Brownian dynamics simulation of soft matter with hydrodynamics: methods for constrained systems and shear processing of 2D materials by Funkenbusch, William Tian

“…We use the conformational and rotational properties of the sheet simulations to explain this behavior, demonstrating a new explanation for the non-monotonic rheological properties of 2D materials which does not involve sheet-sheet interactions (which are rare in dilute suspensions) or thermal energy (which is often small in sheet systems). …”

Development of a human-robot cooperative control system by Sayyed Omar Kamal Bin Syed Zin Al-Jufry

“…During the final year of study in the course for the Bachelor’s in Electrical & Electronics Engineering in Nanyang Technological University, the student was assigned to the Final Year Project for Safe Human-Robot Interaction under the supervision of Associate Professor Cheah Chien Chern. The project’s objective was achieved through the use of a Microsoft Kinect depth sensor to monitor the position of a SCARA robot and determine safety actions to be taken by the robot. …”

Evaluating geospatial accuracy for equity analyses: a case study of the U.S. National Bridge Inventory by Gandy, CA, Kang, X, Ritsch, N, Armanios, DE

“…Phase 3 assesses the feasibility of enhancing location granularity through a hand-checked case study. We find that for coarser geospatial levels (state and county), equity-based analyses may be possible, but for more granular geospatial levels (place and census tract), which is where equity-based analyses are often conducted, the data may need greater buffering and hand checks to ensure accuracy. …”

Predicting bank failures : a comparison of the Cox proportional hazards model and time-varying covariates model. by Cheng, Philip Yim Kwong.

“…As a contribution to bank regulation by improving the accuracy of predicting failed banks, I first illustrate the use of martingale and other residuals as diagnostic checks for Cox’s proportional hazards model. Second, I discuss and substantiate the claim that a time-varying covariates model is superior to the Cox model as a bank failure model.…”
