    Modernity and functionality: relooking changes in Chinese vernacular education in Singapore, 1919-1941 by Ho, Amanda Shi Min

    Published 2022
    “…This thesis aims to reconstruct the history of modern Chinese schools in Singapore from 1919 to 1941, reexamining what has been covered thus far in both English and Chinese scholarship of the history of Chinese vernacular education in Singapore and synthesising the findings of both strands of scholarship. This thesis also aims to look beyond the study of political time markers to draw out the possible socio-cultural and economic factors that led to these changes.…”

    Island area and remoteness shape plant and soil bacterial diversity through land use and biological invasion by Xu, Mingshan, Yang, Anna, Yang, Xiaodong, Cao, Wenting, Zhang, Zengke, Li, Zengyan, Zhang, Yu, Zhang, Huaguo, You, Wenhui, Yan, En-Rong, Wardle, David A.

    Published 2023
    “…Furthermore, soil bacterial diversity was indirectly promoted by island area through increased plant diversity and decreased soil electrical conductivity, and indirectly reduced by pine forest loss through decreased plant diversity. 4. Our findings highlight that island biogeography theory has relevance to understanding human impacts in the Anthropocene, and that there is a need to more explicitly recognizing how island size and remoteness affect biodiversity not only directly, but also indirectly via their effects on human-induced drivers of biodiversity, such as land use change and biological invasion.…”

    Individual differences and relationship contexts in the perception and response to criticism: an emotion and family systems perspective by Neoh, Michelle Jin Yee

    Published 2024
    “…Parental bonding measures were also found to predict perceptions of parental criticism and spousal criticism, with results suggesting intergeneration continuity in perceptions of parental criticism in the study in Chapter 4. The findings from these studies in the thesis provide evidence and insight from multiple perspectives in illustrating differences in how criticism is perceived and responded to as a function of the interplay of individual factors and relational contexts that the criticism occurs in and how they influence one’s relationships, especially those in the family unit.…”

    Sustainable structural design optimization - prestressed concrete beams by Ng, Kok Hang

    Published 2024
    “…The case study revealed that for an 18 m wide bridge, a 3-beam layout generates lesser overall EC than a 4-beam layout and a beam length (thus column spacing) of 20 to 26 m is likely to produce the lowest EC for the bridge system. The findings from this project can be used by structural engineers to minimise the EC emissions associated with the construction industry by prudent selection of the prestressed beam parameters during the initial design. …”

    Parenting by lying and children’s lying to parents: the moderating role of children’s beliefs by Low, Petrina Hui Xian, Kyeong, Yena, Broekman, Birit, Eriksson, Johan Gunnar, Chen, Helen Yu, Setoh, Peipei

    Published 2024
    “…Exposure to white lies was associated with more child-reported lying to parents only when belief was low (B=0.28, SE=0.06, p<.001), but associated with more parent-reported lying to parents when belief was high (B=0.24, SE=0.06, p<.001). Conclusions: Our findings underscore the importance of children’s perceptions and belief in parental lies in their socialization. …”

    Development of an air conditioning compressor for a 2-in-1 electric motor for electric vehicles by N. Satheesh Kumar

    Published 2017
    “…A simulation based study has been performed on the 2-in-1 motor drivetrain architecture and the analysis point that cruise range of EV can be improved by 3.2%. Based on the findings, it is evident that the integration of the air-conditioning compressor with the traction drive results in enhancing the energy capturing capacity of the regenerative braking mechanism and decreases the power consumed from the battery. …”

    Development of immune-modulatory RNAS to regulate RIG-I-like receptors mediated antiviral immune response for therapy and vaccination by Yong, Hui Yee

    Published 2019
    “…From these hairpin dsRNAs, the shortest hairpin required to activate type I interferon signalling is the RNA with 10 perfectly base paired stem RNA (3p10L). From these findings, mismatch along the stem of the RNA was introduced to create a guanosine insertion along the stem of the 3p10L RNA and enhanced type I interferon signalling in both HEK-Lucia™ RIG-I cells and THP1-Dual™ with the guanosine insertion at the position 9 of 3p10L (3p10LG9) were observed. …”
