Market outlook of VLCCs in the next 5 years by Cheah, Peifang.

“…The report shall focus on analyzing the demand and supply factors and subsequently draw a conclusion based on their effect on the freight rates. This can be achieved by segmenting the market into 5 bands based on historical Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) namely very weak, weak, steady, strong and very strong condition and a forecast of the strength of the freight market will be derived (ie the band the market will fall in). …”

Effect of inflammation on apolipoprotein A-1(apoA-1) secretion by intestinal cells. by Yu, Kenneth.

“…This study has shown that ApoA-l secretion in intestinal cells is constitutive; however, the rate of apoA-l secretion is increased by as high as 5-times the constitutive secretion rate when the cells are exposed to anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and paracetamol. …”

Visible light communication systems supporting wireless data access and indoor positioning applications by Yang, Helin

“…Besides illumination, LEDs are also used for visible light communications (VLC) and visible light positioning (VLP). On the one hand, VLC has been emerging as a promising candidate for indoor wireless communications due to its supporting high-speed data rate, economic, electro-magnetic interference free and high security, compared with traditional radio-frequency (RF) systems. …”

Optically reversible electrical soft-breakdown in wide-bandgap oxides — a factorial study by Zhou, Yu, Ang, Diing Shenp, Kalaga, Pranav Sairam

“…Light in the range of ∼400–700 nm is found to have relatively little influence on the reversal rate. On the other hand, light intensity, oxygen content and temperature, each of them has a clear impact; a stronger light intensity, an oxide that is richer in oxygen content and a reduced temperature all speed up the reversal process substantially. …”

Prototyping wireless pulse oximeter by Ng, Kimberly Jin Jin

“…It implies that with wireless data transmission technology, there will be less administrative work for the healthcare providers; It reduces the risks involved for hardcopy data storage, reducing space usage and time involved in retrieving patient data and that the nurses could better utilize the time to perform other works in hand. Lastly, the graphic user interface (GUI) of this wireless pulse oximeter is designed in such a way that when blood oxygenation (SpO2), pulse rate (BPM) or perfusion index (PI) dropped below a pre-determined value, an alarm would be sound to alert the doctor and nurses. …”

Expanding-window BATS code for scalable video multicasting over erasure networks by Xu, Xiaoli, Zeng, Yong, Guan, Yong Liang, Yuan, Lei

“…With random linear network coding (RLNC) applied at the intermediate nodes the information received by the destinations is determined by the associated channel rank distributions based on which we obtain the optimal achievable code rate at the source node. We show that although a concatenation of priority encoded transmission (PET) with RLNC achieves the optimal code rate it incurs prohibitive high coding complexity. …”
