Design of system for parking and repositioning of bikes in a public bike-sharing system by Siong, Jun Wei

“…The new bike-sharing system includes a proposed chain lock which offers a hybrid between the locking mechanism currently present in the bike-sharing system with docking points and dockless bike-sharing system. This proposed lock brings about a myriad of advantages such as being space efficient, has a low cost of infrastructure, self-generating docking points, promotes a more orderly parking of bikes, deter bike theft and has a lower cost of production. …”

In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…Going through the chain of events leading to the fateful encounter, he does not remember the acrobats with gold-capped teeth or the jugglers with six arms, nor the thousand more inventions so ingenious and unusual that his father wanted to invent a memory machine so that he could remember them all; in the critical moments right before his death, the other events are fleeting, yet “for the first time since his youth he knowingly fell into a trap of nostalgia and relived that prodigious afternoon of the gypsies when his father took him to see ice” (García Márquez 266-267). This brings us back to the very opening of Gabriel García Márquez‟s One Hundred Years of Solitude, the famous opening line: “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice” (1). …”

Audio coding application by Chan, Gary Xin Hao

“…It is emphasized in this model that there is this phenomenon of masking, which means that when two sounds are played simultaneously or almost simultaneously, the “softer” sound will be masked by the relatively louder one and will not be heard by the human ear. This brings us to the topic on Equal Loudness Curve or also known as Fletcher Munson curve, which gives credit to Harvey Fletcher and Wilden A. …”
