Influence of Wi-Fi on bacterial growth and anti-biotic effect on bacteria by Wong, Jerome

“…It was suspected that Wi-Fi radiation would have no effect on bacterial growth which was the case in this experiment. A flow cell experiment will be done as well to test the effect as well with anti-biotics introduced to some channels. …”

Development of a low power motion tracking wireless node for IoT applications by Christina, Grace

“…These tracking nodes then regularly send sensors’ movement data to a central device, which in this case is a Raspberry Pi for further processing. Fusion of data from multiple tracking nodes can hence be used to track the joint orientation of body parts that they are attached to, such as knees, hips or ankles. …”

Politics in films : a historical study on film censorship and the emergence on public spaces in Singapore by Tan, Lilian

“…Using censored films of both fiction and documentary genres as case studies, the next chapter historicise the following films through the recurring theme of political dynamism and a critical analysis of these films based on three aspects: 1) film portrayal of the state, 2) rationale behind the censorship decisions, and 3) the implication of the ban in the time of broadcast. …”

Finite element vibration analysis using bar and beam elements with a new method for lumping mass matrix by Tan, Jia Yi

“…The project will then have to test the accuracy of the code by calculating the lowest natural frequencies and comparing it against the exact analytical solutions. In this case, we look to utilise the inverse iteration method which also acts as the backbone of the MATLAB code.…”

Extended Mellin integral representations for the absolute value of the gamma function by Privault, Nicolas

“…We derive Mellin integral representations in terms of Macdonald functions for the squared absolute value s↦|Γ(a+is)|2 of the gamma function and its Fourier transform when a<0 is non-integer, generalizing known results in the case a>0. This representation is based on a renormalization argument using modified Bessel functions of the second kind, and it applies to the representation of the solutions of a Fokker–Planck equation.…”

Correlation-based estimation of cutting force coefficients for ball-end milling by Dhupia, Jaspreet Singh, Girsang, Irving P.

“…This allows a quick estimation of the cutting force coefficients regardless of the chosen cutting conditions and tool-workpiece material, which is often the case in industrial machining processes. This proposed method has been validated by comparison of cutting force coefficients obtained using conventional estimation technique for a slot ball-end milling test. …”
