A proposal for a technology-assisted approach to wildlife management in Singapore by Chen, Melvin, Tan, Alvin De Jun, Quek, Wei Liang, Chahed, Haroun

“…We hope that our approach will promote, through an improved and data-driven understanding of macaque behavioural trends, technology-assisted decision-making and a more harmonious co-existence between humans and macaques on campus and in Singapore. Last but not least, we anticipate further extensions of our approach with respect to other forms of wildlife.…”

Review of Experimental Work in Biomimetic Foils by Triantafyllou, Michael S., Techet, Alexandra H., Hover, Franz S.

“…This review focuses primarily on experimental studies on some of the, at least partially understood, mechanisms, which include 1) the formation of streets of vortices around and behind two- and three-dimensional propulsive oscillating foils; 2) the formation of vortical structures around and behind two- and three-dimensional foils used for maneuvering, hovering, or fast-starting; 3) the formation of leading-edge vortices in flapping foils, under steady flapping or transient conditions; 4) the interaction of foils with oncoming, externally generated vorticity; multiple foils, or foils operating near a body or wall.…”

Precise inversion of logged slownesses for elastic parameters in a gas shale formation by Miller, Douglas E., Horne, Steve A., Walsh, John

“…More importantly, these data clearly show that, at least for fast anisotropic formations such as this gas shale, sonic logs measure group slownesses for propagation with the group angle equal to the borehole inclination angle. …”

Study on process parameter optimization for electron beam melting additive manufacturing by Wang, Chengcheng

“…Moreover, the significance and potential industrial applications of the ML-centered tetrahedral framework are depicted in the general discussion chapter of the thesis. Last but not least, the established ML-empowered methodology for process parameter optimization based on SEBM processing in this study can also be applied to other metal AM processes, such as laser-based powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition and binder jetting.…”

Long-term stability challenges and opportunities in acidic oxygen evolution electrocatalysis by Wang, Qilun, Cheng, Yaqi, Tao, Hua Bing, Liu, Yuhang, Ma, Xuehu, Li, Dong-Sheng, Yang, Hong Bin, Liu, Bin

“…In this review, critical factors that may lead to catalyst's instability in couple with potential solutions are comprehensively discussed, including mechanical peeling, substrate corrosion, active-site over-oxidation/dissolution, reconstruction, oxide crystal structure collapse through the lattice oxygen-participated reaction pathway, etc. Last but not least, personal prospects are provided in terms of rigorous stability evaluation criteria, in situ/operando characterizations, economic feasibility and practical electrolyzer consideration, highlighting the ternary relationship of structure evolution, industrial-relevant activity and stability to serve as a roadmap towards the ultimate application of PEMWE.…”

Hierarchical approach to study water cluster in first-principles calculations by Nguyen, Quoc Chinh

“…In addition, the effects of zero-point energy correction on the relative stabilities, thermodynamic properties and vibrational spectra of each system were discussed throughout the studies. Last but not least, we reported the details on the development of the potential models for protonated hydrogen fluoride and deprotonated water clusters in order to extend the current work to other molecular systems and also to improve the efficiency of the hierarchical approach for our future studies.…”
