Establishment of optimise strategies in production of recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen for chip-based antibody detection approach by Tam, Yew Joon

“…From the results, an optimised cell disruption strategy with up-scale adaptability consisted of a number of passes set at 20 times, biomass concentration of 7.70 g/L of dry cell weight (DCW) and pulse pressure at 1,029 bar was demonstrated and was shown to increase cell disruption efficiency by 2- fold and 4-fold for specific protein release of HBsAg when compared to glass bead method yielding 75.68% cell disruption rate (CDR) and HBsAg concentration of 29.20 mg/L, respectively. …”

Facebook as a Pedagogical Tool in Enhancing Students' Engagement and Stimulating Critical Thinking Skills (S/O 14517) by Abdul Majid, Jamaliah, Abu Bakar, Robiah

“…Focusing solely on the experimental group, the regression results show that the coefficients on Facebook_Response is statistically non-significant, suggesting that among the experimental group of students, their responses toward Facebook learning activities have no impact on the critical thinking skills. When analysing the impact of using Facebook on students' critical thinking skills by comparing the experimental group with the control group, the results shows that the coefficients on FB Response is statistically non-significant for both mini cases, but it is statistically significant in a positive direction for the group assignment. …”

Synthesizing photorealistic images with deep generative learning by Zheng, Chuanxia

“…Crucially, a restrictive CNN with small and non-overlapping receptive fields (RF) is employed for token representation, which allows the transformer to explicitly model long-range context relations with equal importance in all layers, without implicitly confounding neighboring tokens when larger RFs are used. Extensive experiments demonstrate superior performance compared to previous CNN-based methods on several datasets. …”

Rotor angle stability-constrained dispatch and control of large-scale wind penetrated power system by Yuan, Heling

“…In general, four main effects on power system transient stability are: 1) wind generation has no contribution to system inertia and system with synchronous generators replaced by wind turbines will lead to reduction of inertia, 2) power electronics converter-based interfacing is added when wind turbines are implemented, which will change the dynamic behavior of the system, 3) power dispatch of synchronous machines will change fast to compensate wind power variation, 4) the magnitude and direction of power flows will fluctuate quickly and randomly in the transmission lines. …”
