Photodynamic bubble-generating microneedles for enhanced transdermal cancer therapy by Ning, Xiaoyu, Chen, Si, Yang, Yating, Hwang, Jangsun, Wiraja, Christian, Zhang, Chi, Liu, Wei, Liu, Linbo, Xu, Chenjie

“…The drug delivery efficiency of this platform is first evaluated ex vivo using fresh mouse skins and human keloid tissues. Later, in the tumor-bearing mouse model, the platform enhances the skin penetration of photosensitizers (i.e., methylene blue) and correspondingly improves the efficacy of photodynamic therapy.…”

Preprocessing and authentication of 2D barcodes by Chen, Changsheng.

“…In this thesis, we investigate the detection step of a barcode by modeling its finder pattern as a 2D signal with finite rate of innovations and reconstructing it through block by block operation. Then, a quality checking step of the barcode images is added to reject those poor quality images for saving the time in processing the undecodable images and avoiding wrongly decoded information. …”

Preparation and characterisation of smart polymer gels for wearable electronics by Shen, Clarence Xuanyi

“…The dielectric layer that was fabricated with a catechol-group polymer and Ionic Liquid, had shown healing capabilities when placed under conditions at 100°C for 10 minutes. Furthermore, a check on the capacitance value had shown that these dielectric layers functioned at above 1μF/𝑐𝑚2 at 20Hz, which are high capacitance values. …”

Automatic retrieval of visual continuity errors in movies by Pickup, L, Zisserman, A

“…<p>Continuity errors occur in many movies and television series, in spite of careful checking by those employed to minimise them. In this work we develop a scheme for automatically detecting these errors and producing a ranked list of the most likely inconsistencies, working from a commercial DVD release. …”
