Detecting voice disguise from speech variability : analysis of three glottal and vocal tract measures by Amin, Talal B., German, James S., Marziliano, Pina

“…Using a database of natural and disguised voices of three professional voice artists, we build on earlier findings in [Amin et al., 2014] by exploring how certain glottal and vocal tract measures, such as glottal timing (Open Quotient) and vowel formants are manipulated by the artists to create novel voice identities. …”

Elucidation of functional significance of plasmodium falciparum reticulocyte binding like protein homologues - RH1, RH2A AND RH4 during merozoite invasion. by Karthigayan Gunalan.

“…One major family of ligands involved in these interactions is the Reticulocyte binding like protein Homologues (RHs). Using highly specific monoclonal antibodies against PfRH1, RH2a and RH4, we have focused on the processing and erythrocyte binding properties of RHs that are important for host cell recognition. …”

Establishing two transgenic mouse cell lines for future studies on X chromosome inactivation : a red Xi in live cells and a silenced GFP on the Xi. by Ong, Norbert Ha How.

“…FACS was used to isolate Xi–GFP and Xa–GFP cells from an existing transgenic female mouse strain that was engineered with an X-linked GFP gene. In conclusion, macroH2A–mCherry transgenic cell line and X–GFP cell lines were valuable tools that could be used to further investigate the process of XCI.…”

Structure and functions of a metallo-beta-lactamase- like hypothetical protein bleg1_2437 from alkali-tolerant soil bacterium Bacillus lehensis G1 by Tan, Soo Huei

“…Furthermore, with the addition of 100 μM of zinc sulfate, the kcat/Km values of Bleg1_2437 towards all tested β-lactam antibiotics were increased approximately 2 to 5 fold. The findings of this study reveal on the presence of the clinically important and dangerous antibiotics-degrading enzyme, MBL, within the pool of HPs which are generally regarded as proteins of unknown functions and of no particular importance.…”

Self-healing algorithm for real-time multicast tree by Giam, Pin Leong.

“…Real-time multicast routing had been studied in depth and a number of multicast tree building algorithms had been proposed that take into consideration network cost and performance guarantee services like end-to-end delay constraint. However, these algorithms are not resilient to link failures and would require intensive computation and expensive restructuring of the routing tree. …”
