Consistent strut-and-tie modelling of deep and short beams and hollow-core slabs at ambient and elevated temperatures by Fan, Shengxin

“…The primary aim of this research is to examine the feasibility of applying strut-and-tie model (STM) to RC deep and short beams at ambient temperature and under fire conditions, deep beams under unequal and/or unsymmetrical loading arrangement, and PCHC slabs with non-uniform cross sections and no web reinforcement. …”

Motivating physical activity among older Singaporeans : the role of fitness tracking and social context by Lin, Sapphire Huili

“…Lastly, I hypothesize that sharing fitness tracker feedback with strong-tie dyadic partners gives rise to dyad-referent feedback, magnifying the main effects of the feedback and dyadic conditions on physical activity. …”

Seismic behaviour and damage characteristics of corroded reinforced concrete beam-column joint by Zhang, Xinchen

“…In addition, the behaviour of corroded RC interior and exterior beam-column joint specimens were analytically studied based on the developed Strut-and-Tie (STM) model. Deteriorated bond mechanism and material properties due to the corrosion of reinforcements were incorporated in the STM model. …”

Deciphering the Plasmodium epitranscriptome as a mechanism of translational control by Sinha, Ameya

“…In order to address this hypothesis in Plasmodium we have carried out a proteomics experiment to determine if the parasite proteins that are upregulated show a marked codon bias which can be tied up with the tRNA modification data. All of these findings together provide new insights into the role of translational control mechanisms involving RNA modifications in the development and pathogenesis of malaria parasites.…”

Stability analysis and enhancement for future power electronics-dominated power systems by Yu, Jiale

“…As such, a novel large-signal model—a modified state-space average model—of three-phase grid-tied power converters is proposed. Through the generalized phase portraits analysis, the proposed model accurately predicts stability problems and identifies stable regions as well as decisive design parameters. …”

Language-specific distributional learning advantages in Singapore English-Mandarin bilingual adults by Goh, Hannah Letitia

“…The language-specific hypothesis of bilingual learning advantages suggests that language learning advantages are tied to an individual’s linguistic experience. Thus, learning advantages are likely to stem from transfer effects between known languages, and to-be-learnt language stimuli. …”

The contemporary turn in Hanoi, Vietnam, 1989-2002 : Vu Dan Tan, Nguyen Van Cuong, Salon Natasha, and doi moi-in-art by Lenzi, Iola Gllian Louise

“…Having evoked the mainstream that the vanguard departed, my study accounts for vanguard material expansion, alternative modes of circulation, and interdisciplinarity whereby images integrated text, arguing these innovations were tied to social context. It uncovers how and why artworks transformed local codes associated with the village to produce conceptually-based aesthetic languages that involved audiences in critical debate. …”

Role conceptions and alliances: explaining U.S. Asia-Pacific allies' policy alignment with the United States over the South China Sea by Wang, Shuqi

“…Despite having close military ties with the United States (U.S.) and presumed accommodation of its policies, U.S. allies in the Asia-Pacific region have responded differently to the competing issues between the United States and China. …”

Art of tumor immunity: extricating hypoxia-driven immunosuppression in the solid tumor microenvironment by Tay, Apple Hui Min

“…The fate of tumors, from initiation to in situ carcinoma and ultimately metastasis, is intricately tied to the balance between the immune system’s effector cytotoxic and tolerogenic immunosuppressive responses, collectively known as tumor immunity. …”

Audio captioning and retrieval with improved cross-modal objectives by Koh, Andrew Jin Jie

“…Firstly, we introduce an easy-to-use and scalable architecture, Converging Tied Layers. This architecture makes use of shared transformer layers to align both the audio and text representations in the same subspace. …”

The secret lives of urban kampong chiefs : a political ethnography of grassroots leaders in Singapore's neighbourhood governance and regime politics by Wong, George Boon Keng

“…I do so by charting the varying degrees of involvement grassroots leaders are tied to through parapolitics. In the first instance, I show how grassroots leaders channel grassroots resources to support PAP-MPs’ home styles through the latter’s role as grassroots advisors. …”
