“Following according to a rule is FUNDAMENTAL to our language-game.” Rules and meaning in Wittgenstein by Child, W

“…There is widespread agreement that, in his later philosophy, Wittgenstein sees the meaning of a word as a matter of the rules for its use; to grasp its meaning is to grasp the rules for its use; and using the word with that meaning is a matter of following those rules. …”

Release studies of naked DNA, polyplexes and lipoplexes from polymeric films by Ramgopal Yamini

“…This report details the study done on the stability, release and transfection efficiencies of naked DNA, polyplexes and lipoplexes from different polymeric films in which they were entrapped. The polymeric system studied includes PLGA (53/47), PCL and PEVAC .The release profile was determined by quantifying the amount of DNA released at specific time points over a period of 1 month, utilizing the fluorescence of ethidium bromide.The bioactivity of the released complexes were determined by in vitro cell transfection using COS 7 cells. …”

Cosmopolitan boundaries in Singapore : a study of Singaporean film by Lim, Shane Han Jung

“…In order to do so, I examine four independent, Singaporean films, Mee Pok Man and 12 Storeys, by Eric Khoo, Eating Air, by Kelvin Tong and Jasmine Ng, and Gone Shopping, by Wee Li Lin, to see how inhabitants of the city-state are entrapped, if they have recourse to escape, and ultimately, how they emulate cosmopolitanism. …”

The working class in Schrader’s Blue Collar (1978) by Wheeler, Mark

“…This chapter examines Paul Schrader’s directorial debut Blue Collar (1978) with reference to its entrapment of three Detroit autoworkers. Within this rust-belt drama, two of the men are black --- the thirty year-old Ezekiel ‘Zeke’ Brown (Richard Pryor) and the two-time ‘loser’ ex-convict thirty-five-year-old Sam ‘Smokey’ James (Yaphet Kotto) --- and one is white --- the thirty two year old Polish American Jerry Bartowski (Harvey Keitel). …”

Kinematic analysis of an upper extremity stroke rehabilitation orthosis by Yang, Fang

“…Using this method, the designer could predict the motion of the hand and thus gain better control over the system. Cylindrical grasp is used as an example. This method also has some deficiencies, due to lack of the actual hand anatomy data for Singapore’s stroke patient, especially the joint angle of each finger bone, some assumptions and estimations are made. …”

Arsenene nanoribbon edge-resolved strong magnetism by Wang, Sanmei, Zhang, Xi, Huang, Yongli, Sun, Chang Qing

“…We proposed a mechanism to induce strong magnetism of up to 10.92 emu g-1 in hexagonal-phase arsenene nanoribbon (AsNR) from the perspective of edge quantum entrapment. Consistency between bond-order-length-strength correlation (BOLS) theory and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that: (i) the edge bond contraction of 9.54% deepened the edge potential well of AsNR, (ii) a net charge of 0.06 e- transferred from the inner region to the edge; and (iii) the edge quantum well polarized the unpaired electron and the net spin (antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic depending on the width) is localized at the zigzag edge. …”

Triggered release from thermoresponsive polymersomes with superparamagnetic membranes by Bixner, Oliver, Kurzhals, Steffen, Virk, Mudassar, Reimhult, Erik

“…Magnetic heating of the embedded SPIONs led to increased bilayer permeability through dehydration of the thermoresponsive PNIPAM block. The entrapped calcein could therefore be released in controlled doses solely through exposure to pulses of an alternating magnetic field. …”

Curing kinetics of epoxies by thermal and alternative radiation in the application of fibre-reinforced composites by Ng, Feng Lin.

“…Therefore, the removal of the gel time constraints could lead to improved laminate quality; for example, there is more time for precise fibre placement and orientation, complete fibre wetting and the removal of entrapped air. The aim of this project is to study the feasibility of employing radiation curing in the fabrication of glass fibre reinforced composites using epoxy based matrices. …”

Biomechanical model of index finger by Fok, Kim Seng.

“…The model had been verified by means of three simulations: flexion-extension ofjoints, pinch grip and power grasp. The simulation also demonstrated the relevance of modelling passive forces generated by structures such as ligaments and soft tissues in order to accurately reproduce the force patterns of the finger seen during movement and static manipulative postures. …”
