How do hawker vendors achieve upward social mobility despite low educational status? by Cheang, Joanne Zu Er, Khoe, Wei Jun, Lim, Yu Cheng

“…The results showed that hawkers need to embody cultural capital that includes grit, skill and knowledge, language to communicate with different customers, as well as embody sacrifice, multiple roles, experience and passion. Hawkers also have to deal with precarity in their job including the rising cost of food and rents, as well as finding a good location for their business. …”

Global monitoring of volcanic SO2 degassing with unprecedented resolution from TROPOMI onboard Sentinel-5 Precursor by Barrington, Charlotte, Taisne, Benoit, Theys, N., Hedelt, P., De Smedt, I., Lerot, C., Yu, H., Vlietinck, J., Pedergnana, M., Arellano, S., Galle, B., Fernandez, D., Carlito, C. J. M., Delgado-Granados, H., Loyola, D., Van Roozendael, M.

“…We report here the first volcanic SO2 measurements from the hyperspectral TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) launched in October 2017 onboard the ESA’s Sentinel-5 Precursor platform. Using the operational processing algorithm, we explore the benefit of improved spatial resolution to the monitoring of global volcanic degassing. …”

Are two teachers better than one? Team teaching in TBL by Yang, Lishan, Rajalingam, Preman

“…Teaching the medical sciences using team-based learning (TBL) is a complex task, which requires knowledge of both the subject matter and pedagogy. To deal with these increased demands on the teacher, a strategy where every TBL session is co-taught by a Content Expert and a Facilitator was implemented. …”

Exchange rate prediction based on machine learning methods by Hong, Yuyue

“…A common use of it is doing some forecasting works in time-series because it can be used to deal with regression problems. Neural Network is an efficient machine learning method to solve forecasting problems. …”

Identifying individuals in video by combining 'generative' and discriminative head models by Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…Whilst much work has been done on (mainly frontal) face detection and recognition, current methods are not sufficiently robust to deal with the wide variations in pose and appearance found in such video. …”

Single view reconstruction of curved surfaces by Prasad, M, Zisserman, A, Fitzgibbon, A

“…We increase modelling power in several ways: (i) We represent general 3D surfaces, rather than 2.5D Monge patches; (ii) We describe a closed-form method to reconstruct a smooth surface from its image apparent contour, including multilocal singularities ("kidney-bean" self-occlusions); (iii) We show how to incorporate user-specified data such as surface normals, interpolation and approximation constraints; (iv) We show how this algorithm can be adapted to deal with surfaces of arbitrary genus. We also show how the modelling process can be automated for simple object shapes and views, using a-priori object class information. …”

Estimating illumination direction from textured images by Varma, M, Zisserman, A

“…In this paper, we extend the theory to deal with cases of spatially varying albedo. First, we generalise the theory to explain why their method should work even for certain types of spatially varying albedo. …”

Opportunities for decarbonization in Russia by Sharmina, M

“…Most recently, tax breaks for shale oil have led to a series of new exploration contracts with international investors. A gas supply deal with China has been fast tracked and signed after a decade of negotiations.…”

Cognitively inspired rule-plus-exemplar based pattern classification by Sit, Wing Yee

Synthesis of polymeric materials derived from abundant natural feedstocks using non-toxic heavy metals by Navickaite, G

“…</p> <br> <p>This Thesis begins with an introduction to bio-derived polylactide (PLA) produced <em>via</em> the ROP of lactide. An overview of previously reported main group and rare-earth ROP initiators is provided, presenting challenges in the development of systems that combine high activity, selectivity, robustness, and low toxicity. …”

A Formal Framework for Modular Synchronous System Design by Marinescu, Maria-Cristina V, Rinard, Martin C

“…The goal is to reduce the design time and effort required to build correct, efficient, complex systems and to eliminate the need for the designer to deal directly with global synchronization and concurrency issues. …”

Psychoacoustic model compensation for robust speaker verification in environmental noise by Panda, Ashish, Srikanthan, Thambipillai

“…We present a model compensation scheme based on the psychoacoustic principles that adapts the model parameters in order to reduce the training and verification mismatch. To deal with scenarios where accurate noise estimation is difficult, a modified multiconditioning scheme is proposed. …”

Logistics coordination in vendor-buyer systems by Wang, Ye Xin

“…In this dissertation, we deal with the logistics coordination issues in two distinct vendorbuyer systems, where the vendor and buyer may represent any two upstream-downstream logistics participants that are independently managed, whether they belong to different companies or simply behave as such. …”
