Examining twitter discourse on electronic cigarette and tobacco consumption during national cancer prevention month in 2018: topic modeling and geospatial analysis by Lu, Jiahui, Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…Conclusions: Though people recognized the importance of traditional tobacco control policies in reducing lung cancer incidences, their views on e-cigarette risks were divided, and discussions on the importance of e-cigarette policy control were missing from public discourse. Findings suggest the need for health organizations to continuously engage the public in discussions on the potential health risks of e-cigarettes and raise awareness of the insidious lobbying efforts from the tobacco industry.…”

Self-healing cementitious composites by encapsulation techniques by Feng, Jianhang

“…In terms of the in-situ gelation and subsequent volume growth of hydrogels, a model for simulations of crack sealing evolutions by generated hydrogels was developed and simulation outcomes were in agreement with experimental findings. Based on the research in this thesis, it can be concluded that autonomous healing of cementitious composites can be enhanced with these novel encapsulation or immobilization techniques and the new self-healing strategy, whilst future research in robust autonomous healing, cost reductions and life cycle analysis can be conducted to further upgrade autonomous healing cementitious composites.…”

Wage premium in Singapore. by Tan, Ruo Hui., Tan, Yan Yu., Lee, Wai Meng.

“…The following variables that were found to have significant impact: a) Respondents who were themselves, or have family members and close friends being severely injured, sick or killed due to job-related accidents reported higher values, b) respondents who were covered by life and accident insurance reported higher values, c) respondents with higher monthly income before taxes tended to report higher values and d) respondents who received higher education levels reported lower values. The findings of our study give interesting insights to the attitudes towards occupational risk within the Singapore context. …”

Essays on multi-echelon inventory control by Wan, Guangyu

“…Optimal inventory control policies for two-level distribution systems are notoriously complicated because of the stock allocation problem when shortage occurs at the warehouse. However, finding warehouse stock allocation policies that are optimal or near-optimal and easy to implement is of practical importance. …”

Mechanism of an arched basilar membrane in mammalian cochlea by Chan, Wei Xuan

“…The present research analyses the mechanism of an arched basilar membrane in contributing to the sharp frequency tuning in a gerbil cochlea. The findings provide understanding of an arched membrane in mammalian cochlea and enables development for application of the cochlear mechanics in areas such as microfluidics and artificial cochlear development where limitations on the channel width are critical. …”
