Investigation and implementation of image processing algorithms for medical application by Mya Thandar Maung.

“…In practice, it identifies the brain activity by picking up minute changes in blood flow in response to stimuli that the subject or patient experiencing associated with alternative non-stimulated instance or pause while the scanning is in progress. Changes in the measured signal between individual images are to make inferences regarding task-related activations in the brain. …”

New binders for Li-ion batteries by Peck, Steve Teck Wei

“…It was found that pectin binder was superior to conventional PVDF binder in both cycling performance and rate capability, consistent with observations of micrographs obtained from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging. Varying the silicon loading in the electrode produced results that were consistent with the theory described in the literature review, with initial capacity increasing and capacity retention decreasing with increased silicon loading. …”

A structure-function study of the TWIK-1 K2P channel by Abd-Wahab, MF

“…This 'C-helix' lies parallel to the intracellular membrane surface. Using scanning mutagenesis and electrophysiological measurements, a trio of positively-charged residues (K274/R277/K278) that faces the inner pore were identified as playing an important role in the functional expression of TWIK-1 currents by influencing the electrostatic charges at the intracellular pore mouth of TWIK-1. …”

A simple approach to improve recording of concerns about child maltreatment in primary care records: developing a quality improvement intervention by Woodman, J, Allister, J, Rafi, I, de Lusignan, S, Belsey, J, Petersen, I, Gilbert, R

“…Of 25 patients with known maltreatment, six had no maltreatment-related codes recorded, but all had relevant free text, scanned documents, or codes. When stating their reasons for undercoding maltreatment concerns, GPs cited damage to the patient relationship, uncertainty about which codes to use, and having concerns about recording information on other family members in the child’s records. …”

The effect of varying the duration of the butane/air pretreatment on the morphology and reactivity of (VO)2P2O7 catalysts by Waugh, K.C, Taufiq-Yap, Y.-H

“…It also led to the complete removal of the VOPO4 phase from catalysts VPO100 and VPO132, this VOPO4 phase having been seen as a minor component of catalyst VPO40. Scanning electron microscopy showed that longer periods of pretreatment in the n-butane/air mixture produced catalysts with increasing amounts of a characteristic rosette-type of agglomerate. …”
