Building a Scalable Electrification Infrastructure in Logistics by Alam, Muhammad Ashhad

“…A major driver of this environmental footprint remains a heavy reliance on trucking—the least fuel-efficient mode of transportation. A key pathway toward freight decarbonization, therefore, involves shifting from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric powertrains in truck fleets. …”

Near field wireless power transfer by Er, Gavin Kian Ming

“…In this project, the focus areas are to study and design a suitable near-field wireless power transfer system used potentially for biomedical devices with at least 50% power transmission efficiency. The software used for design parameters simulations in this project is Ansys’s High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS).…”

Properties of lightweight concrete by using light expanded clay aggregate by Wisnu Saputra.

“…In the design of the concrete mixture, water cement ratio (w/c) was the most significant ratio in providing high strength in comparison with other design ratios. It is also the least significant ratio in reducing the weight of the concrete.…”

Numerical modeling and simulation of shape memory allows using the mesh-free method by Ren, Ji

“…The emphasis here is on the moving least squares approximation (MLS), and detailed derivation of MLS approximation is described, whereby an efficient approach for obtaining the MLS shape functions and their derivatives is introduced. …”

Time before time after by Tang, Chia Xing

“…Time Before Time After, what takes place before and what takes place after, it does matter. At least to us, humans, constantly reflecting our measure of time through human’s existence. …”

Sintercom : experiment in online civil society by Kwok, Amanda Ching Yee

“…It concludes that Sintercom’s experiment did open-up civil society space, at least on the Internet, although at the same time, the government’s experiment with what it saw as a “Light Touch” style of regulations using Sintercom as a testing-ground (due to its prominence in the 1990s Internet) also seemed to have succeeded at that point.…”

Development of a system to detect hidden information in a document using steganography software by Wuan, Neng Jie

“…Steganography is the art of hiding secret information in plain sight. Manipulating the least significant bit (LSB) of the image’s pixel values is one of the most popular steganographic embedding method. …”

Ethical surveillance in vaccine passports by Cofone, I

“…Vaccine passports should work on a decentralized system and use the least invasive data possible. Further, vaccine passports should be based solely on government vaccine data, be implemented only in places where vaccines are widely available for free, track location only when they are scanned, and provide a non-digital option. …”

The sailor's tale by Hopkin, D

“…By investigating the function of stories and storytelling in the challenging conditions aboard ship—how they built reputations, established solidarities, intimated both resistance and accommodation—this paradox will be, if not resolved, at least clarified.…”

Achieving the multiparameter quantum Cramér-Rao bound with antiunitary symmetry by Wang, B, Zheng, K, Xie, Q, Zhang, A, Xu, L, Zhang, L

“…The results showcase the simultaneous achievement of ultimate precision for multiple parameters without any trade-off and the precision is improved at least twice compared to conventional encoding strategies. …”

Towards targeted exploration for non-stochastic disturbances by Venkatasubramanian, J, Koehler, J, Cannon, M, Allgoewer, F

“…This work utilizes classical data-dependent uncertainty bounds on the least-squares parameter estimates in the presence of energy-bounded noise. …”

No trespassing! Abandoning the novice/expert problem by Levy, N

“…I argue that attempts to deploy them in this sort of deep way involve a kind of transgression akin to, and at least as unreliable as, epistemic trespassing. We should give up trying to solve the novice/expert problem and instead promote better epistemic trust.…”

#Hooked? Extending the social cognitive model in examining the antecedents of problematic social network sites use among Singaporean adolescents and adults by Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…Cases of social network sites (SNSs) users potentially developing problematic SNSs use have revived scholarly interest in addictive media research in the last few years. As a nascent research area, there is a need for clear communication-centric theoretical paradigms and rigorous methods in guiding empirical inquiry in problematic SNSs use. …”

Investigating students’ perceptions of online learning by Hamizah, Zahari, Siti Ainun Jariyah, Hassan

“…Because of the global pandemic, many colleges and Universities have been forced to go online and no one knows how long the pandemic will last, and hence the teaching style has been switched to online mode (Gopal, Singh & Aggarwal, 2021). …”

On Stone's representation theorem by Loo, Dong Lin

“…This thesis presents characterisations of the following three items: isomorphism of RO(X), Boolean embedding of RO(X) and quotient spaces of S(RO(X)). Analogues of the last two characterisations in the space of continuous real-valued functions on S(RO(X)) are presented. …”
