Condition monitoring of thermal comfort and energy efficiency for indoor environment of buildings by Chua, Andy Bing Zhong

“…Examples of such scenarios are industrial parks like Tuas and Jurong Island. In such scenarios, the solid desiccant system can achieve a total cost that is 59.4% lower than the vapour compression system over a 10-year period. …”

Wavelength tuning of the soft-approached whispering gallery mode microlasers for display and sensing by Yang, Shancheng

“…Although the mature but sophisticated top-down and bottom-up approaches for semiconductor processing can provide WGM microcavities and microlasers with high quality and ultra-compact integration, the intrinsic rigid nature of the materials hinders the development of flexible applications like displayand sensing, which require the tuning of the wavelengths within the cavity. …”

Sport fans’ behaviour : the relationship between nostalgia, team loyalty, attitude toward sponsors, and behavioural intentions by Tan, Doreen Xiaofang

“…Previous studies have found that nostalgia can lead to team loyalty, positive attitude toward sponsors, and behavioural intentions like travelling to attend sport events or purchasing a sponsor’s products. …”

Small-signal neural models and their applications by Basu, Arindam

“…Second, we use small-signal models for deriving parameters for a simple neural model (such as resonate and fire) from a more complicated but biophysically relevant one like Morris-Lecar. We show similarity in the subthreshold behavior of the simple and complicated model when they are close to a Hopf bifurcation and a saddle-node bifurcation. …”

Dengue Virus Non-Structural Protein 5 by El Sahili, Abbas, Lescar, Julien

“…Dengue virus also serves as a prototype for the study of other pathogenic flaviviruses that are emerging, like West Nile virus and Zika virus. Upon viral entry into the host cell and fusion of the viral lipid membrane with the endosomal membrane, the viral RNA is released and expressed as a polyprotein, that is then matured into three structural and seven non-structural (NS) proteins. …”
