Time/cost performance ratio modelling for estimation and project evaluation by Goh, Ngan Hong.

“…The objective of this study is to develop a theoretical background for defining and measuring performance of construction projects in relation to both time and cost effectiveness and to investigate and analyze the contract performance with respect to public institutional building and road projects in Singapore in the last ten years (1981 to 1990). It also attempts to formulate methods by which the results of the study can be used for improving performance of similar building and road projects in future by setting realistic time and cost targets.…”

Compact Capabilities: Developing and Evaluating a Field-Portable Neutron Resonance Capture Analysis System by Rahon, Jill M.

“…Technological advances in the thorium fuel cycle and other advanced reactor concepts suggest their possible commercialization for nuclear power use in the next ten years. Although the thorium cycle shares many aspects with the uranium and plutonium fuel cycles, it introduces the requirement for the nondestructive assay of multiple isotopes (²³8U, ²³²Th, ²³³U, ²³⁵U, or ²³⁹Pu) in varied concentrations and chemical or physical forms. …”

Design, characterization and properties of nitrogen-containing novel organic N-type materials by Wu, Yuechao.

“…Although a lot of n-type organic materials have been reported,this research will specially focus on N-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs)because Houk et al predicted that the azaacenes have high electron affinities and could be promising candidates for n-type semiconducting materials.In fact,some N-heteroacenes have already shown decent electron mobility.Moreover,N-heteroacenes are more stable(resistive to oxidation or dimerization).In addition,the physical properties of n-substituted heteroacenes strongly depend on the number,position and valence states of nitrogen atoms.These progresses strongly encourage me to prepare larger azaacenes In this thesis,I have designed,synthesized and characterized several new azaacenes,which are expected to exhibit good performance in electronic devices.I developed a simple and efficient method(one or two steps)to prepare targeted azaacenes through condensation reaction starting from commercially available materials.All as-prepared compounds are very stable and have lower bandgaps.Phototransistors based on 6,8,15,17-tetraaza-1.18,4.5,9.10,13.14- tetrabenzoheptacene(TTP)single crystals have been fabricated and this device exhibited excellent performance in amplifying and converting light signal under the photoconductive effect.In addition,9,11,13,22,24,26-hexaza-tetrabenzo[a,c,l,n]heptacene(HATBH)can act as an efficient anion sensor for naked-eye detection of F- and H2PO4- anions and 9,26-dihydro 9,11,13,22,24,26-hexaza-tetrapyrido[3,2-a: 2’,3’-c:3”,2”-l:2”’,3”’-n]heptacene(DHATPH)can selectively sense F- anion among TEN anions(F-,Cl-,Br -,I-,PF6-,HSO4-,NO3-,BF4-,AcO-,and H2PO4-). …”

Review of Eric Hutton, Xunzi : the complete text by Sung, Winnie

“…For non-specialists who are unacquainted with the Xunzi, it will be an excellent alternative to Burton Watson‟s abridged translations (1963) of ten out of thirty-two chapters of the Xunzi. For the specialists, it serves as a valuable new scholarly translation for their research in addition to Knoblock‟s translation (1988-94) completed twenty years ago.…”
