Highly complex microarray systems based on combinatorial synthesis techniques are in wide-spread use in biological, medical and pharmaceutical research Chee et al. (1996); Cretich et al. (2006); Debouck & Goodfellow (1999). Two prominent examples are micro arrays for the artificial synthesis of arbitrary DNA sequences out of nucleic acids Heller (2002) and peptide synthesis out of amino acids B...

These notes are part of a 3rd year undergraduate course called "Computer Peripherals", taught at Nanyang Technological University School of Computer Engineering in Singapore, and developed by Associate Professor Kwoh Chee Keong. The course covered various topics relevant to modern computers (at that time), such as displays, buses, printers, keyboards, storage devices etc... The course is no lon...

On 1 Jury 1997, Hong Kong changed its identity from a British Crown Colony to a Special Administrations Region of China. Even before he was sworn into office, the first Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa, had listed housing, education and elderly care as his priority policy areas. Three public figures were appointed to review these subject areas, to consult relevant parties and to come up with prop...

Acupuncture and acupressure are methods of traditional Chinese medicine that are used to balance a person?s life force, or qi (pronounced ?chee?). When a person?s qi is out of sync, it?s believed to cause illness or pain. While both acupuncture and acupressure are said to help increase flow through specific pathways in the body, there?s a pointed difference between these treatments. In acupunct...

Asymptotic formulas, as ε → 0, are derived for the solutions of the nonlinear differential equation εu+Q(u) = 0 with boundary conditions u(−1) = u(1) = 0 or u′(−1) = u(1) = 0. The nonlinear term Q(u) behaves like a cubic; it vanishes at s−, 0, s+ and nowhere else in [s−, s+], where s− < 0 < s+. Furthermore, Q (s±) < 0, Q (0) > 0 and the integral of Q on the interval [s−, s+] is zero. Solutions ...

Recently Bu and Wang [1] proposed a simple modulation method aiming to improve the security of chaos-based secure communications against return-map-based attacks. Soon this modulation method was independently cryptanalyzed by Chee et al. [2], Wu et al. [3], and Álvarez et al. [4] via different attacks. As an enhancement to the Bu-Wang method, an improving scheme was suggested by Wu et al. [3] b...
