In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…For a man with seventeen sons, thirty odd wars under his belt and a relatively dysfunctional family, the fact that Colonel Aureliano Buendía figures his experience with ice as the defining moment in his life is intriguing to say the least. Going through the chain of events leading to the fateful encounter, he does not remember the acrobats with gold-capped teeth or the jugglers with six arms, nor the thousand more inventions so ingenious and unusual that his father wanted to invent a memory machine so that he could remember them all; in the critical moments right before his death, the other events are fleeting, yet “for the first time since his youth he knowingly fell into a trap of nostalgia and relived that prodigious afternoon of the gypsies when his father took him to see ice” (García Márquez 266-267). …”

Fabrication and application of conductive biosurfaces. by Chen, Hailan.

“…In our research, we had mainly focused on the surface modification of neural electrodes with nanostructured coatings consisting of conductive polymers and/or carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with the aim to overcome the existing challenges and explore possible solutions to improve the electrode performance, e.g. lowering the interfacial impedance, enhancing the charge transfer capability, extending the electrode life time, and improving the cell-electrode integration. …”

Comparative slope analysis by methods of slices and finite element analysis by Choo, Glen Ming Liang.

“…There are basically two main methods namely LEM (Limit Equilibrium Method) and FEM (Finite Element Method) which can be used to analyze slope stability problems in real life. The conventional LEM which includes Ordinary Method of Slice, Bishop’s Simplified Method and Spencer Method is commonly used in geotechnical engineering when calculating FOS (Factor of Safety) in slope analysis. …”
