Study on process parameter optimization for electron beam melting additive manufacturing by Wang, Chengcheng

“…Moreover, the significance and potential industrial applications of the ML-centered tetrahedral framework are depicted in the general discussion chapter of the thesis. Last but not least, the established ML-empowered methodology for process parameter optimization based on SEBM processing in this study can also be applied to other metal AM processes, such as laser-based powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition and binder jetting.…”

Therapeutic effects of Cosmos caudatus kunth leaf extract in the prevention and treament of obesity in sprague dawley rats by Abdul Rahman, Hafeedza

“…Finally, partial least square analysis (PLS-DA) showed that the obese group moved away from the position of lean group and after 9 weeks of treatment both treated groups were regulated back closer towards their healthy baseline levels,confirming the therapeutic effects of the extracts obtained from biochemical assays measured in the previous chapter. This study showed the antiobesity effects of C. caudatus through inhibition of lipase activity as demonstrated by the increase in fecal fat content and also the positive effects on other obesity biomarkers measured. …”

Self-healing materials for flexible electronic devices by Tiwari, Naveen

“…The different ionic liquids (EMITFB and EMITFSI) was used as compared to EMITFS since these ionic liquids have the same cation but different anions. This chapter depicts the study of the influence of ionic liquids on the different class of polymer structure and its effects on the healing properties. …”

Part I : Peptide functionalized materials for gram-negative bacteria targeted PDT and LPS sensing. Part II : Small peptide and membrane lipid based self-assembled nanostructures fo... by Liu, Fang

“…In part II, my first project is the development of novel drug-loaded nanogels for pH sensitive drug release, which will be described in chapter 3. In our research, the most commonly used model drug doxorubicin (Dox) was conjugated to an Fmoc group protected short peptide through an acid-labile hydrazone-bond to form a peptide-Dox prodrug. …”
