Dynamical analysis of physiologic signals by Noraznita Ramli.

“…ApEn is a measurement designed to quantify the degree of regularity versus unpredictability in a given dataset. [5] DFA is a fractal-related method that provides for estimation of scaling exponents. [6, 7] The purpose of applying these methods is to see whether such techniques based on dynamical analysis add information to conventional statistics.…”

A generalized framework for fuzzy neural architecture by Tung, Whye Loon.

“…Currently, the main problems dogging existing neural fuzzy systems/networks are: (1) Susceptibility to noisy training data; (2) the Stability-Plasticity dilemma; (3) The need of prior knowledge for structural learning; (4) An inconsistent fuzzy rule-base and (5) Heuristically-defmed node operations that lead to a poor interpretation of the reasoning process. …”

Epigenetic analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma development : involvement of HBV-modulated DNA methylation by Niu, Dandan

“…A role of these proteins as target of HBV-mediated DNA methylation was supported by validation assays, including their re-activation in cells treated with 5-Aza-dC (a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor). DNA methylation analysis suggested that, the proteins were down-regulated by HBV via DNA hypermethylation.…”

Zinc oxide ultraviolet light-emitting devices : design and fabrication by Yuen, Clement

“…This is because the FCVA technique has major advantages: 1) The lattice-matching requirement between the substrate and the deposited film is not needed, 2) it is a low-temperature deposition process (<350 oC) due to the high kinetic energies of the deposited species, 3) it allows the fabrication of thin films on large substrates (as large as 6” in diameter), 4) it provides freedom of choices in the target materials for the fabrication of doped and undoped films, since the stoichiometry of the deposited films are independent of that of the targets, 5) it produces microparticle-free thin films, and 6) it is a cost-effective technique to fabricate thin films that is well established and accepted by the industry for mass production.…”

An anatomical study to control the movement of a beetle's hind leg through electrical stimulation of muscles by Yeong, Jun Hao

“…Thereafter, the controlling of the movement of hind leg is achieved through the stimulating of the muscles at an approximate voltage of 0.75V and 100Hz frequency. Upon successful inducing the movement of a segment of the hind leg, reattempting to stimulate the same area will be carried out at a different voltage to test the threshold and limit to induce the same movement. …”

Hydrothermal synthesis of vanadium dioxide nanoparticles codoped with magnesium/tungsten by Tang, Kai Wen

“…Codoping Mg/W can effectively reduce the Tc to 37.2°C and give a ΔTsol and Tlum of 3.9% and 53.1% respectively, at 5 at.% Mg codoped with W in VO2. This suggests that the method of codoping Mg/W in VO2 thin films can effectively modulate the thermochromic properties of the VO2 films.…”
