Pulsed laser scan methodology for single event effect (SEE) qualification by Chua, Chung Tah

“…This thesis initiates with an introduction of the space radiation environment and its associated radiation damage on semiconductor materials, with particular focus on a type of spontaneous radiation damage called SEE. Through the discussion on the overview of Singapore’s small satellite landscape and limited land area, this thesis first aims to establish an efficient radiation test methodology, based on the proposed pulsed laser scanning technique, in a laboratory setting. …”

Investigation of charge transport in nanofiber based solar cells by Sabba Dharani

“…Initially a triphenylamine D35 chromophore with bulky butoxyl groups was employed to sensitize the nanofibers followed by sensitizing them again with a smaller indoline dye called D131. This semi-tandem like co-sensitization process concomitantly improved the light harvesting efficiency and passivated the nanofiber surface by virtue of the condensed packing of both the dye molecules which suppressed the charge recombination with the tri-iodide species of the electrolyte. …”

Tracking and detecting objects in image sequence by Wang, Li

“…First, foreground regions are obtained by using background subtraction on depth data. Then, a so-called “split-merge” approach is proposed to over-segment a foreground region into subregions and then cluster them into a number of object regions by using the proposed boundary based similarity metric. …”

Exploiting LoRaWAN for efficient and resilient IoT networks by Gu, Chaojie

“…To advance the network architecture design, this thesis leverages on the LoRaWAN to form one-hop out-of-band control planes called LoRaCP. Several characteristics of LoRaWAN such as downlink-uplink asymmetry and primitive ALOHA media access control need to be dealt with to achieve high efficiency and good resilience. …”

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

“…Generally, Gram-negative bacterial pathogens have additional outer membranes mainly composed of highly conserved and unique lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules, which serve as permeability barriers to prevent the cell bodies from toxic antimicrobial molecules1-2 including many photosensitizers, which have been successfully used in photoinactivation of Gram-positive strains.3-4 Furthermore, LPS, a potent inducer to human innate immune systems, hence called endotoxin, is now primarily responsible for sepsis associated with the infections of Gram-negative pethogens.5-6 Therefore, the most promising strategy is use of LPS neutralizing peptide as the binding ligand to deliver antibacterial agents meanwhile minimize the side effects.7 The first objective of the research in part I is the design and synthesis of photosensitizer-peptide conjugates for multivalent targeted cellular imaging and photodynamic inactivation (PDI) against Gram-negative bacterial strains. …”

Surface engineering to manipulate solar energy for thermal management by Fei, Jipeng

“…Accordingly, an optically modified, high water content hydrogel matrix was designed as a passive radiative cooler at daytime, which is called metagel. The metagel radiative cooler utilizes both radiative and evaporative cooling processes within an individual composite, while also exhibiting strong visible-NIR (near infrared) Mie scattering minimizes the incident solar energy, keeping surface temperature low. …”
