Parallel transmission technologies for imaging the brain and body with 7 tesla MRI by Kent, JL

“…</p> <p>Mapping many individual transmit channels is time-consuming, hence a method to accelerate the acquisition of B1+ maps for the entire transmit array over a large volume was also explored. …”

The onset of convection driven by buoyancy effects caused by various modes of transient heat conduction: Part I. Transient Rayleigh numbers by Tan, Ka Kheng, Thorpe, Rex B

“…It is found that the onset of convection can be predicted from a maximum transient Ra if its corresponding Biot number (Bi) is known. Hence the critical times and critical depths for stable heat conduction in fluids are obtained. …”

Impact of gerontechnology on the physical, emotional and financial wellness aspects of the older Chinese adults in Singapore by Sim, Matthew Hui Xiang

“…While most academic research focused on the attitude of the elderly towards generic technology, this paper intend to contribute to existing literature by focusing on the elderly attitude towards gerontechnology. Hence, this study examined (1) the awareness and usage level of existing gerontechnology and (2) the impact of gerontechnology on the physical, emotional and financial wellness of the older Chinese adults in Singapore. …”

Preliminary study on the characterization of forward osmosis hollow fiber membranes by Ng, Yen Ting.

“…The porous support layer is an open-structure that is incapable of preventing foulants from penetrating into its pores; hence unfavorable membrane internal fouling maybe resulted.In this work, the outer surfaces of two different types of porous substrates in an asymmetric composite polyethersulfone (PES) membrane; #A-Substrate and #B-Substrate were made denser to effectively prevent membrane internal fouling. …”

Transmission line with gaseous cavitation by Chen, Junting.

“…A comprehensive study on the development of the gaseous cavitation model has been presented in this study.The purpose of this study is to develop an improved cavitation model to closely predict the pressure transients for gaseous cavitation conditions.From the prediction obtained from both the column separation method and two-phase homogenous cavitation model, errors can be identified in areas where severe cavitation is taking place. Hence an improved two-component two-phase cavitation model with the implementation of an additional gas term has been developed herein.Foremostly, the governing equations with the implementation of the gas term are developed. …”
