Synthesis of curvulone B and allahabadolactone, and the development of a diastereoselective Tsuji-Trost cyclisation by Wang, Kongchen

“…The first chapter describes the synthesis of curvulone B featuring a strategy of cross metathesis and oxa-Michael addition in the construction of the desired cis-THP ring. This strategy is one of the most effective tools in the synthesis of THP rings containing natural products. o-Chlorobenzyl ether was developed as a new protecting group for alcohols and proved to be a reliable protecting group under Lewis acidic condition. …”

Design of a mechatronic system using Arduino Uno by Chong, Kok Leong

“…Therefore, this Final Year Project (FYP) aims to create a Line-Following robot using Arduino Uno that can autonomously pick up boxes autonomously in a warehouse. By integrating a car chassis with an artificial intelligence (AI) camera, the robot will be able to follow the line path automatically, while the mechanized robot arm can pick up parcels of up to 0.1 KG all while being autonomous. …”

Fast depth-sensitive fluorescence measurements in turbid media using cone shell configuration by Ong, Yi Hong, Liu, Quan

“…Depth-sensitive fluorescence spectroscopy in a two-layered epithelial tissue phantom was demonstrated using a cone shell configuration implemented by an axicon lens and a fiber assembly including five rings of collection fibers. Each collection fiber ring was located at a different radial distance away from the center, for which fluorescence measurements from all rings showed a larger range of sensitivities to the top and bottom layers compared to the previously reported cone shell configuration. …”
