A visual vocabulary for flower classification by Nilsback, M-E, Zisserman, A

“…We demonstrate that by developing a visual vocabulary that explicitly represents the various aspects (colour, shape, and texture) that distinguish one flower from another, we can overcome the ambiguities that exist between flower categories. The novelty lies in the vocabulary used for each aspect, and how these vocabularies are combined into a final classifier. …”

Incentives for teachers: a theoretical framework and a structural model by Jain, R

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. …”

Towards in-situ texture analysis during LPBF: optical microscopy and texture control by Wang, Xiaogang

“…First, I devise different optical techniques to acquire microstructural information from metals in a similar manner to common X-ray or electron-based diffraction techniques (described in Chapters 2). I opted for optical based technologies owing to their high measurement throughput, low price, and adaptability to different environments, which make them suitable for in situ monitoring of L-PBF processes. …”

Aromatic nature of neutral and dianionic 1,4-diaza-2,3,5,6-tetraborinine derivatives by Ota, Kei, Kinjo, Rei

“…The majority of the criteria (ASE, NICSzz, ELF, and PDI) indicate that the aromaticity of the neutral B4N2 benzene analogue stabilized by Lewis bases lies in between those of benzene and borazine. On the other hand, the aromaticity of the dianionic B4N2 benzene analogue 4 ' is controversial. …”

A conceptual design for COMBI dengue prevention based on an integrated psychology and persuasive technology models by Ghazali, Masitah, Rosli, Afzan, Ibrahim, Noraini, Hisham, Habel

“…Dengue prevention is the best way to prevent dengue outbreaks, as the tagline goes, “prevention is better than cure”. But the challenges lie in sustaining the preventive activity among the community, which commonly only takes place periodically, i.e. when they are dengue outbreaks, with the presence of health officers under the Communication for Behavioural Impact (COMBI) campaign. …”

Dying to be seen : suicide and the Chinese in colonial Singapore, 1860s - 1930s by Gan, Zhen Yin

“…By using newspaper archives to analyse how the suicides were reported in the colonial press, this thesis will argue that between the 1860s to 1930s, the strategies employed to manage suicides by colonial authority were effective for European colonial subjects but not for Chinese colonial subjects. The cause for this lies in the different ‘truths’ in relation to suicide that these colonial subjects were informed by. …”
