Attempting developmental regionalism through AFTA : the domestic politics - domestic capital nexus by Helen E. S. Nesadurai

“…Althought AFTA is acknowledged as a project of open regionalism aimed at attracting FDI to Southeast Asian region, its member surprisingly chose to accord foreign investors full market access and national treatment privileges at least ten years later than to ASEAN national investors in AFTA's investment liberalisation component programme. …”

Polar curved polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soot formation by Menon, Angiras, Martin, Jacob W., Bowal, Kimberly, Slavchov, Radomir I., Akroyd, Jethro, Mosbach, Sebastian, Kraft, Markus

“…The earliest (smallest size) onset of curvature integration was found to be a six ring PAH with at least one pentagonal ring. The σ bonding in the presence of pentagons led to curvature, however, the π bonding strongly favored a planar geometry delaying the onset of curvature and therefore the induction of a flexoelectric dipole moment. …”

EEG-based stress recognition using deep learning techniques by Syabil Kwajah

“…There had been multiple studies about stress recognition however, the aim of this project was to implement Deep Learning for stress detection. As EEG is the least intrusive data collecting method and experiment can be conducted in a controlled environment, more studies are discovering the potential EEG has. …”

A proposal for a technology-assisted approach to wildlife management in Singapore by Chen, Melvin, Tan, Alvin De Jun, Quek, Wei Liang, Chahed, Haroun

“…We hope that our approach will promote, through an improved and data-driven understanding of macaque behavioural trends, technology-assisted decision-making and a more harmonious co-existence between humans and macaques on campus and in Singapore. Last but not least, we anticipate further extensions of our approach with respect to other forms of wildlife.…”

Digital wavefront recording, reconstruction and 3D display by Qian, Kemao

“…It only needs two fringe patterns, comparing with traditional phase-shifting technique which needs at least three fringe patterns. 2. For phase analysis, a spatially adaptive strategy for windowed Fourier transform was proposed and compared with the spatially fixed strategy and their respective advantages and disadvantages were revealed, which was useful for reliable phase analysis. 3. …”
