NMR structure and activity relationship of defensin-analogous peptides by Bai, Yang

“…Despite inducing rapid aggregation of outer membrane lipopolysaccharides, AMPs remain highly mobile in the aggregated lattice. These findings suggest that AMPs possessing both enhanced mobility in the bacterial outer membrane and spatial structure facilitating its interactions with the membrane-water interface may provide excellent structural motifs for developing broad-spectrum new antimicrobials. …”

From public health to AI safety: improving machine learning approaches by collecting, selecting, or reducing the need for high-quality data by Brauner, J

“…We then collate a large, diverse test dataset and extensively study the generalisation of our lie detector to previously unseen settings. We find that it generalises surprisingly well.</p> <br> <p>In the second part of the thesis, we deal with a situation where we have abundant training data available, but some of it is of low quality. …”

Understanding the justifications for food policies through political theory: a method for public policy analysis by Thomas, O

“…The work in this thesis demonstrates that political theories can be more systematically integrated in the analysis of public policies to help inform and find solutions to specific problems. In addition, it highlights that while theory is relevant to practice, looking at practice also has much to offer to political theories, particularly where these are too far removed from real-world contexts or fail to address key ethical issues. …”

Prospective associations between an empirically derived dietary pattern and life satisfaction in Malaysian adolescents by Magendiran, Mugambikai, Appannah, Geeta, Emi, Nor Aishah, Chin, Yit Siew, Mohd Shariff, Zalilah, Anuar Zaini, Azriyanti, Shamsuddin, Nurainul Hana, Suppiah, Subapriya, Saini, Suraini Mohamad, Thambiah, Subashini C., Ching, Siew Mooi

“…Similar RRR analysis was used to find a DP that best explained the variation in response variables linked to poorer life satisfaction, including dietary energy density (DED), fiber density, and percentage of energy from total fat and sugar at the PUTRA-Adol follow-up study. …”

Towards haptic intelligence in robots by learning from demonstration by Turlapati Sri Harsha

“…In the first part of this thesis, we build on this latter idea of performing haptic exploration of surfaces with a focus on extracting the geometry of fine features. We propose a novel quantity, haptic mismatch that identifies and refines missing geometric features based on the discrepancy in force feedback from actual interactions with an object. …”
