Determining the location of localized defect in the perpendicular junction configuration with the use of electron beam induced current by Phua, Poh Chin., Ong, Vincent K. S.

“…The model of the localized defect used in this paper is characterized by minority carriers with constant lifetimes that are lower than those in the bulk. An electron beam with an extended generation profile was used in a two-dimensional (2-D) device simulator, for the verification of the theory.…”

Minimum input sensitivity of high-order multi-stage sigma–delta modulator with first-order front-end by Ong, C. K., Siek, Liter, Ng, L. S.

“…However, component matching has become more stringent than a single-stage modulator. Mismatches cause loss in the modulators signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), but to a certain class of multi- stage modulators, discontinuity is also apparent in its SNR characteristics. …”

Temperature and stress distribution in the SOI structure during fabrication by Tan, Cher Ming, Gan, Zhenghao, Gao, Xiaofang

“…Although it is expected that the furnace temperature and withdrawal velocity are the key factors in determining the mechanical stresses, for the present bonding strength of wafers via wafer bonding technology, the withdrawal velocity must be less than 100 mm/min, and under such a withdrawal velocity, the furnace temperature is also an insignificant factor with regard to the induced stress.…”

Mechanistic and thermodynamic studies of oxyanion sorption by various synthetic Mg/Al layered double hydroxides by Lim, Teik-Thye, Goh, Kok Hui, Goei, Ronn, Dong, Zhili

“…LDHs prepared by the fast coprecipitation with hydrothermal treatment (FCHT) method and sol-gel with solvothermal treatment method (SGST) had higher oxyanion (i.e. arsenate) removal efficiency than those prepared by the conventional routes, owing to their lower carbonate content, higher surface area, larger pore volume, larger pore size, and nanocrystalline characteristic. …”

Ammonia volatilization from urea as affected by tropical‐based palm oil mill effluent (Pome) and peat by Siva, K. B., Aminuddin, H., Husni, M. H. A., Manas, A. R.

“…Results showed that reduction in NH3 volatilization by peattreated urea was more pronounced than that of POME in both soils. Such reduction was accompanied by a corresponding increase in NH4 recovery and a decrease in pH particularly at the microsite. …”

Effect of mangostin on the functional activity and integrity of the Plasmodium falciparum and infected and Uninfected red blood cells membrane by Ibraheem, Z.O., Majid, R.A., Noor, S.M., Farook, M.D., Basir, R.

“…Furthermore, it showed a good inhibitory effect against merozoite invasion and the plasmodium-induced new permeation pathway at concentrations less than the cytotoxic dose against RBCs and the parasite. …”

Classification of C. annuum and C. frutescens ripening stages: how well does deep learning perform? by Ibrahim, Zarina, Hanafi, Marsyita, Shafie, Siti Mariam, Syed Ahmad, Sharifah M.

Optimising public transit using big data and machine learning by Lee, Kelvin

“…In the first part of the thesis, we explore a predictive optimisation framework that employs machine learning techniques to forecast passenger demand, which are then used to optimise a demand-responsive transit service. Our findings demonstrate that using the predictive optimisation framework results in superior and more resilient solutions than relying on point estimates. …”
