VR-CFD : interactive simulation of computational fluid dynamics by Yang, Sida

“…The developed VR-CFD application utilized an attractive design with bright colours, familiar game characters and game-like user interface aimed to make the introductory CFD class fun, interactive and engaging, helping students intuitively grasp the physics concepts. It is hoped that with further development on the early prototype demonstrated in this paper, the VR-CFD application could truly contribute to students’ learning in fluid dynamics problems and how CFD is used to solve them, therefore revolutionizing the way traditional mechanical engineering subjects are taught in class.…”

Investigating the neural substrates of Chinese character processing by Wu, Chiao-Yi

“…This thesis proposed a research framework by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying Chinese character processing. We hoped to further explore whether Chinese character processing involved differential neuroanatomical representations as compared with the universal language network that has been based on alphabetic languages. …”

Evaluating the rediscovery process as a treatment programme for a range of substance use disorders by Parker, Phil

“…These results help bridge the gap between the more traditional focus of addressing the psycho-pathology in SUD and the newer interest in increasing flourishing. It is hoped that this study will encourage further research and a wider adoption of the flourishing concept and this new approach, in SUD.…”

《新客》：新加坡第一部华语电影的书报讨论 = Discussions of the first Singapore Chinese-language film, Xinke (new immigrant) by 张陶陶 Chong, Pheona TaoTao

“…LIU Bei-jin, he was very hopeful and full of expectation s to the movie. But according to Jan Uhde and Yvonne Ng, Uhde in “Latent Images: Film in Singapore”, they found that “Nanyang Annual (by 1951)” reported that the film was scrapped because its technique was so poor it was felt the movie would be unable to command any audience. …”

‘Des nouvelles de mon infortunée sœur’: Marie-Antoinette dans les lettres de l’archiduchesse Marie-Christine à l’empereur François by Seth, C

“…Not only were the Austrian Netherlands (of which the duke and duchess of Saxony-Teschen were governers) at boiling point, war had also been declared between Marie-Antoinette’s homeland and the country where she hoped her son the dauphin would one day reign. Although never particularly close to her youngest sister, Maria-Christina was caught off-guard by the rush of events. …”

Optimization and scheduling for a large-scale urban transportation system involving human factors by Zhang, Yi

“…The thesis includes three technical chapters: The first technical chapter develops a model to provide traffic light scheduling for pedestrian-vehicle mixed-flow networks, where a macroscopic pedestrian "hopping" model at an intersection is formulated, which is capable of reflecting the changing capacity during one time interval resulted from the crosswalk length and pedestrian relatively lower speed. …”

Carbon-semiconductor hybrid nanostructures and their photoresponse behaviors by Zhan, Zhaoyao

“…According to the understanding on electrons transport in nanoparticle structures, under illumination, the photogenerated electrons repeatedly interact with a distribution of traps as they undertake a random hopping through the nanoparticles. A photogenerated electron may experience a million trapping events before being collected by electrode." …”

In-situ infrared spectroscopy studies of surface reactions over irradiated photocatalysts by Gong, Dangguo

“…A model is proposed for visible photo-activity via SPRpromoted electron transfer from Ag metal to TiO2. It is hoped that the in-situ spectroscopic investigations at the reactant/catalyst interface expounded in this Thesis give major impetus to subsequent research in the field. …”
