An atomtronic experimental setup for engineering quantised circulations by Gan, Koon Siang

“…This method was inspired by two separate experiments, where it was shown that independent condensates in a segmented ring can create circulation through random phase acquisition, and a phase gradient imprint can reliably generate 1 angular momentum in a ring condensate. Bringing both ideas together, a novel protocol is devised where a 6 segment ring is imprinted with a set of phases. …”

“新游牧精神”为文化冲突的和解方案 ：从《陆犯焉识》探讨严歌苓的身份认同 = “New normadic spirit” as a solution to cultural identity conflict : an analysis of Yan Ge Ling’s cultural identity through her novel, Lu Fan... by See, Seow Ling

“…In this vein, the “New Nomadic Spirit” emerged as an essence in Chinese diasporic literature in the 1980s, elevating the concept of nomadism into a spiritual outlook, as a new expression of self-­‐identity in the experience of the diasporic authors. Bringing together the experiences of the novel’s characters, their dilemmas between staying or leaving, and the closing chapter; as well as Yan Ge Ling’s own life, it becomes apparent that the “New Nomadic Spirit” is uniquely transcendental, going beyond the original cultural referents of identity. …”

Data driven and learning based approaches for integrated landside airside operations optimization by Ali, Hasnain

“…Results show that the chances of missed connections can be significantly reduced by operationally maintaining higher turnaround time and minimum connection time and by bringing down delays at the airport. Specifically, by maintaining the flight turnaround time at 50 minutes, minimum connection time at 60 minutes and by containing arrival delays within 70% of the current delay spread at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4, transfer passenger missed connections can be prevented for almost all the flights. …”
