Understanding non-traditional stroke outcomes that matter - poststroke depression, cognitive impairment, and sleep disturbance by Chan, Lai Gwen

“…This thesis is a pioneering, detailed, epidemiological characterization of poststroke depression (PSD), poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and poststroke poor sleep, as well as a description of long-term stroke outcomes and their potential modifiers, in a representative Singapore stroke sample through the analysis of data from a retrospective stroke cohort and through the cross-sectional study of chronic stroke patients compared with a control group by propensity score matching. …”

Sworn oaths, golden writing and decapitated heads: communication in Thomas Malory's Le Morte D’Arthur by Chwa, Yi Jie

“…Current Malorian scholarship has identified these three modes of communication as essential in interpreting the complex ethical situations in the text, but have long treated them as separate categories. Additionally, I also examine the use of oaths in the early parts of the text, namely Arthur’s coronation oath and the Pentecostal Oath, to examine how Malory sets a rudimentary framework on how we should expect Arthur and his knights to behave. …”

Investigation of ionic-conductive biodegradable electrolyte for organic electrochemical transistors by Tan, Keng Soon

“…However, most reported OECTs rely on liquid electrolytes, which may evaporate over time, affecting long-term device performance. Solid electrolytes, comprising ionic liquids and polymer matrices, offer potential solutions but may contain toxic components, posing challenges in biocompatible applications. …”

Multicarrier communications for underwater wireless channels by Leong, Chen Ming.

“…Mobile WiMAX is already available, and 3GPP has left WCDMA in favour of OFDMA for the next generation standard Evolved UTRA, often referred to as Long Term Evolution (LTE). While OFDM transmission over mobile communications channels can alleviate problem of multipath propagation, recent research efforts have focused on solving a set of inherent difficulties regarding OFDM, namely the peak-to-mean power ratio, time and frequency synchronization, and on mitigating the effects of the frequency selective fading channel. …”

Heat transfer enhancement in drag-reducing channel flow by Yeo, Keng Hoo

“…Since the discovery of the Toms effect (Toms, 1948), polymers as drag-reducing additives have been widely used to reduce the undesired drag that occurs over long-distance transportation of liquids. However, less attention has been focused on this area of research, especially in the case of re-circulating flow systems. …”

Motivational factors' relationships with sports and exercise participation of students at a Singapore University by Guo, Deborah Weixian

“…Motivational factors for sports participation tend to be more automated than exercise participation, which may better promote long-term adherence for physical activity. While relevant authorities may employ the initial use of social media platforms to encourage exercise participation, emphasis should be placed on intrinsic variables as they surface. …”
