Diving behaviour of benthic feeding Black Guillemots by Shoji, A, Elliott, KH, Greenwood, JG, McClean, L, Leonard, K, Perrins, CM, Fayet, A, Guilford, T

“…</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong> Black Guillemots' dive duration was similar to the value predicted from allometry, and is therefore likely representative of this species. Bathymetry likely influences the dive behaviour of this benthic-feeding species because most dives were U-shaped and dive depths were shallow, which is typical for the relatively shallow water where the birds were observed foraging.…”

The effects of Ad disliking on purchase intention. by Ong, Rachel Cuiting., Chia, Gin Pei Ling., Tan, Shi Hui.

“…Ad disliking was hypothesized to lead to lower purchase intentions than when ads are liked. In addition, it was also hypothesized to have greater effects on purchase intentions when consumers have low need for cognition, when they are under low-involvement conditions and when they are not brand-loyal.…”

Database and Application Programming Interface Development for Rotational Spectroscopy by Cheung, Jasmine So Yee

“…A database of spectroscopic data serves as the foundation of the automation pipeline for assigning spectral lines to species. While there are existing databases available for use, we developed our custom database, named SAAGAdb, and an application programming interface (API) to access the database to fulfill the needs of SAAGA. …”
