Clustering-based solutions for energy efficiency, adaptability and resilience in IoT networks by Shivaraman, Nitin

“…The resilience of C-sync to byzantine faults is also demonstrated by a quick recovery of correct time information when faulty information was introduced. The algorithms presented in this thesis collectively achieve an energy-efficient, adaptable and fault-resilient IoT network organically to solve the research gaps despite the orthogonal requirements. …”

Nature-inspired lightweight auxetic structures for enhanced stiffness and absorption capacity by Zhang, Ee Teng

“…For dynamic impacts, it is recommended to prioritize the ease of deformation in the auxetic design. In contrast, when dealing with quasi-static loading scenarios, the focus should remain on enhancing the auxetic effect itself. …”

Salient keypoint detectors and compact feature descriptors for 3D perception by Prakhya, Sai Manoj

“…B-SHOT requires 32 times lesser memory for its representation while being 6 times faster in feature descriptor matching, when compared to the SHOT. Finally, for the applications that require online transfer of 3D descriptors over a network, there is a need to develop compressed 3D descriptors with even lower memory footprint, i.e., bandwidth and yet have high descriptiveness. …”

A combined numerical and experimental approach to investigations of body-freedom flutter on flying wings by Ang, Elijah Hao Wei

“…BTF and BFF experience different dominant modes while undergoing flutter, with BTF’s dominant mode being torsion and BFF being the rigid-body short period mode, resulting in lower BFF speeds when compared to BTF. In general, BTF speeds increase as weights are moved towards the wingtip or increasing tip weights, which increases the inertia of the system to enhance stability. …”

Evaluation of diabetic wound healing properties of moringa oleifera lam using in vitro and in vivo wound models by Muhammad Amali, Abubakar

“…The in vitro test results demonstrated that, crude methanolic extract and aqueous fraction of M. oleifera significantly stimulated proliferation and migration of HDF cells (p<0.05) at 24,48 and 72 hours after treatment to close the artificially wounded area when compared to untreated control cells. The distance was measured and analyzed quantitatively at time interval of 0, 24, 48 and 72 hrs after the scratch. …”

Interventions for smoking cessation in hospitalised patients by Streck, JM, Rigotti, NA, Livingstone-Banks, J, Tindle, HA, Clair, C, Munafò, MR, Sterling-Maisel, C, Hartmann-Boyce, J

“…Counselling provided only in hospital, without post‐discharge support, may have a modest impact on quit rates, but evidence is less certain. When all patients receive counselling in the hospital, high‐certainty evidence indicates that providing both counselling and pharmacotherapy after discharge increases quit rates compared to no post‐discharge intervention. …”
