Improving year-round protection against influenza infection in the tropics by Young, Barnaby

“…Vaccination is the main pharmacological method available to reduce transmission and prevent infection, but evidence that vaccine induced protection with the standard dose inactivated influenza vaccine lasts year-round is lacking. This thesis presents a review of influenza epidemiology in Asia and the association between the pattern of seasonality and latitude and climate; a systematic review and meta-analysis of test-negative design (TND) case-control studies in order to generate summary estimates of changes in vaccine effectiveness with time since vaccination; results of a cohort study that investigates whether there is evidence for waning vaccine protection against severe influenza in Singapore; an observer-blind randomised clinical trial of annual versus biannual influenza vaccination in older adults, and further analysis of predictors of waning antibody titres post-vaccination.…”

Prospects for the container shipping industry over the next 5 years by Soh, Jia Jie

“…Results revealed that due to a lack of governmental support, the introduction of LNG would not have any impacts on the container carrying capacity in the next 5 years. However given sufficient amount of time, there would be an increasing governmental support, and the lower cost of LNG fuel compared to bunker fuel oil, will eventually lead to an increase in LNG fuelled container vessels. …”

Developing a portable, high-speed, low-cost desktop photoacoustic tomography imaging system by Kalva, Sandeep Kumar

“…This is more advantageous for high speed imaging. Therefore, to improve the imaging speed, we have used PLD along with 8 SUTRs rotating in 45 degree (instead of 1 SUTR rotating in 360 degree) and obtained a high scan speed of 0.5 s in vivo. …”

An acoustic remote sensing method for high-precision propeller rotation and speed estimation of unmanned underwater vehicles by Railey, Kristen, DiBiaso, Dino, Schmidt, Henrik

“…In shallow water field experiments, measuring motor noise was a superior method to the DEMON algorithm for estimating UUV speed. In negligible currents, and when the UUV turn-per-knot ratio was known, measuring motor noise produced speed predictions within the error range of the vehicle's inertial navigation system's reported speed. …”
