Deformation and its surface expression in stressed planetary materials by Seltzer, Cassandra

“…Chapter 3 applies these findings to the evolution of icy systems through simulated deformation of ice-melt aggregates, suggesting that current seismic studies which do not correct for the orientation of melt may misinterpret deformation at the base of warm ice sheets. …”

A case study of construction dispute – case A & B by Ong, Simon Yeow Kuan.

“…This would result in a vicious cycle: them delaying construction due to inadequate cash flow, and the owner withholding payment due to the delay, resulting in a halt in construction. This Final Year Project (“FYP”) will look into a case dispute involving a domestic sub-contractor and the main contractor. …”

Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…Molten polymer within a holding cup with a tiny orifice below is drawn by a needle and stuck onto a spinning mandrel for collection. As the melt is pulled from the orifice, extensional flow causes the thinning in the melt diameter and the atmosphere cools the melt down into a fiber before it is collected on the mandrel. …”

Modelling the evolution of an ice sheet’s weathering crust by Woods, T, Hewitt, IJ

“…It grows and decays in response changing weather and climate conditions, affecting the albedo, the melt rate, and the transport of meltwater across the surface. …”

Novel shape memory materials by Wei, Jun.

“…This material is an extension of silicone based thermo-responsive shape memory hybrid (SMH) that was investigated by Ding Zhen in his PhD study and this author in the URECA project. Melt glue is added into silicone as filler to form this new SMH, named silicone-melt glue (SMG) SMH. …”

Analysis of the role played by ligand-induced folding of the cocaine-binding aptamer in the photochrome aptamer switch assay by Shoara, Aron A., Churcher, Zachary R., Steele, Terry W. J., Johnson, Philip E.

“…Fluorescence anisotropy measurements were used to quantify the affinity of the conjugated aptamer to cocaine. We also used thermal melt analysis and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to show that the addition of the stilbene to the aptamer increases the melt temperature of the cocaine-bound structure-switching aptamer by (6.4 ± 0.3) °C compared to the unconjugated aptamer while the free form of the structure-switching aptamer-stilbene conjugate remains unfolded.…”

The Eoan Group and the politics of coloured opera in apartheid South Africa by Pistorius, JM

“…After the group’s operatic activities came to a permanent halt in 1980, their history sank into obscurity, despite their importance in the establishment of an operatic culture in the country. …”

Data-driven adaptive control for laser-based additive manufacturing with automatic controller tuning by Chen, Lequn, Yao, Xiling, Chew, Youxiang, Weng, Fei, Moon, Seung Ki, Bi, Guijun

“…This paper proposes a novel data-driven adaptive control strategy to adjust laser voltage with the melt pool size feedback. A multitasking controller architecture is developed to incorporate an autotuning unit that optimizes controller parameters based on the DED process data automatically. …”

The present state of PST/PTB reconstruction: can we even write a fable in Proto-Lolo-Burmese? by Matisoff, James A.

“…In sober moments, all historical linguists have to admit that a "proto-language" is at best only a pale reflection of a real living language. Often all that can be salvaged is the proto-phonemic system, along with a collection of mostly unrelated individual lexical items. …”
