Just the two of us : human-object relationships in consumer culture by Lai, Junjie

“…These stages were broadly categorised as: (i) Shop spaces that orient the shopping experience and mitigate meanings, (ii) Creation of meaning towards objects prior to purchase and ownership, (iii) Meaning-making and object- relations after purchase and (iv) Long term relations with the object. The study concludes that consumer culture and human-object relations have multi-faceted and complex effects on human identity.…”

Numerical simulation and modeling of carbon nanotubes by Wong, Chee How

“…Throughout the whole of this research, Brenner’s “second-generation” empirical potential is used to describe the many-body short-range interatomic interactions, while the long-range non-bonded interactions is described using van der Waals forces characterized by Lennard-Jones (12,6) potential.…”

Detection of simultaneous structural problems using multiple structural health monitoring techniques by Yang, Lu

“…Civil infrastructures are built for long-term use spanning several decades. After the construction, cracks, wear and tear, fatigue, creep, etc., will appear anytime during their life span, which significantly affects the capacity of the structure to bear loads. …”

Design and development of intelligent knee brace for monitoring daily activities by Lim, Wen Xi

“…However, due to being engrossed in what they are doing, people can often forget that they need to get up after long period of time. This project explores the design and development of an intelligent knee brace that can detect sitting and standing positions, and remind the user to get up and move around after sitting down for 30 minutes. …”

Further properties and a fast realization of the iterative truncated arithmetic mean filter by Miao, Zhenwei, Jiang, Xudong

“…It shows that this filter outperforms the median filter in attenuating not only the short-tailed Gaussian noise but also the long-tailed Laplacian noise. A fast realization of the ITM filter is proposed. …”

Empty-bucket techniques for spill-quality improvement at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron by Arrutia Sota, PA, Fraser, MA, Hagmann, G, Kain, V, Papotti, G, Spierer, A, Velotti, FM, Burrows, PN, Piandani, R

“…Synchrotrons can provide long spills of particles by employing resonant extraction where the circulating beam is slowly ejected over thousands to millions of turns by exploiting the amplitude growth caused by a transverse resonance. …”

On political tradition and ideology: Russian dimensions of practical Zionism and Israeli politics by Rabkin, Y, Yadgar, Y

“…Later, those who found themselves in Poland after Versailles became familiar with parliamentary rituals, even though the Polish state did not enjoy democracy for long. We suggest that this seemingly distant history continues to manifest itself in the political culture of contemporary Israel. …”

Comparative statics with adjustment costs and the Le Chatelier principle by Dekel, E, Quah, JK-H, Sinander, L

“…We use this insight to prove a general Le Chatelier principle: under the ordinal complementarity assumptions, if short-run adjustment is subject to a monotone cost, then the long-run response to a shock is greater than the short-run response. …”

Experimental archaeology and the study of early medieval farming by Hamerow, H, Kropp, C, Bogaard, A

“…Ros Faith has long advocated for the need to understand the practicalities of early medieval farming ‘on the ground’ and how these shaped the lived experience of peasant communities. …”

Road capacity, domestic trade and regional outcomes by Coşar, AK, Demir, B, Ghose, D, Young, N

“…A quantitative exercise using a workhorse model of spatial equilibrium implies heterogeneous effects across locations, with aggregate real income gains reaching 2–3% in the long-run. Reductions in travel times increased local employment-to-population ratio but had no effect on local population. …”

Beam studies using a Cherenkov diffraction based beam position monitor for AWAKE by Spear, B, Burrows, PN, Pakuza, C, Senes, E, Mazzoni, S, Lefevre, T, Wendt, M

“…A beam position monitor based on Cherenkov diffraction radiation (ChDR) is being investigated as a way to disentangle the signals generated by the electromagnetic fields of a short-pulse electron bunch from a long proton bunch co-propagating in the AWAKE plasma acceleration experiment at CERN. …”
