A study on the impact of Panama Canal expansion on major stakeholders by Lee, Jin Yan

“…Meanwhile, USEC ports should first expand and improve the port infrastructure to accommodate and handle the mega vessels before considering further benefits that they can tap on from the canal expansion. On the other hand, Caribbean ports which envisioned establishing as transhipment hubs need to find ways to address its weak cargo base, as well as further expand and upgrade the port facilities in order to achieve the status. …”

Mythical heroines : the appropriation of myth in reconstructing female identities in ethnic American literature by Goh, I-Mei.

“…In all three texts, the main characters display fragmentation of selves and sometimes a fusing of several characters, or in the case of Jasmine, the embodiment of many selves within one body. The female characters tap into these myths in order to construct viable identities for themselves in order to fight against patriarchy, marginalization, and erasure. …”

Determination of mosquitoes species diversity and molecular detection of West Nile virus in wild bird habitats in Perak and Selangor, Malaysia by Jafar Ali, Natasha

“…The aim of this study was identifying the diversity of mosquito species found near to the wild bird habitats and determining the presence of WNV RNA in the mosquitoes in the selected areas of West Coast Malaysia. Mosquitoes were trapped by using CDC Light Trap baited with carbon dioxide followed by sex and species identification with morphological and taxonomic keys under stereomicroscope. …”

Interpretation of an anomalous peak in low-temperature photoluminescence measurements of bulk GaAs[sub 1−x]N[sub x] on GaAs by Cheah, Weng Kwong, Fan, Weijun, Yoon, Soon Fatt, Loke, Wan Khai, Liu, R., Wee, A. T. S.

“…The band-anticrossing model is used to identify the origins of the two peaks and we propose a model to explain the RTA observations by the concept of increased confinement in areas of higher N concentrations by trapped N localized states. The peak is due to the accumulation of N content near the GaAs/GaAsN interface. …”

High flux strontium atom source by Feng, C. H., Robert, P., Bouyer, P., Canuel, B., Li, Jianing, Das, Swarup, Kwong, Chang Chi, Wilkowski, David, Prevedelli, M., Bertoldi, A.

“…Our approach involves velocity-dependent transverse capture of atoms using a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap. To enhance the atomic flux, we employ tailored magnetic fields that minimize radial beam expansion and incorporate a cascaded Zeeman-slowing configuration utilizing two optical frequencies. …”

Radioactive Atoms and Molecules for Fundamental Physics by Udrescu, Silviu-Marian

“…I will then present the theoretical calculations and the status of an experiment aiming to measure hadronic parity violation using single molecular ions inside a Penning trap. The experiment's goal is to use the external magnetic field provided by the trap to fine-tune molecular energy levels of opposite parity close to degeneracy, thus increasing the signal produced by parity violating nuclear properties. …”
