Interval job scheduling with machine launch cost by Ren, Runtian, Zhu, Yuqing, Li, Chuanyou, Tang, Xueyan

“…In the non-clairvoyant online setting, we design a O(μ)-competitive Modified First-Fit algorithm which is near optimal (μ is the max/min job processing length ratio). In the clairvoyant online setting, we propose an asymptotically optimal O(logμ)-competitive algorithm based on our Modified First-Fit strategy.…”

Asymmetric prefrontal cortex activation associated with mutual gaze of mothers and children during shared play by Azhari, Atiqah, Bizzego, Andrea, Balagtas, Jan Paolo Macapinlac, Leng, Kelly Sng Hwee, Esposito, Gianluca

“…This study used functional Near-infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) hyperscanning on 22 pairs of mothers and their preschool-aged children as they engaged in a 10-min free-play session together. The play interaction was video recorded and instances of mutual gaze were coded for after the experiment. …”

Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…In order to do so, the device must be able to sustain a continuous production of fiber for at least 1 minute and have a production rate higher than 1 mg/min. Moreover, the device has to be economical to fabricate and easy to set up because it is meant for laboratory scale production of microfiber. …”

Polyamide-imide hollow fiber membranes crosslinked with amine-appended inorganic networks for application in solvent-resistant nanofiltration under low operating pressure by Lim, Siow Kee, Setiawan, Laurentia, Bae, Tae-Hyun, Wang, Rong

“…The resultant membranes were solvent-stable and showed higher hydrophilicity and better mechanical property. A 30-min conditioning with either isopropanol or deionized water after the crosslinking reaction was found to affect the morphology of the membranes and thus their nanofiltration performance. …”
