Deep generative model for remote sensing by Kok, Melvin Xinwei

“…This is in contrast to the EO imagery, whose quality is subject to changes in illumination from the sun and also changes in weather conditions like cloud cover. However, unlike EO images which have good availability due to large commercial projects (e.g., Google Maps), SAR image data is more scarce and more expensive to obtain. …”

Predicative adjectives in Thai: diachronic changes in the past century by Jaratjarungkiat, Sureenate, Park, Kyung-Eun, Tan, Samuel Yuan Han

“…The reason behind this change is that these 18 adjectives once shared a noun-like property in which they performed the function of abstract nouns, but have since lost this property which accounts for why they may no longer co-occur with the copula /pen/. …”

Musculoskeletal regeneration: a zebrafish perspective by Kaliya-Perumal, Arun-Kumar, Ingham, Philip William

“…These models are well suited to testing gene- or pharmaco-therapy for the benefit of conditions like muscle tears and fractures. Insights from further studies on whole body part regeneration, a hallmark of the zebrafish model, have the potential to complement regenerative strategies to achieve faster and desired healing following injuries without any scar formation and, in the longer run, drive progress towards the realisation of large-scale regeneration in mammals. …”

Optoelectronic memristive devices for retinomorphic application - 1 by Tun, Thaw Tint Te

“…The optical RESET property of the WTe2 devices was also confirmed, and they were believed to possess light-dosage tunable synaptic characteristics which are essential to perform pre-processing of the sensed image data like in biological vision systems. With the favorable optical properties confirmed in WTe2 devices, further works can be continued upon this work by fabricating a crossbar array structure that is also optimized for light sensing so that the potential usage of these devices for a retinomorphic system is fully unlocked, and engineering advances in vision technologies can progress.…”

FIeld self-delivery system using quadruple legged robot and robot manipulator by Koo, Jie Hui

“…It uses fused image and point cloud data and needs neither machine learning for locating objects, nor computing intensive point cloud algorithms like template matching. Thirdly, complex behaviours for picking up and dropping off objects are implemented in a behaviour tree, as well as reliably aligning to target locations, showcasing the flexibility and extensibility of the robot behaviour implementation in this project. …”
