Encapsulation of probiotics for food and beverage applications by Ang, Kai Lin

“…Up to date, no studies have been done to examine the viability of probiotics in popular, well-liked, commercialized carbonated sodas/beers, but it is known that certain components in these matrices (e.g. phosphoric acid in soda, hops and ethanol in beers) can reduce the viability of probiotics. …”

Acoustic data communication for industrial drilling applications by Goh, Cher Shin.

“…Project B5035-121, Acoustic Data Communication for Industrial Drilling Applications, looks at the possible ways of incorporating the multilevel modulation of Amplitude Shift Keying-Frequency Shift Keying (ASK-FSK) into the transceiver architecture of an acoustic telemetry system, such that the architecture embodies balance of good traits, such as high data transmission rates and good bit error rate (BER) performance. This is due to the greater need for communication systems of industrial drilling applications to have a higher throughput. …”

Iterative decoding of cyclic codes based on FFT sliding correlator by Mohammad Ridwan Septadi.

“…We successfully designed the soft-in-hard-out ML-decoding of cyclic code based on sliding correlator. BER performance results indicate that our decoder performs well as it meets the theoretical expectation by having performance curves which are slightly better than the theoretical upper bound by 0.3-0.4dB for various BCH codes. …”

Large eddy simulations of turbulent circular wall jets by Zhang, Shuai, Law, Adrian Wing-Keung, Zhao, Bing

“…Most of the previous studies focus on the kinematic characteristics of the jet flows, while the mixing characteristics including the scalar transport have not been well examined. The current study performs a comprehensive investigation of the turbulent circular wall jet including both the flow and mixing characteristics using the large eddy simulations (LES) approach with proper near-wall modelling. …”
