Analysis of composite bonded joints by Chui, Christopher Shao Liang

“…Film adhesive SA 80 was primarily used in all three experiments and the thickness is varied by placing 1, 3 and 5 layers of SA 80, while the bondline thickness is controlled by the length of the film adhesive used, and we investigated bond lengths of 25.4mm, 50.8mm and 76.2mm. …”

Self-assembly of shape-controlled nanoparticles into tunable two- dimensional metasurfaces at the oil- water interface by Yang, Yijie

“…In the above works, we study the interfacial behavior by understanding the interaction between particle surface and two liquid phase. In Chapter 5, we study the particle-particle interaction to achieve the control over assembled structure by using two surface ligands with similar bulk wettability.…”

Towards compressed sensing for ground-to-air monostatic radar by Dauwels, Justin, Kannan, Srinivasan

“…Most of the studies on CS radar are often conducted under unrealistic conditions where the SNR is much higher than in typical radar applications (e.g., SNR > 5dB). In this paper, we investigate how to improve the CS reconstruction by using coherent integration over N pulses. …”

Virus-specific T lymphocytes home to the skin during natural dengue infection by Rivino, Laura, Kumaran, Emmanuelle A., Thein, Tun-Linn, Too, Chien Tei, Gan, Victor Chih Hao, Hanson, Brendon J., Wilder-Smith, Annelies, Bertoletti, Antonio, Gascoigne, Nicholas R. J., Lye, David Chien, Leo, Yee Sin, Akbar, Arne N., Kemeny, David M., MacAry, Paul A.

“…We show that natural infection induces dengue-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes that are highly activated and proliferating, exhibit antiviral effector functions, and express CXCR3, CCR5, and the skin-homing marker cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA). …”

Density-based clustering of data streams at multiple resolutions by Wan, Li

“…In this project we propose an algorithm that (1) computes and updates synopsis information in constant time; (2) allows users to discover clusters at multiple resolutions; (3) determines the right time for users to generate clusters from the synopsis information; (4) generates clusters of higher purity than existing algorithms; and (5) determines the right threshold function for density-based clustering based on the fading model of stream data. …”

Transcriptome analysis for the identification of cellular markers related to trabecular meshwork differentiation by Sathiyanathan, Padmapriya, Tay, Cheryl Y., Stanton, Lawrence W.

“…After removal of genes expressed in the cornea and sclera, 18 genes were identified that were differentially expressed in the TM relative to the other samples. CDH23, F5, KCNAB1, FGF9, SPP1, and HEY1 were selected among the genes highly expressed in the TM, together with BDNF which was repressed, compared to progenitors for further investigation. …”

Geometric shapes effect of in-duct perforated orifices on aeroacoustics damping performances at low Helmholtz and Strouhal number by Zhao, Dan, Ji, Chenzhen, Wang, Bing

“…Here six shapes are considered, i.e., (1) triangle, (2) square, (3) pentagon, (4) hexagon, (5) star, and (6) circle. It is shown that the orifice shape has little influence on power absorption Δ and reflection coefficient R at a lower Helmholtz number He ≤ 0.0903. …”

Additive manufacturing of electrochemical interfaces : simultaneous detection of biomarkers by Ho, Eugene Hong Zhuang, Ambrosi, Adriano, Pumera, Martin

“…A real sample analysis of Vitamin C tablet (500 mg), Vitacimin was conducted using the 3D-printed Au electrode obtaining a variation from claimed concentration of ascorbic acid of only about 0.5%. Therefore, electrodes fabricated by 3D printing would certainly represent a viable alternative to conventional electrodes for efficient electrochemical analysis in the future.…”
