Experimental study on effects of multi-column removal affecting behaviour of RC frames to mitigate progressive collapse by Ye, Da Wei

“…Various studies were conducted in the last decade with majority focusing on instances whereby only a single load bearing member, such as a column, was removed. However, in most real life accidental situations (terrorist attack/ vehicular impact) involving progressive collapse, they will often result in heavy initial impact that will lead to multi-column loss in a RC structure. …”

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. …”
