Structural behavior of tubular frame under elevated temperature by Tan, Peng Hoe.

“…In this study, a two-bay-two-floor steel tubular frame, separated as four individual compartments, was modeled to investigate the behaviour of tubular frame under transient elevated temperature. To bear a resemblance to real fire condition, transient elevated temperature analysis was run to provide a more realistic solution. …”

Intelligent database design for microgrids in low voltage distribution systems-I GUI and database design by Ng, Pei Fen

“…Climatic change can lead to consequences such as increasing cases of heat-related illness, endangering wildlife like polar bears and rising of sea level that would trigger natural disasters leading to individual losing their homes. [51] Due to extensively use of electricity in this contemporary society, there arises a need to seek for alternative energy sources, if at all possible renewable resources such as wind and solar. …”

Geobarrier system for use in underground structure by Leong, Eng Choon, Zhai, Qian, Tan, Sze Tiong, Wang, Chien Looi, Lim, Vincent Han, Kew, Jernice Huiling, Seow, Wei Kiong, Wong, Johnny Liang Heng, Rahardjo, Harianto, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Gofar, Nurly, Mohamed, Haneena

“…On the other hand, the negative pore-water pressure contributes additional shear strength to the unsaturated soil. As water infiltrates into the slope, pore-water pressure in the slope increases (matric suction decreases), and the additional shear strength due to matric suction will decrease or even disappear, causing the slope to be more susceptible to failure. …”

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. …”

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. …”

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. …”
