Fused filament fabrication of conductive polymer on textile for wearable by Raguraman Gunasellan

“…Additionally, the research explores the correlation between fabric surface roughness (characterized by Ra values of 80 µm or greater, Rq values of 95 µm or more, or Rz values of 600 µm or above) and adhesion strength. When specific print parameters, such as a temperature of 240°C and a 110% flow rate, are combined, there is a significant improvement in adhesion between conductive TPU and fabric. …”

Complex coacervates loaded with nano enzymes as microreactor by Ng, Si Yi

“…Complex coacervates are a unique type of polyelectrolyte complex in the field of colloid chemistry, derived from liquid-liquid phase separation that are rich in polymeric compounds. They are formed when two oppositely charged macromolecules such as polyelectrolytes, proteins or synthetic polymers come into contact and react, releasing counter ions to maintain neutrality electrostatically. …”

Towards a more trustworthy generative artificial intelligence by Cheong, Ben Wee Joon

“…However, with these advancements comes new challenges, especially in ensuring the robustness and reliability of such models when faced with adversarial attacks. Adversarial attacks are attacks that exploits the vulnerabilities of Generative AI models by subtly altering the input data, also known as perturbations, to deceive the models into making hallucinated, distorted, or incorrect predictions. …”

The effects of music-induced emotions on English-Chinese bilinguals' resolution of standing ambiguity. by Ho, Sher Min.

“…The biased sentences are manipulated in a way that adjectives are added to both NP1 and NP2 where the context of attaching the relative clause to NP1 would give rise to a sadder context than when attached to NP2. Since music is proven to have an effect on its listeners’ emotions, whether directly or indirectly (Trainor, 2003; Levinson, 1997), sad music is used to induce sad emotional cues for the context of reading the sentences. 27 English-Chinese bilinguals in Singapore participated in two experiments, 9 in Experiment 1 and the other 18 in Experiment 2. …”
