Further studies of extreme learning machine and compressed signal detection by Cao, Jiuwen

“…Utilizing the oracle estimator in CS, we provide a theoretical bound of the probability of error when the noise in CS is white Gaussian noise. We then consider the Bayesian approach to signal detection in CS using compressed measurements directly in Chapter 6. …”

论致良知的公共伦理意涵 = Analysis of the value of Zhi Liang Zhi as public ethics by 吴建璋 Oh, Jian Zhang

“…Prior to this, from the previous Song Dynasty to the early stages of Ming Dynasty, the society was heavily influenced by the Chengzhu school of thought (程朱理学) which proposes that tianli （天理）is something that is out there in the world for people to know, to acquire and that one must strive to understand tianli and eliminate the renyu （人欲）which is innate in one’s consciousness. However, when Wang proposed Zhi Liang Zhi in the mid-Ming era, it was a revolutionary thought which suggests that tianli is innate in one’s consciousness just as renyu and that one can eventually extend this innate tianli to the rest of the world, or in a modern sense formulating public ethics. …”

Investigation of the recyclability of applications involving MgO cement by Lim, Chin Haow

“…Reactive MgO cement has been considered a serious contender in this regard as it has a lower clinkering temperature, ability to sequester CO2 in the curing process and can be fully recycled when it is used as the only binder for cement product through calcination. …”

Chiral spin textures in a frustrated kondo lattice model by Munir Shahzad

“…The magnetic interaction between the spins is mediated by the motion of electrons; on the other hand, the transport of these electrons is affected by the underlying spin textures. These systems when arranged on geometrically frustrated lattices stabilize topologically non-trivial chiral configurations of localized spins that drive unconventional transport phenomenon such as topological or geometrical Hall effect. …”

Novel nitric oxide donors for the dispersal and control of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms by Poh, Wee Han

“…Furoxans with longer half-lives, LL4212 and LL4216, could also induce biofilm dispersal, but only when used at higher concentrations. As LL4212 and LL4216 were later found to affect the growth of P. aeruginosa, they were considered unsuitable for use as biofilm dispersing agents. …”

Insertion of core CpG island element into human CMV promoter for enhancing recombinant protein expression stability in CHO cells by Mariati, Yeo, Jessna H. M., Koh, Esther Y. C., Ho, Steven C. L., Yang, Yuansheng

“…The modified hCMV with one copy of IE inserted between the enhancer and core promoter in reverse orientation (MR1) was most effective at enhancing expression stability without compromising expression level when compared with the wild-type (WT) hCMV. A third of 18 EGFP expressing clones generated using MR1 retained 70% of their starting expression level after 8 weeks of culture in the absence of selection pressure, while none of 18 WT hCMV generated clones had expression above 50%. …”
