Injection moulding of micro droplet generation thermoplastics devices by Goh, Qing Wen

“…Micromixer is a type of microfluidic device that is used to mix fluids together at the nanoscale level, hence the channels of the micromixer is a critical factor in the efficiency and quality of the fluid flow. The thermal bonding process is a bonding method commonly used in microfluidics, however, the heat from the bonding process causes deformation to the microchannels due to the residual stresses trapped in the microchannels that was induced during the injection moulding process. …”

Arguing about moral causation by Baysan, E

“…More specifically, the argument relies on the premise that only natural properties can play causal roles in the natural world, but based on the existing dialectic, the most likely way of defending that premise requires accepting claims about causation that generate difficulties for naturalists’ attempts to explain moral causation. …”

From ideological to political sectarianism: Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, and the state in Indonesia by Arifianto, Alexander R.

“…Such problems led to a legitimacy challenge against the Joko Widodo (‘Jokowi’) regime from senior Muhammadiyah leaders and other Islamist-leaning groups through the 2016/17 Defending Islam movement. In response, the regime aligns itself with the NU, which utilises sectarian rhetoric to discredit these groups. …”

Kantian aesthetics : the problem of personal commitment, distinction, particularity, and comparison by Han, Li Qian

“…Second, the problem of distinction arises due to dependent and free beauty functioning as two separate types of judgements as opposed to being under the same manifold. Defending Kant by interpreting dependent beauty as a sub-class of free beauty is futile because Kant did not characterise them as such. …”

Mechanism of an arched basilar membrane in mammalian cochlea by Chan, Wei Xuan

“…The theoretical analysis of the energy absorption and distribution in the thin film composite provides a guideline for selection of thermoplastic and elastomer as well as estimation of the power required for ultrasonic bonding of the film composite. The experiment shows sufficient bonding strength in the bonded samples and verified the feasibility of this methodology. …”

Social capital of NGO food support providers for the homeless in Kuala Lumpur by Oria, Prescious Ann Santos

“…It is therefore concluded that in the context of this study, NGO food support providers to homeless in Kuala Lumpur operate in between bonding and bridging types of social capital. This “Bonding-Bridging SC” suggests the feature of moralistic trust whereby trust is based on their faith that goodwill rests on other NGOs which is essential for civic engagement. …”
