Productivity improvement for smart manufacturing systems by Sundararaman Manoj

“…On considering the improvements in manufacturing a product, this project aims to focus on developing a fundamental study that compares the infinite buffer and finite buffer settings for a production line and an assembly line. In an assembly line, queue ratio concept is introduced, that states, the parts from the upstream station is sent to two or more downstream stations for processing based on smallest queue ratio between two downstream stations. …”

Compatability and equilibrium approach to slender concrete column design (dual project) by Toh, Yi Hui

“…This report evaluates and compares the proposed design method with the Australian code AS3600-2001 for slender concrete column. The failure loads of pin-end columns under short term loading and uniaxial bending are used as a pre-determined factor to analyse the data. …”

Combined 2D and 3D features for robust RGB-D visual odometry by Cai, Pei

“…Some works attempt to address this issue by incorporating line features. However, these methods still extract line features merely based on 2D RGB images, resulting in a restricted utilization of the environment’s 3D structural information and therefore providing only limited performance improvement. …”

Optical gradient force for all-optical control in photonic circuits by Xu, Kaijun.

“…We also simulate the performance of the designed slot-waveguide as a tunable optical delay line and find that the slot-waveguide can produce a refractive index change comparable to that of an optical fiber based delay line. …”

AN AI-based hybrid model for early Alzheimer’s detection using MRI images by Al-Shoukry, Suhad, Zalili, Musa

“…The more conventional assessment techniques that involve neuroimaging and cognitive ability standardized tests are usually unable to pick up early stage alterations. To address these limitations, we have developed a new Hybrid AI Model, which combines both the conventional machine learning techniques, namely SVM, Naive Bayes, Cat boost, and XGBoost and Stacked DL model. …”

Share class structure and the efficiency of corporate takeover : experimental evidence by Lee, Pei Xuan, Siow, Zu Er, S, Roshini

“…Our experimental results demonstrated that it was less likely for an inefficient Raider to successfully takeover in an one-share-one-vote share structure. This result is in line with the theoretical predicted outcomes. On the other hand, in the case of an efficient Raider, our results were not in line with the theoretical model for the case of an efficient Raider. …”
