Rainfall-induced slope failures and preventive measures in Singapore by Harianto, Rahardjo, Leong, Eng Choon, Alfrendo, Satyanaga, Ng, Yew Song, Tan, Hong Tuan, Hua, Chai Juay

“…As rain water infiltrates into slope, the matric suction in the soil decreases and as a result, the apparent shear strength associated with matric suction can decrease, causing the slope to become susceptible to failure. …”

从流传和演变角度探析民间童话故事《虎姑婆》的教育意义 = An investigation of the transmission and educational implication of the folk tale “Aunt Tiger” by 黄思蓉 Wong, Sirong

“…The story was circulated to different areas in China and Taiwan, and as time went by, the title of the story took different forms such as “Grandma Fox”, “Grandma Bear”, “Grandma Tiger”, and “Mother Tiger”. My main goal in this thesis is to compare the story patterns of the same story that appeared in China and Taiwan. …”

Community health workers: efficacy, taxonomy, and performance by Ballard, M

“…</p> <p><b>Conclusion:</b> In bringing the tools of evidence based practice to bear on community health worker interventions, this dissertation has contributed to the theoretical, methodological, and empirical evidence base from which the field can continue to advance.…”

Enhancing early warning: A DNA biosensor with polyaniline/graphene nanocomposite for label-free voltammetric detection of saxitoxin-producing harmful algae by Chwan Chuong Chin, Jeremy Jason, Akbar, Muhamad Afiq, Mohd Yusof, Nurul Yuziana, Pike, Andrew, Goh, Choo Ta, Mustapha, Shuhadah, Tan, Ling Ling

“…Yearly reports of detrimental effects resulting from harmful algal blooms (HAB) are still received in Malaysia and other countries, particularly concerning fish mortality and seafood contamination, both of which bear consequences for the fisheries industry. The underlying reason is the absence of a dependable early warning system. …”

Analysis of changes in composites after different level of heat exposure by Chua, HongWei

“…One of the popular extended non-destructive testing used by the aviation industry to determine heat damage in carbon fiber is the 4100 ExoScan. 4100 ExoScan’s manufacturer, the Agilent’s Technologies had published a research paper named “Composite thermal damage – correlation of short beam shear data with FTIR spectroscopy” to show the effectiveness of 4100 ExoScan to characterize the heat damage in carbon fiber. …”

Behaviour of reinforced welded tubular joints by Wong, Looi Kian.

“…Arising from this last minute alteration and/or addition of loading conditions, some of the tubular joints need to be reinforced in order to avoid punching shear failure due to axial compression. One of the convenient and less costly methods is to reinforce the joints with doubler plates. …”

Experimental and numerical investigation of adhesively bonded kfrp/steel double strap joints incorporating eggshell powder-toughened epoxy adhesive by Chia Lia Yip, Chia Lia Yip, Sugiman Sugiman, Sugiman Sugiman, Desmond Chin, Desmond Chin, Ahmad, Hilton

“…Moreover, epoxy resin is widely used as a matrix of composites and adhesives; however, it has low shear strength. Improvement of epoxy properties is therefore required, for example, by incorporating biofiller such as eggshells from household waste, which contain calcite, to improve its shear strength. …”
