An analysis on the traffic processing efficiency of a combination of serial and parallel bottlenecks by Quek, Wei-Liang, Chung, Ning Ning, Chew, Lock Yue

“…Our analysis shows that for large-scale expansion, a new class of processing bottleneck known as the serial bottleneck is more efficient than the conventional parallel bottleneck in the absence of human driving behavior. When characteristics such as slow-to-start is considered in the model, the consequential delay due to human reaction time not only degrade the overall efficiency, it also diminishes the efficacy of serial processing such that a serial bottleneck is no longer tenable for traffic processing. …”

Genome-wide gene expression profiling of the Angelman syndrome mice with Ube3a mutation by Low, Daren., Chen, Ken-Shiung.

“…We observed 64 differentially expressed transcripts (7 up-regulated and 57 down-regulated) showing more than 1.5-fold differences in expression (p<0.05) when compared to wildtype mice. Pathway analysis shows that these genes are implicated in three major networks associated with signalin, nervous system development and cell death. …”

Developing a novel radical source for cold, controlled reaction studies by Wu, LY

“…In the first studies with molecular oxygen, the second generation magnetic radical filter was able to preferentially focus and guide a portion of the ground state O2 molecules when centered on the beam axis. When the magnetic radical filter elements were moved to positions optimised by CMA-ES, it was effective as a tuneable velocity filter. …”
