Understanding of disease severity of thalassemia. by Tao, Feng.

“…Thalassemia is an inherited autosomal recessive blood disease, which is caused by imbalanced expression of α and non-α hemoglobin subunits. Since quantitative relationship between globin chains is the major cause of disease, the severity of thalassemia disease is hypothesized correlated with quantities of hemoglobin subunits and the degradation efficiency of excess globins. …”

Switched-capacitorized DC/DC converters by Lee, Yeow Boon.

“…It uses only capacitors to achieve voltage-lift, which makes it capable of increasing the voltage output tremendously. Since it does not use any inductor and also requires less electrical components, it will have a small size yet having high power density. …”

Zinc oxide ultraviolet light-emitting devices : design and fabrication by Yuen, Clement

“…This is because the FCVA technique has major advantages: 1) The lattice-matching requirement between the substrate and the deposited film is not needed, 2) it is a low-temperature deposition process (<350 oC) due to the high kinetic energies of the deposited species, 3) it allows the fabrication of thin films on large substrates (as large as 6” in diameter), 4) it provides freedom of choices in the target materials for the fabrication of doped and undoped films, since the stoichiometry of the deposited films are independent of that of the targets, 5) it produces microparticle-free thin films, and 6) it is a cost-effective technique to fabricate thin films that is well established and accepted by the industry for mass production.…”

Enantioseparation with cationic β-cyclodextrin chiral stationary phases in supercritical fluid chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography by Wang, Renqi

“…In order to get optically pure drugs, both analytical and preparative grade chiral separation technology has been developed. Since the first introduction of anionic moiety into β-cyclodextrin by Stalcup et al, the highly enantioseparation abilities of anionic β-cyclodextrin towards basic racemates have attracted chromatographers attention. …”

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. …”
