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. …”

Multi-description multipath video streaming in wireless ad hoc networks by Xu, Yuanyuan., Zhu, Ce.

“…A heuristic solution of low complexity is developed for the interference-aware multipath routing, by introducing a path metric taking into account intra-flow interference, inter-flow interference, link bandwidth and link “up” probability. The second problem touches on unbalanced-path based joint MD video coding and packet allocation for multiple paths of varying bandwidth and loss probabilities. …”

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cancer cells using bioengineered hybrid scaffold composed of hydrogel/3D-fibrous framework by Pal, Mintu, Chen, Huizhi, Lee, Bae Hoon, Lee, Justin Yin Hao, Yip, Yun Sheng, Tan, Nguan Soon, Tan, Lay Poh

“…In this study, we focused on two major points (i) designing and fabrication of 3D hybrid scaffolds comprising electrospun fibers with cancer cells embedded within hydrogels, and (ii) determining the potential roles of 3D hybrid scaffolds associated with EMT in cancer progression and metastasis. Our findings revealed that 3D hybrid scaffold enhances cell proliferation and induces cancer cells to undergo EMT, as demonstrated by significant up-regulation of EMT associated transcriptional factors including Snail1, Zeb1, and Twist2; and mesenchymal markers whereas epithelial marker, E-Cadherin was downregulated. …”

Impact of China's financial development on the sustainable development goals of the Belt and Road Initiative participating countries by Li, Chenggang, Zhao, Gang, Koh, Keumseok Peter, Xu, Zhenci, Yue, Mu, Wang, Weiyan, Tan, Yuanyuan, Wu, Liang

“…To address this gap, we utilized panel regression models to quantitatively assess the impact of China’s financial development scale, structure, and efficiency on the SDGs of the BRI participating countries, and adopted Geographically and Temporally Weighted Regression (GTWR) model to explore the spatial-temporal effects of China’s financial development scale, structure, and efficiency on the SDGs of the BRI participating countries. Our findings indicate that China’s financial development has significantly promoted the SDGs of the BRI participating countries. …”
