Development of fiber optic strain sensor system for smart structure applications by Ong, Lin Seng, Seah, Leong Keey, Chai, Gin Boay

“…However, as a result of external perturbation or disturbances, the light that passes through the optical fiber changes one or more of its characteristics or properties such as intensity, phase, state of polarization, wavelength or reflective index. As long as we are able to detect these changes and relate them to the changes of external perturbations we can transform the optical fiber into a sensor to detect those perturbations. …”

Development of serum alternative with fermented soybean residue (okara): towards cultured meat production application by Teng, Ting Shien

“…The observed differences in the results suggested that cells may be stimulated by specific metabolites from the extract, and such interactions may vary from cell line to cell line. An in-depth study on the cellular metabolite interaction would be required to optimise the proliferative effects that the fermented okara extracts have on the cells. …”
