Prospects for the container shipping industry over the next 5 years by Soh, Jia Jie

“…However given sufficient amount of time, there would be an increasing governmental support, and the lower cost of LNG fuel compared to bunker fuel oil, will eventually lead to an increase in LNG fuelled container vessels. This will hence increase container carrying capacity, resulting in reduced freight rates in the future.…”

Advocating for a global polylogue on vaginas : a transnational feminist critique on the vagina monologues by Hu, Cheri

“…The effects of Ensler’s lack of attention to the cultural differences manifests in the various adaptions of TVM both within and outside of USA. Hence, this paper takes a transnational feminist perspective to argue that the multiple adaptions of TVM and international responses to vaginas suggest the inability of TVM and V-Day to free up women (Ensler xxxi). …”

Detection of simultaneous structural problems using multiple structural health monitoring techniques by Yang, Lu

“…After the construction, cracks, wear and tear, fatigue, creep, etc., will appear anytime during their life span, which significantly affects the capacity of the structure to bear loads. Hence structure health monitoring (SHM) technique came into existence to detect the structural problems and increase its life span. …”
