Programmed Allee effect in bacteria causes a tradeoff between population spread and survival by Smith, Robert, Tan, Cheemeng, Srimani, Jaydeep K., Pai, Anand, Riccione, Katherine A., Song, Hao, You, Lingchong

“…Dispersal is necessary for spread into new habitats, but it has also been shown to inhibit spread. Theoretical studies have suggested that the presence of a strong Allee effect may account for these counterintuitive observations. …”

Whole field curvature and residual stress determination of silicon wafers by reflectometry by Ng, Chi Seng, Asundi, Anand Krishna

“…Reflectometry, a simple whole-field curvature measurement system using a novel computer aided phase shift reflection grating method has been improved to certain extend. The similar system was developed from our earlier works on Computer Aided Moiré Methods and Novel Techniques in Reflection Moiré, Experimental Mechanics (1994) in which novel structured light approach was shown for surface slope and curvature measurement. …”

Transport of intensity equation: a new approach to phase and light field by Zuo, Chao, Chen, Qian, Asundi, Anand

“…On a different note, quantitative phase can be retrieved by transport-of-intensity equation (TIE) using only object field intensities at multiple axially displaced planes. TIE has been increasingly investigated during recent years due to its unique advantages over interferometric techniques: it is non-interferometric, works with partially coherent illumination, computationally simple, no need to phase unwrapping, and does not require a complicated optical system. …”

Effect of masker orientation on masking efficacy in soundscape applications by Ong, Zhen Ting, Hong, Joo Young, Lam, Bhan, Ooi, Kenneth, Gupta, Rishabh, Gan, Woon-Seng, Chong, Shyh Hao, Feng, Jing

“…So far, investigation has been limited to a fixed masker orientation (collocated with the noise source), which is not representative of the real scenario where listeners experience maskers from different orientations in the sonic environment. …”

Fully converged integral cross sections of collision induced dissociation, four-center, and single exchange reactions, and accuracy of the centrifugal sudden approximation in H2 +... by Song, Hongwei, Lu, Yunpeng, Lee, Soo-Ying

“…The effect of the total angular momentum J on the reaction dynamics of H2 + D2 and the accuracy of the CS approximation have also been studied. It was found that the CID and SE processes occur in a wide range of J values while the 4C process can only take place in a narrow window of J values. …”
