Automatic image matching and applications by Singhal, Aseem.

“…While image matching, that is, finding correspondence between two images is a trivial manual job, it scales new heights when done automatically by a system. This is largely due to different kind of changes that might have taken place between the two images. …”

Solubility studies of a viral proteins by Singh, Parvinder.

“…An X protein (HBx) is produced during the virus replication and in order to study its role in the progression of the virus, a regular continuous supply of pure bioactive HBx proteins is required. Presently, when HBx is produced recombinantly, they form inclusion bodies and this leads to very poor yields of bioactive HBx proteins. …”

Rheology on CNT-filled polymer nanocomposites (II) by Chan, Xue Shuang.

“…A major focus was to investigate on the influence of acid-treated MWCNTs and pristine MWCNTs on the rheological properties of the composite system for different MWCNTs concentration. When acid-treated MWCNTs were added, the increase in dynamic moduli and viscosity were more significant as compared to the composite system containing pristine MWCNTs. …”

Theatre of the street : subverting otherness in photography. by Rr Apriani Kartika Dristiningsih.

“…I will be discussing the works of surrealist photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, as well as those from Jeff Wall and Philip-Lorca diCorcia to better understand how the photographed subjects can adopt the pose to subvert their Otherness when being photographed. In this discursive process, I will first explain how Cartier-Bresson defines the genre of street photography, where he coined the term the “decisive moment” – the opportune timing where all the elements within his vision form perfect geometry with each other. …”
