molecular architectures of DNA that had been discovered in nucleosomes in the eukaryotic cells at an earlier time. This law has since been widely cited in textbooks and taken as the fundamental principle that governs the topological behaviors of DNA in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.…”

The insignificant characters and the grand narrative : a study of multiple implications of the insignificant characters. by Li, Shifang.

“…The latter one can serve as a mirror to reflect on the things have happened in the time period of the former one. Since I am comparing the difference in the narration of history, we have to see it from a different perspective of the History. …”

The suppression of the autonomous self in Singapore. by Li, Hansen.

“…(Koolhaas 1015 emphasis in original) As Koolhaas astutely points out, the emphasis on development in terms of national and economic progress has been a prominent consideration influencing Singapore’s policy-making and governing approach since the birth of the nation-state. Suddenly thrust with independence in 1965, “the island [Lee Kuan Yew] and his party inherit[ed] … [was] a mess: clumps of stylish colonial enclave … shabby military bases, a port, embedded in a huge, overcrowded Chinatown with a neglected hinterland of marsh … largely covered by squatter encampments” (1019). …”

Android application for independent real time locating system and its academic application by Sharma, Ritika.

“…Each router collects the information from all the tags, attaches its own information, packages the entire data and sends it to the USB dongle TI CC2531 which is connected to a PDA device which then uses the received data to locate the tags using a specific algorithm. Since the device is a PDA, it can also be on a move. …”

Cloud gaming : user input for mobile devices by Hoe, Kenny Jia Chang

“…The purpose of this project is to convert and manipulate the user input from the desktop platform to the mobile platform. Since implementation focuses on the client side of the cloud gaming system, the mobile controller can be achieved by combining JavaScript and jQuery, to facilitate an unobtrusive Document Object Model (DOM) scripting. …”

Smart algorithms for modeling urban traffic by Christian Gunjan Rajeshkumar

“…From the results obtained we conclude that, since the differences in the travel times, and the changes in the shortest paths are negligible, the speed band data provided by LTA can be used in the route guidance systems to determine the optimum routes and the shortest travel times as a solution to the rapidly increasing congestion issues in Singapore.…”

Automatic program repair and synthesis using genetic programming by Lee, Yue Yu

“…This project aims to make use of genetic programming to develop a tool which performs automatic program repair, and benchmarks used by other existing tools are also incorporated for testing how well the developed tool performs. Since the end goal would be to produce a compilable and runnable patched program from a previously buggy one, variables used for patch synthesis would need to be obtained from the original buggy program, and patches generated would need to be in the same programming language as well. …”
