Understanding the physical and chemical properties of keratin films by Chia, Sheryl CaiYing.

“…Mechanical testing showed that the film with least glycerol has the highest strength but lowest elongation and UV-Vis Spectroscopy revealed that all the films absorb in the UV region due to melanin found in hair. Lastly, Elcometer measures the thickness of the films showing a trend of decreasing thickness from the film with highest glycerol content to the one with lowest glycerol content. …”

Modeling public transit route choice behaviour by Zhou, Yao Hui.

“…It was subsequently concluded that morning commuters on the Singapore MRT East West Line from the western region were experiencing overcrowding on their journeys, but the majority of them did not adapt their route or departure time choice as a result of the unpleasant experience in the crowd, because their comfort loss did not easily overcome the concerns over other prevailing factors, like the early arrival schedule cost. …”

Molecular study of Rasd1 transcriptional regulation and Rasd1-NonO interaction. by Ong, Angeline Shufen.

“…I also find that Dbp enhances Rasd1 promoter activity by binding to the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (C/EBPβ) site located at the 5’ untranslated region (UTR) of Rasd1. Circadian expression of Rasd1 requires promoter sequence of Rasd1 and downstream GRE elements and is modulated by Dbp. …”

Investigation and implementation of image processing algorithms for medical application by Mya Thandar Maung.

“…The fMRI takes advantage of the relationship of certain stimuli leads to initiate changes in neuronal activity, which give momentary changes in blood oxygenation/oxygen level (BOLD) to the active region of the brain. In practice, it identifies the brain activity by picking up minute changes in blood flow in response to stimuli that the subject or patient experiencing associated with alternative non-stimulated instance or pause while the scanning is in progress. …”

Fracture assessment of cracked clad pipelines with weld misalignment by Zhao, Haisheng

“…The pipeline is constructed by joining one end of the pipe to the other end by girth welding process, and potential cracks are usually detected to initiate from the welding region. Furthermore, weld misalignment, centerline offset misalignment or angular misalignment, is also invariably introduced into the pipeline during the welding process, which further reduces the integrity of the pipes due to the introduction of local bending stress. …”
