Simulation and study on cooling plant efficiency in green data centres by Yeo, Keat Kee.

“…By conducting background research on the leading standards in data centre design and benchmarking standards for energy efficiency, a model of a data centre and its cooling plant was designed and simulated using TRNSYS. The water cooled centrifugal chiller model used in TRNSYS was validated against the design of similar chillers used in other leading simulation software and data from the chiller manufacturer. …”

Depth-of-focus extension in optical coherence tomography via multiple aperture synthesis by Ge, Xin, Wang, Xianghong, Bo, En, Luo, Yuemei, Chen, Si, Liu, Xinyu, Wang, Nanshuo, Chen, Shufen, Chen, Shi, Li, Jinhan, Liu, Linbo

“…In this paper, we report what we believe is a novel technique to overcome the depth-of-focus (DOF) limitation in optical coherence tomography (OCT). Using confocal optics on a sample arm, we scanned the illumination beam across the under-filled objective lens pupil plane by steering the beam at the pinhole using a microcylindrical lens. …”

Overcoming immunosenescence: strategies to modulate DNA damage and senescence in immune cells and fibroblasts by Kell, L

“…In this thesis, I first optimised and validated DNA damage-induced senescence (DDIS) in primary human fibroblasts and observed that these express high levels of <em>WRN</em>, a DNA repair factor. Using phage display, I identified several WRN-interacting sequences that resemble human proteins involved in mTOR signalling and protein synthesis. …”
