Negotiating time in British Malaya : colonial Singapore’s role in time legislature, 1895 – 1933 by Teo, Grace Jie Ying

“…This paper argues that the various time changes in Singapore and British Malaya between 1895 to 1933 were products borne of influence from international agreements, yet more strongly bear the marks of local negotiation. Being arbitrary in nature, time offsets in the form of mean times, standard times, and daylight saving times were socially determined, negotiated, and sustained, by the circulation of ideas, objects, and actors. …”

Autism narratives in Singapore by Ho, Melissa Yun Ling

“…Examining Singaporean autism narratives allows us insight into the ways in which dominant global discourses about autism are negotiated in local contexts; narratives are shaped by their socio-cultural contexts and examining those from Singapore, a globalised and multicultural, yet socially conservative city-state, enables us to understand the ways in which such multiple discourses come to bear upon individual narratives. Given that these narratives have, in turn, the potential to shape cultural discourses, and having shown through close literary analysis some effects of existing stereotypes and discourses, I argue for the urgency and importance of attending to narrative ethics in the production of autism narratives in Singapore.…”

Analysing the importance of drill artists’ offline environment in the creation of violent online identities by Alexander, James

“…As young people experience social spaces, not governed by the rules of the street, they often realise that their violent online persona’s utility is limited, leading to a rebranding of their digital self. The study concludes that young people’s involvement in online violence is usually a temporary response to the offline social spaces they inhabit. …”

Molecular dynamics simulations of a new branched antimicrobial peptide : a comparison of force fields by Li, Jianguo, Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani, Bai, Yang, Liu, Shouping, Zhou, Lei, Pervushin, Konstantin, Verma, Chandra, Beuerman, Roger W.

“…Although the four force fields predict different structures of B2088, they all show that B2088 stabilizes against the head group of the lipid through hydrogen bonding of its Lys and Arg side chains. This leads us to hypothesize that B2088 is unlikely to penetrate into the hydrophobic region of the membrane owing to the high free energy costs of transfer from water, and possibly acts by carpeting and thus disrupting the membrane.…”

Adaptive routing for layer-2 load balancing in data center networks by Kanagavelu, Renuga, Lee, Francis Bu-Sung, Ragavendran, Vasanth, Aung, Khin Mi Mi

“…However, the existing Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) used in the traditional Ethernet networks becomes inefficient for Data Centers as it underutilizes the resources due to the lack of multipath capability leading to poor bandwidth utilization. In this paper we develop a layer-2 load balancing framework with a multi-path forwarding mechanism which balances the load across the network, thereby reducing the occurrence of congestion that leads to efficient utilization of the bi-section bandwidth in Data Centers. …”
