Efficacy of cannabinoids for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting—a systematic review and meta-analysis by Chow, R, Basu, A, Kaur, J, Hui, D, Im, J, Prsic, E, Boldt, G, Lock, M, Eng, L, Ng, TL, Zimmermann, C, Scotte, F

“…However, there was no difference between cannabinoid and active treatment alternatives (most using dated single-agent regimens) for any outcomes. A recent phase II/III trial demonstrated superior efficacy of THC:CBD for secondary prevention of CINV when used as adjunctive therapy alongside modern antiemetic regimens, albeit mostly without olanzapine. …”

Interactive learning on simple infra-red transceiver by Chee, Danielle Yan Kei

“…This project is made of two main parts, which would be a hardware segment and a software segment. The hardware segment involves an infra-red remote that transmits a modulated message signal and a receiver system that senses infra-red light and demodulates the incoming signal. …”

Estimating evolutionary and demographic parameters via ARG-derived IBD by Huang, Z, Kelleher, J, Chan, Y, Balding, D

“…Inference of evolutionary and demographic parameters from a sample of genome sequences often proceeds by first inferring identical-by-descent (IBD) genome segments. By exploiting efficient data encoding based on the ancestral recombination graph (ARG), we obtain three major advantages over current approaches: (i) no need to impose a length threshold on IBD segments, (ii) IBD can be defined without the hard-to-verify requirement of no recombination, and (iii) computation time can be reduced with little loss of statistical efficiency using only the IBD segments from a set of sequence pairs that scales linearly with sample size. …”

An experimental investigation on finite wings with leading-edge protuberances by Teo, Marcus Jun Jie

“…Fluid flow characteristics of wings with leading edge tubercles were experimentally investigated in a water tunnel at a Reynolds number of 13292, falling under the transitional Reynolds regime. This experiment is meant to be continuation of a pre-existing experimental study examining fluid flow characteristics of wings but with differing dimensions. …”
