See-through and spatial augmented reality - a novel framework for human-robot interaction by Dinh, Quang Huy, Viatcheslav, Iastrebov, Seet, Gim Lee Gerald

“…First, using a projector for projecting information seems to be fine for an indoor application. On the contrary, it is very difficult or even impossible for users to view this source of information in outdoor contexts. …”

Building occupant sensing : occupancy prediction and behavior recognition by Zhu, Qingchang

“…Occupancy levels are the coarse information, but occupants’ behaviors are the fine- grained ones. The occupant behavior recognition problem is further divided into simple motion-related activity recognition with inertial measurements and energy- related sound event recognition. …”

Identification of novel interactions between MicroRNAs and pattern-recognition receptor signalling in dentritic cells by Pichulik, T

“…Recent evidence has suggested that PRR signalling regulates the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs), important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, which have been shown to fine-tune innate immune responses.</p> <p>This thesis describes the discovery of miR-650, a novel PRR-responsive miRNA that is down regulated in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) on PRR stimulation. …”

Preparation and characterization of magnetite ferrofluid for generating current induced by Ahmad, Che Sulaiman

“…The material was crushed with mortar and pestle and sieved to obtain a fine powder. Next, the magnetite milled with oleic acid with different times of 10 hours, 20 hours, 30 hours and 40 hours. …”

Energy management of microgrids by Ju, Chengquan

“…In order to deal with stochastic behaviors of RESs and loads in microgrids, scenario reduction techniques are extended by imposing auxiliary constraints so that the optimal solution space is narrowed down. By implementing the fine-tuned algorithm, case studies with benchmarks have well validated the reliability has been significantly enhanced at little cost of additional expenditure. …”

Elemental characteristics of particulate matter (Pm10 and Pm2.5) from peat swamp area in kuala pahang by Eng, Hwai Ern, Teoh, Chee Shan, Firdaus, Ismail, Abdul Syukor, Abd Razak, Suryati, Sulaiman

“…Particulate matter (PM) is normally being divided into two common groups known as: the coarse fraction particle with a range of sizing from 2.5 to 10 UM (PM10–PM2.5), and the fine fraction particles with a dimension smaller than 2.5 UM (PM2.5). …”

Synthesis of Au@Pd core/shell nanomaterials for high-performance ethanol oxidation reactions by Xu, Weichang

“…This thesis summarizes my postgraduate research on the studies of Pd-based electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation reactions, mainly on two directions: (1) the fabrication of a high-surface-area electrode, Pd coated Au nanowire (AuNW) forest on porous nickel foam substrate, to enhance the catalytic activity of ethanol oxidation reactions, and (2) cyclic voltammetry (CV) guided deposition of sub-monolayer Pd on Au surface with fine-tuning Pd thickness and real-time monitoring of the electrochemical properties. …”

Cell and tissue specific functional genomics of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis by Lledo Lara, A

“…Overall 1,227 genes (FDR<0.05) were differentially expressed between uninvolved and lesional psoriasis epidermis (n=3) with enrichment of metabolic and immune-related pathways. Integration of GWAS fine-mapping data with epigenetic and gene expression profiles implicated a potentially functional variant in the 2p15 GWAS locus modulating B3GNT2.…”
