Land reclamation without using soil-fills by Yeo, Eng Swee

“…With greater embedment depth and stiffness of wall, the displacement of wall are reduced. Similar to findings from Wong and Broms (1989), the undrained shear strength of clay plays a critical role in determining the displacement of the wall. …”

Comparative study on design of braced excavation systems by Toh, Yan Ting

“…From this study, the following findings are drawn: The Hardening Soil and the Hardening Soil with small-strain stiffness models generate conservative settlement profiles compared to the Mohr-Coulomb model; Combination 1 provides a conservative estimation of the wall bending moments; Upper strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 1 while bottom strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 2 Scheme 1; Scheme 2 gives a large bending moment than Scheme 1; The Mohr-Coulomb model, generally, gives a smaller maximum wall bending moment than the Hardening Soil model; findings from sheet pile excavation deviate from those from diaphragm wall excavations; and lastly, consideration of factored E50/cu ratio produces similar strut forces and bending moments compared to unfactored E50/cu values.…”

The effect of JGP slab on the stability of deep excavation by Lim, Samuel Bi Yao

“…An increase in thickness and shear strength parameter of the JGP will yield a more stable excavation, but at the expense of more internal forces in the wall. Prestressed struts and reduction in wall depth causes minor changes to the results. …”

The Survey Method : The Contribution of Surveys to Sociological Explanation / by Marsh, Catherine, author 192668

“…In The Survey Method Catherine Marsh examines such claims and shows that much of this criticism is ill-founded. The book shows that surveys do not have to be mere superficial glimpses of the surface features of processes, fact-gathering exercises or opinion polls. …”

The quality/cosmology tension for a post-inflation QCD axion by Lu, Qianshu, Reece, Matthew, Sun, Zhiquan

“…In a post-inflation axion model, the axion field value is randomized during the Peccei-Quinn phase transition, and axion domain walls form at the QCD phase transition. We emphasize that the gauge equivalence of all minima of the axion potential (i.e., domain wall number equals one) is insufficient to solve the cosmological domain wall problem. …”

Study of bioheat transfer and cardiac thermal pulse of aneurysm in the abdominal aortic using computational fluid dynamic and fluid structure interaction by Looi, Jun Cong

“…As the body experiences fever or stage-2 hypothermia, result from CFD rigid-body analysis indicates that the AAA wall would achieve thermal equilibrium, with blood temperature at a quasi-linear relationship. …”

Increasing antibiotic activity by rapid bioorthogonal conjugation of drug to resistant bacteria using an upconverted light-activated photocatalyst by Du, Quanchao, Wu, Xiangyang, Bi, Wuguo, Xing, Bengang, Yeow, Edwin Kok Lee

“…We demonstrate that the mode of action is due to increased inhibition of peptidoglycan cell wall biosynthesis. The findings in this study demonstrate that on-demand NIR-light activated bioorthogonal conjugation of Van to microbes is a viable alternative treatment in combating drug-resistant bacteria.…”
