Electrodeposition of metal nanostructures for plasmonic sensing by Mueller, Aaron David

“…In this thesis, a cost-effective method for top-down fabrication of metallic nanostructures with deep-subwavelength dimensions is explored, finding use in plasmonic sensing applications. Currently, few methods exist for the fabrication of such metallic structures with deep sub-optical-wavelength feature sizes. …”

Detecting adversarial samples for deep neural networks through mutation testing by Tan, Kye Yen

“…This is a serious breach of security in CNNs which may lead to disastrous consequences in security reliant applications. Finding a defence mechanism for these attacks are imperative in ensuring the safe operation of CNNs. …”

Preparation, motion study and application of autonomous micro and nano devices by Maric, Tijana

“…Furthermore, our study was based on the stability and durability of micromotors over prolonged periods of time with a focus on the influence of ageing in “storage” conditions- the difference in performance of ‘freshly prepared’ and ‘old’ micromotors could have a significant impact on the reliability and reproducibility of the micromotors. From our findings, it was discovered that the performance and morphologies of ‘new’ and ‘old’ differ greatly over the period of study. …”

Potential of liquefied natural gas cold energy recovery on board ships by Baldasso, Enrico, Mondejar, Maria E., Mazzoni, Stefano, Romagnoli, Alessandro, Haglind, Fredrik

“…The results of the study indicate that the greatest fuel savings can be attained when the vessel is powered by a low pressure fuel supply system, reaching up to 2.4%, and that the most promising solution for recovering the cold energy is its use in the organic Rankine cycle unit. The findings of this work provide the scientific basis needed for further research work and the subsequent commercialization of installations of cold energy recovery on ships.…”

Development of green nutrient delivery substrates for hydroponics culture by Tan, Hui Lin

“…Pak Choy (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis) and Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) plant tests were conducted with the composite sponges to determine their effectiveness in plant growth enhancement against the commercial substrate Oasis cube (control) and to compare the effectiveness of sponges made from CMF and CNF. Our findings demonstrated the ability of the composite sponges in enhancing plant growth, and their potential as hydroponics substrate that can also function as agricultural fertiliser.…”

Event detection in spatiotemporal soccer data using neural networks by Wilbert

“…However, all neural networks were unable to detect ‘Tackle’ event successfully. Nonetheless, the findings from this project still further verify that using neural networks is a highly suitable approach to perform automatic event detection in spatiotemporal soccer data. …”

A meta-analysis of the effect of virtual reality on reducing public speaking anxiety by Lim, Mei Hui

“…This meta-analysis consisted of an examination of the homogeneity of the studies (the I2 indexes), publication bias (Kendall’s tau and Egger’s regression values) and an estimation of the grand effect size for all studies. The three major findings of this meta-analysis are: (1) Overall, VR had a statistically significant effect on reducing public speaking anxiety, which suggests that VR is a useful and promising therapeutic tool for the treatment of public speaking anxiety; (2) Studies that found VR to be effective in the treatment of public speaking anxiety conducted an average of approximately six VR sessions, with each session lasting around 37 minutes; and (3) VR is statistically as effective as other treatment methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy. …”

Human genetic determinants of tamoxifen metabolism by Koh, Everett Chier Wei

“…In combination, rs5751245 and rs2413670 explain up to 30% of the variance observed in steady-state serum endoxifen levels. Our findings further contribute to our understanding of the genetic architecture of endoxifen metabolism, with the potential for translation into better outcomes for estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer patients.…”

Psychological predictors of short-term lower-limb orthotic device adherence : an exploratory study by Leong, Utek

“…Only body image disturbance [t(35) = -2.20 , p = .035] and the HRQoL domain of energy/fatigue [t(35) = 2.08 , p = .045] significantly changed after 30 days of wear. Our findings here emphasise the need for more concordant patient-clinician relationships to promote orthotic device adherence.…”

Distributed algorithms for computing a fixed point of multi-agent nonexpansive operators by Li, Xiuxian, Xie, Lihua

“…This paper investigates the problem of finding a fixed point for a global nonexpansive operator under time-varying communication graphs in real Hilbert spaces, where the global operator is separable and composed of an aggregate sum of local nonexpansive operators. …”
