Legionella pneumophila filamentous morphological form and the generation of novel spherical form upon interaction with protozoan hosts by Chan, Sock Hoai

“…Collectively, these findings suggest that under an intricate balance of environmental factors, the predominantly bacillary L. pneumophila is capable of differentiating into the filamentous form, which upon interaction with protozoan hosts may be triggered to differentiate rapidly back into the bacillary form via a spherical intermediate.…”

Synthesis and applications of novel graphene-based composites by Cao, Xiehong

“…In this method, GO sheet was served as the both template and carbon source for the synthesis of rGO/CNW composite. Based on this finding, parallel-aligned patterns of rGO/CNW composite can be obtained by pre-patterning of the GO sheets on SiO2/Si wafer, which was further used as chemical sensor. …”

Lexical stress perception : a case study on Tamil-English bilinguals by Lim, Samantha JieYing

“…However, a trend of stress perception difficulty among Hindi-English bilinguals was observed, and language dominance identified as an influencing factor. This unexpected finding is discussed in relation to a few theoretical models, including Cutler’s bimodality theory (1992).…”

Design of a 100W PV based power supply for lead acid battery charging with MPPT circuit by Erping

“…Modelling of each component namely the Photovoltaic cell, DC-DC Converter, MPPT Circuit and Battery Charging circuit are being done all through the PSIM software and are simulated to provide the results of the findings given the variables involved. All modelling circuit and component sizing are calculated through project research which would be reflected within this paper to produce the resulting to be compared respectively. …”

Understanding the behaviour of engineered nanoparticles in food by Ong, Pei Ying

“…It was revealed that two washes are sufficient to isolate the hard protein corona from the loosely bound proteins (soft protein corona). These findings are useful as they can be used as a basis for future approach to study and understand nanoparticle-corona complexes.…”

Modelling and analysis of lubricated piston skirt-cylinder sub-systems in internal combustion engines by Amirun Rasyid Abu Bakar

“…However, the trend isn’t linear, as it is found that low RPM operating with lubricants of higher viscosities can also generate high FPL and thus, a case study is done to analyse and apply the findings. The different dynamic viscosities of SAE rated engine oils are investigated to be used for our case study. …”

Gender dimorphism in parasitic behavioural manipulation hypothesis by Abdulai-Saiku, Samira

“…Alternatively, I propose a role for the oxytocin system in the MeApd which has an innate gender dimorphic expression and function. Based on my findings, I propose that manipulation by Toxoplasma gondii does not occur at the level of the substrates that are implicated in the mechanism. …”

Local scour beneath a forced-vibrating circular cylinder in unidirectional current by Chok, Man Ming

“…Through reasoning and observations, the following findings were deduced: (i) the scour capacity around a forced vibrating pipeline increases when there is current, (ii) asymmetrical vortices are produced when there is current, (iii) the combined effect of current and vibrating frequency results in different scour shape, (iv) the pounding effect is related to the vibrating frequency whereby the effect is more significant at a higher vibrating frequency (v) the scour process can be divided into a 3-stage scour before reaching the equilibrium and it is affected by the position of the vibrating cylinder. …”

Sport fans’ behaviour : the relationship between nostalgia, team loyalty, attitude toward sponsors, and behavioural intentions by Tan, Doreen Xiaofang

“…Furthermore, team loyalty and attitude toward sponsors partially mediate between nostalgia and behavioural intentions (H7: –0.770, p=0.001). These findings will allow organisations to understand that nostalgia, team loyalty, and attitude toward sponsors are needed as driving factors for football fans to visit the home grounds of football clubs or purchase sponsor products, as well as better predict fans’ behaviour, needs, and demands.…”

Apologia pro Vita-Fabula Sua: Defending Narrativity and How We Make Sense of Our Lives by Chen, Melvin

“…It begins by addressing certain uncontroversial premises that both pro- and the anti-narrative camps might be thought to agree on: the status of humans as homo significans or meaning-makers, the natural form-finding tendency and certain desiderata for significance and value that we possess, and the raw material of life and its constituents that we proceed from. …”

Strategies of colour and lighting design in the cinematography of Christopher Doyle by Peh, Colin Jin Wei

“…In particular, the merit of this research is its scholarly attention on an individual artist, Christopher Doyle, by examining his role and aesthetics on the role of colour, lighting, and camera in film narratives in determining the overall look of the film. The main findings will show the relationships between colour and space, colour and character motion, colour and mood throughout Christopher Doyle’s consistent visual style and his wide variety of works over the past twenty-five years. …”
