Learning a closed-loop policy for scooping task by Lau, Wei Quan

“…Developing a closed-loop policy for scooping task which involves dealing with deformable objects like food is not trivial as there is a lack of physics models, which makes classical planning approaches difficult. …”

Parameter identification of electrical and thermal model of a lithium polymer battery using particle swarm optimization by Tade Hrutuja Sanju

“…LiP batteries differ from other Li-ion technologies primarily due to their use of a solid or gel-like polymer electrolyte instead of the liquid electrolyte found in typical Li-ion batteries. …”

Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…The main challenge to the classical NMR theory arises when one of the binding partners is so large that in the chemical shift time scale of solution NMR (milliseconds) it can be considered as practically static or solid-state-like. Therefore, our theoretical model shall predict whether the chemical shifts perturbations observed through the small binding partner can be used to delineate the involved binding interface, and whether changes of the positions of NMR resonances or only attenuation of the cross-peak intensities are to be expected upon binding to a solid partner.…”

Flexible whispering gallery mode optical microcavities for lasers and sensors by Ta, Van Duong

“…Especially interesting, the hemisphere and fiber lasers can be used for refractive index sensing for gases and liquids. Complex structures like coupled fiber lasers are also studied for robust single mode operation and improving the sensor’s sensitivity. …”

Effect of different lead precursors on planar perovskite solar cells by Martin

“…Annealing at relatively low temperature (90oC) for 10 minutes produce the densest and pinhole-free perovskite film in morphology and performance compared to high temperature, like 100 oC. 6. Solar cell performance is strongly dependent on the perovskite film quality: large amount of holes inside the films acting as a charge recombination center reduces the open circuit voltage; too thin a film develops less current density; and the interface contact between PEDOT:PSS/perovskite/PCBM affect the fill factor of the whole device. …”

Identification and characterisation of novel human dendritic cell progenitors by See, Peter Chi Ee

“…Hence, this might explain why pDC when stimulated with IL-3 and CD40 ligand, were found to differentiate into cells with cDC-like morphology. We also demonstrated that pre-cDC but not pDC were able to differentiate into cDC subsets in MS5 stromal culture supplemented with the cytokines Flt3L, SCF and GM-CSF. …”

聊斋志异的魅力 ：原著小说与《聊斋电视系列片》的比较 = Charm of strange tales from a Chinese studio : a comparison between original novel and 1986 TV series by Pau, Florence Wei Lin, 包玮琳 Pau, Florence Wei Lin

“…The story portrays and criticizes the imperial examinations in ancient China, with an underlying theme of the power and nobility of love, illustrated using romances between humans and supernatural beings like ghosts and demons. Furthermore, the novel inherited the fine traditions of ancient prose: an unexpected yet logical plot and typical characterization. …”

Lubrication mechanisms in offshore wind turbines by Gadgil, Abhiruchi

“…However, the effect of offshore parameters like salinity and water haven't been studied. The salinity and moisture interaction with the components, the tribological interactions with the bearing material and the lubricant components, and the possible onset of failures has not been studied extensively. …”

纪实同志文学 ：多元性别再现与抗争 = A study on Singapore’s LGBT non-fiction literature : representation and challenges of the sexually diversified by 梁峻洋 Neo, Jun Yang

“…The topic of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) remains a sensitive issue in a relatively conservative country like Singapore. While the local current society is much more open and receptive than the early 1990s, the homosexual community is still unable to gain the acceptance from many citizens and the government. …”

Cadê o Kauê? Co-design and acceptability testing of a chat-story aimed at enhancing youth participation in the promotion of mental health in Brazil by Pavarini, G, Murta, SG, Mendes, JAA, Siston, FR, Souza, RRA, Cunha, RO, Ferreira, JA, Santos, VHL, Seabra, BTR, Talk2U, Singh, I

“…Co-designed creative tools like chat-stories hold promise as digital mental health tools, fostering awareness, critical reflection, and inspiring adolescents to drive positive social change.…”

Parallel transmission technologies for imaging the brain and body with 7 tesla MRI by Kent, JL

“…Motion detection can be achieved through various methods, but radiofrequency sensor-based techniques like parallel transmit scattering or pilot tone are of particular interest, primarily due to their low hardware requirements. …”

Probabilistic verification beyond context-freeness by Li, G

“…Recent advancements, including extensions to higher-order grammars like Probabilistic Higher-Order Recursion Schemes (PHORS), offer enhanced expressiveness but introduce significant challenges, such as the undecidability of Almost Sure Termination (AST). …”

Electronic structure of topological quantum materials probed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy by Schröter, N

Lithological controls of the Mg isotope composition of the Lena River across seasons and its impact on the annual isotope flux to the Arctic Ocean by Mavromatis, V, Porcelli, D, Andersson, PS, Korets, MA, Pokrovsky, OS

“…This number coincides with the value of summer baseflow reported in earlier works. Therefore, like in the recently studied Yenisey River basin, the Mg isotope signature of the Lena River water likely stems from a mixture of carbonate (−2.0 ≥ δ²⁶Mg ≥ −2.5 ‰) and silicate (0 ≥ δ²⁶Mg ≥ −0.2 ‰) rocks in its watershed. …”

Towards formal verification of Bayesian inference in probabilistic programming via guaranteed bounds by Zaiser, F

“…Crucially, these bounds are fully automated and require no user-provided auxiliary information like loop invariants. Thus they can serve as a ground truth to verify and debug approximate inference. …”
