Study of inertial hydrodynamic focusing in sheath-driven flows for lab-on-a-chip flow cytometry by Panwar, Nishtha, Song, Peiyi, Yong, Ken-Tye, Tjin, Swee Chuan

“…Miniature flow cytometer models enable fast and cost-effective management of diseases in vulnerable and low-end settings. The single-line focusing of cell or particle samples is achieved using hydrodynamic forces in the microfluidic channels. …”

Development and design optimisation of digital intensity measurement system for shot peening by Tarani, Dinesh Kumar

“…However, additional exploration is required to translate the findings of this study into a device suitable for integration into the production line as a substitute for or alternative to Almen strip measurement.…”

The Relationship between Linguistic Representations in Biological and Artificial Neural Networks by Kauf, Carina

“…Then I use fMRI to probe the computations that drive the language network’s response. I find evidence for a generalized reliance of language comprehension on syntactic processing, contra claims that language comprehension relies on shallow/associative processing, and for only a superficial encoding of sentence meaning. …”

Investigating the inner controls on explosive eruptions using textural analyses and petrology by Bernard, Olivier

“…First, I focus on the Rabaul caldera system (Papua-New-Guinea) where effusive, strombolian, vulcanian and sub-plinian eruptions occured in the past 120 years without any noticeable chemical changes in the magma compositions. I find that slight changes in the pre-eruptive state of the magma such as phenocryst-content and exsolved volatile contents influenced magma ascent rates and subsequent eruption styles. …”

Three essays on corporate finance by Sun, Rui

“…The above pattern remains robust if we apply various matching schemes or if we only look at the transitory cash flow shock. To find out what is the driving force of private firms’ cash flow allocation, we attempt to draw parallel evidence from public firms, but find that the analysis within public firms cannot be applied mechanically to private firms. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…To explore the effect of subglacial hydrology on the grounding line (GL) and tidal flexure, in Chapter 4, I develop a model combining a viscoelastic ice stream and subglacial hydrology. …”

Study: Transparency is Often Lacking in Datasets Used to Train Large Language Models by Zewe, Adam

“…Researchers developed an easy-to-use tool that enables an AI practitioner to find data that suits the purpose of their model, which could improve accuracy and reduce bias.…”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Real-Time Event-Triggered Object Tracking in the Presence of Model Drift and Occlusion by Guan, Mingyang, Wen, Changyun, Shan, Mao, Ng, Cheng-Leong, Zou, Ying

“…The occlusion and drift identification module is intended to perform on-line evaluation of the short-term tracking. When a model drift event occurs, the target re-detection module is activated by the event-triggered decision model to relocate the target and reinitialize the short-term tracker. …”

Moments of the Riemannn zeta function and log-correlated random variables by Curran, MJ

“…We then move on to study the problem of moments of moments of zeta and the closely related problem of estimating shifted moments of zeta on the half line. Moments of moments of zeta were introduced by Fyodorov and Keating [42] in order to understand the value distribution of zeta in short intervals on the critical line. …”

Inequality and the 1% by Dorling, D

“…Leading geographer Danny Dorling goes in pursuit of the latest research into how the lives and ideas of the 1% impact on the remaining 99%; and the findings are shocking. Inequality in the UK is increasing; more and more people are driven towards the poverty line. …”

COVID-19 policy analysis: labour structure dictates lockdown mobility behaviour by Heroy, Samuel, Loaiza, Isabella, Pentland, Alex, O’Clery, Neave
