Design and development of a 3D printed breathable cast for fracture by Loo, Wan Ting

“…With these information acquired, the design of the 3D breathable cast was designed with the consideration of the factors, whereby how it would support the fracture and how it could be applied onto the hand. Rhino software together with additional plug-ins and tool components are used in designing of the cast and the choice of Selective Laser Sintering is made to print out the cast. …”

Foreign students and implications of their social networking sites usage by Tan, Yi Ting

“…Past research examining how foreign students utilise Social Networking Sites (SNS) to settle into their host countries are overly Western-centric in their discussions of the issue at hand. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine how foreigners or immigrants make use of SNS as a tool to establish their place within Singapore, whether their sense of collective identity influences their SNS usage patterns and whether their usage of SNS has any impact on their ability to integrate into the local context. …”

Super lubrication bottlebrush polymer particles synthesis using core cross-linking by Garnadi, Jovanca Kartika

“…Cross-linked bottlebrush polymer particles are not easily entangled and interpenetrated among each other due to the steric repulsion. On the other hand, linear polymers are more easily entangled among each other. …”

Impactful theory: pathways to mattering by Reinecke, J, Boxenbaum, E, Gehman, J

“…In this editorial, we question the implicit dichotomy between theory, on the one hand, and impact, on the other, and critically explore the notion of <em>impactful theory</em>. …”

Editors’ introduction: Cynthia Ozick and the art of nonfiction by Mendelssohn, M, Tyson, C

“…A 2016 New York Times profile of Cynthia Ozick summarized her career in the following terms: <br> This special issue of Studies in American Jewish Literature focuses on Ozick’s essays, criticism, reviews, memoiristic pieces, and certain unclassifiable hybrids, fragments, and thought experiments—the productions, as it were, of the other hand. It aims to take the measure of this ambidextrous author through her nonfiction, while keeping in mind the awkwardness of this category for a writer whose essays frequently display a defiant blurring of the fictive and the factual. …”

A linguistic feature vector for the visual interpretation of sign language by Bowden, R, Windridge, D, Kadir, T, Zisserman, A, Brady, M

“…Key to this approach is a 2 stage classification procedure where an initial classification stage extracts a high level description of hand shape and motion. This high level description is based upon sign linguistics and describes actions at a conceptual level easily understood by humans. …”

Retro-digitised Enggano-German dictionary derived from Kähler’s (1987) “Enggano-Deutsches Wörterbuch” by Rajeg, GPW, Pramartha, CRA, Sarasvananda, IBG, Widiatmika, PW, Segara, IBMA, Pita, YFR, Koemba, F, Putra, IGSD, Kartini, PDI, Lestari, NPW, Burleigh, B

VHS to VRML: 3D graphical models from video sequences by Zisserman, A, Fitzgibbon, A, Cross, G

“…The method can be applied to a large class of scenes and motions, and is demonstrated for sequences of interior and exterior scenes using both controlled-motion and hand-held cameras. We demonstrate two applications of this technology. …”

Image-based rendering using image-based priors by Fitzgibbon, A, Wexler, Y, Zisserman, A

“…This retains the benefits of geometric constraints, but projects out the ambiquities in depth estimation which occur in textureless regions. On the other hand, regularization is still needed in order to generate high-quality images. …”

Cross-impact of order flow imbalance in equity markets by Cont, R, Cucuringu, M, Zhang, C

“…We show that once the information from multiple levels is integrated into OFI, multi-asset models with cross-impact do not provide additional explanatory power for contemporaneous impact compared to a sparse model without cross-impact terms. On the other hand, we show that lagged cross-asset OFIs do improve the forecasting of future returns. …”

Gender equality, growth, and how a technological trap destroyed female work by Humphries, J, Schneider, B
