Encapsulation of probiotics for food and beverage applications by Ang, Kai Lin

“…Up to date, no studies have been done to examine the viability of probiotics in popular, well-liked, commercialized carbonated sodas/beers, but it is known that certain components in these matrices (e.g. phosphoric acid in soda, hops and ethanol in beers) can reduce the viability of probiotics. …”

"You do not talk about it" : a sociological analysis of monogamy and dating infidelity in Singapore. by Muhammad Zul-Azri Abdul Rahman.

“…I contend that individuals who have been cheated on are afforded with the moral authority to label the offenders as ‘cheaters’. The ‘cheaters’ then employ strategies to hide or exit the label that has been attributed to them. …”

Information cascades and the collapse of cooperation by Yang, Guoli, Csikász-Nagy, Attila, Waites, William, Xiao, Gaoxi, Cavaliere, Matteo

“…For newcomers it is beneficial to interact with cooperators but detrimental to interact with cheaters. However, cheaters and cooperators usually cannot be identified unambiguously and newcomers’ decisions are often based on a combination of private and public information. …”

Bacterial type VI secretion system helps prevent cheating in microbial communities by Filloux, Alain

“…Although microbial “societies” do not have such rules codified, they nonetheless implement molecular strategies to restrict foes and cheaters within their respective populations and communities.…”

Experimental studies on the behaviour of non_seismically detailed reinforced concrete column by Lim, Marvin Wei Sheng.

“…Post earthquake and experimental research have shown that old reinforced concrete structures which are designed based on non-seismic details are vulnerable to shear failure during earthquakes. Shear failure can lead to a reduction in building lateral strength, change in inelastic deformation mechanism and loss of axial load-carrying capacity. …”

Probabilistic classification criterion for failure modes of reinforced concrete columns by Yu, Bo, Yu, Zecheng, Li, Bing, Li, Qiming, Ning, Chaolie

“…The accuracy and applicability of available flexure and shear strength models were scrutinized first to calculate the ratio of shear demand to shear strength (m). …”

Application of long gauge sensors on RC structures by Yong, Jun Jordan

“…Various types of sensors are utilized, including Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs), point gauges, and long gauge sensors (LGS). By applying gradual shear loads and monitoring subsequent responses, our goal is to ascertain the extent of shear stress under varying loading circumstances. …”

Stiffness of RC columns with hollow section by Teng, Ganyu

“…It was observed that the latter three parameters play significant roles in flexural stiffness. The shear stiffness component was studied in details and an equation was proposed based upon the continuum truss model for cracked elastic shear stiffness with constant crack angles. …”

Numerical study on reinforced concrete beam-column frames in progressive collapse by Long, Xu

“…Thirdly, a component-based mechanical model is proposed to simplify two dimensional RC beam-column joints, where three types of components are considered, viz., the bond-slip component, shear-panel component and interfacial shear component. …”

Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…Due to the inconsistent deformation in concrete and FRP laminate, relative slip and corresponding shear stress is created between the concrete and FRP and the bond of the interface eventually fails by shear debonding. …”

Numerical analysis of thermophoresis of charged colloidal particles in non-Newtonian concentrated electrolyte solutions by Zhou, Yi, Deng, Xin, Liang, Sheng, Zhao, Cunlu, Yang, Chun

“…The numerical simulations reveal that the shear-thinning effect of pseudoplastic fluids is advantageous to the thermophoresis, and the shear-thickening effect of dilatant fluids slows down the thermophoresis. …”
