Cross-layer host-network co-design for QoS in streamed video data networking by Nan, Ya

“…The proposed design faces the challenge of constraints of both computation resources at the edge servers and network bandwidth of the edge-cloud links. An accuracy gradient-based resource allocation algorithm is proposed to allocate the limited computation and network resources across different video streams to achieve the maximum overall performance. …”

Investigating S-acylation in the metabolic dysfunction of the T2D heart by Dennis, KMJH

“…The lipid post translational modification <em>S</em>-acylation has been linked to regulating CD36 trafficking. However, it remains unknown whether CD36 is <em>S</em>-acylated in the heart and whether CD36 <em>S</em>-acylation levels are altered in T2D.…”

Development of high-affinity peptide-drug conjugates for investigating the TRIM24 PHD and bromodomain by Platt, MA

“…</p> <br> <p>Given the close proximity of the PHD and BRD, and lack of TRIM24 PHD ligands, it was decided that a TRIM24 BRD ligand would be linked to a H3-mimicking peptide containing a KMe₃ isostere, to generate bivalent peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) (Figure 0.1a). …”

Production and characterization of collagen and gelatin from edible jellyfish (Acromitus hardenbergi Stiasny, 1934) for fabrication of biofunctional scaffold by Khong, Nicholas Mun Hoe

“…The combinations of different jellyfish collagen and gelatin concentrations were observed to have significant effects on the cross-section morphology and the molecular integrity of the cross-linked scaffolds. Proportional combination of jellyfish collagen into the ternary scaffolds was found to significantly (p < 0.05) increase mean pore size and porosity. …”

Perovskite superstructures and heterostructures for enhanced optical performance by Chan, Wen Kiat

“…Since PbBr2 occupies Br vacancies naturally occurring on CsPbBr3 NCs, we proposed a possible SS formation mechanism where PbBr2 serves as a ‘glue’ linking together individual NCs to form SSs at higher PbBr2 concentrations. …”

Bit allocation techniques for video coding and broadcasting applications by Yao, Wei

“…However, due to the increased video data compared to conventional single-view video, efficient coding format and joint bit rate allocation among multiple stereo videos on bandwidth limited transmission links are still challenging problems. A scalable coding scheme for stereo video is first designed such that regulating output bit rate of each video to match the allocated bandwidth can be achieved by simple bitstream extraction. …”

Electrochemical DNA biosensor based on nanoporous alumina membrane by Deng, Jiajia

“…Probe DNA sequences were covalently attached within the pores of the nanoporous alumina membrane using glutaraldehyde cross linking. Binding of target DNA to the probe inside nanopores caused impedance changes due to blocking of nanopores, which provided the sensing signals. …”

From node embedding to community embedding on graphs by Cavallari, Sandro

“…On such platforms, the users’ information is explicitly provided and most of the information is implicitly contained in the links between different users. In robotics, it is possible to achieve more a “human-like” movement of an artificial skeleton if we represent the interaction of each major joint rather than adopting an independent approach. …”

Dna markers and mapping of quantitative trait loci for yield and bunch quality in Deli dura X Yangambi pisifera oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) population by Seng, Tzer Ying

“…For practical applications from this work, it will be necessary to test these yield component QTLs in a broader array of genetic backgrounds and in different environments. Also, more closely linked markers or flanking markers to the QTLs should be sought because recombinations between the markers and QTLs can occur when transferring the results from one population to another. …”

Innovation and firm survival: the role of timing, funding, and networks by Gao, Ming

“…There is a large body of literature that provides empirical evidence for the debate regarding the positive and negative links between firms’ innovation and survival. While many studies have discussed how innovation influences firms’ survival, little has been done to explore how this relationship is shaped by other factors. …”
