Assessing translation qualities of online catchwords in Chinese by taking translators’ bilingual and cultural backgrounds as affecting factors by Ji, Xinru

“…It was found that both language and cultural awareness affect the translation quality of online catchwords. It is hoped that this pilot study will help future studies of the translation quality of Chinese catchwords in Singapore and China, and to encourage more researchers to pay more attention to culture as an essential affecting factor affecting translation quality.…”

Sustainable structural design optimization - prestressed concrete beams by Ng, Kok Hang

“…The findings from this project can be used by structural engineers to minimise the EC emissions associated with the construction industry by prudent selection of the prestressed beam parameters during the initial design. The author hopes that the sustainable design guidelines provided in this paper will inspire deeper research into other beam parameters such as the tendon profile that will also influence the EC of the structure.…”

Signature methods in machine learning by Lyons, T, McLeod, A

“…This discussion fixes notation and terminology whilst simplifying the dependencies, but these background sections are not a substitute for the extensive literature they draw from.<br> Hopefully, by working some of the examples the reader will find access to useful and simple to deploy tools; tools that are moderately effective in analysing longitudinal data that is complex and irregular in contexts where massive machine learning is not a possibility. …”

Developing a Framework of Malaysian and Asean Business Communicative and Intercultural Competence (MABCIC) (S/O 13233) by Kaur, Paramjit, Mokhtar, Ahmad Azman, Raman, Arumugam, Muhammad Rawian, Rafizah

“…Business communication courses should strive to equip students with skills to adapt to various situations and become life-long learners rather than focusing on developing merely communicative competence that focuses on language accuracy per se. It is hoped that the MABCIC framework will one day pave the way to develop business communication courses that will help train students who function well at the workplace that may require them to communicate with others who use English as a lingua franca.…”

BER analysis of FFH/FSK system with self-normalzing receiver over intentional and unintentional interference channels by Toh, Yew Ber.

“…In this dissertation, the closed-form bit-error rate (BER) expressions for a uncoded fast frequency-hopped binary frequency-shift keying (FFH/BFSK) system using a non-linear diversity-combining receiver in the presence of multi-tone jamming (MTJ) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) conditions over a non-fading channel are obtained. …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…At least two phase transitions are identied at low pressure, kinetic trapping is observed and the extreme compressibility shown to be a function of cyanide reorientation and ice-like coordination. It is hoped that increase in energy scale, identified here, will enable further exploration that may shed further light on the physics of the spin and water-ices themselves.…”

Geometric tuning of charge and spin correlations in manganite superlattices by Rogdakis, K., Viskadourakis, Z., Petrović, A. P., Choi, E., Lee, J., Panagopoulos, C.

“…Charge transport in these heterostructures is confined to the interfaces and occurs via variable range hopping. Upon increasing n, the interfacial separation rises, leading to a suppression of the electrostatic screening between carriers of neighboring interfaces and the opening of a Coulomb gap at the Fermi level (EF ). …”

Learning on heterogeneous graphs using high-order relations by Lee, See Hian, Ji, Feng, Tay, Wee Peng

“…These representations preserve the heterogeneity of edges and retain their edge directions while capturing the interaction of different vertex types multiple hops apart. This is then complemented with attention mechanisms to distinguish the importance of the relation-type based neighbors and the relation-types themselves. …”

OAM-based reconfigurable doppler shifts enable PAPR reduction for multi-carrier doppler diversity by Zhao, Yufei, Ge, Yao, Yang, Zhaojie, Ju, Gaohua, Ma, Lu, Lu, Yilong, Guan, Yong Liang

“…The artificial Doppler signals can be widely used in various wireless transmission scenarios, such as Doppler spoofing stealth, Doppler index modulation, and frequency-hopping channels. As a specific example, this paper demonstrates that in the discontinuous Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems, the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) degradation caused by superposition of multi-carrier signal for additional Doppler diversity can be greatly alleviated by means of the OAM-based reconfigurable Doppler shifts.…”
