Translations: Designing Restorative Listening Experiences in the Age of Social Fragmentation by Obeng-Marnu, Naana

“…This thesis builds on a body of sociotechnical research at the MIT Center for Constructive Communication that draws upon "ancient wisdoms" of dialogue and listening and harnesses the power of technology to inform the design of dialogue spaces that promote deep, meaningful, and authentic conversations. Our approach hinges on the belief that society functions best when we hear and understand each other, an outcome that our work strives to advance by exposing people to the personal stories of others in ways that connect rather than divide. …”

Design, fabrication, evaluation of low-speed UAV wing flap actuated with shape memory alloy by Seow, Aik Khiam

“…It is then followed by design, fabrication and actuation tests for two concepts, namely the shim-based version and hinge-based version. Flexible skins, a key requirement to smooth camber change, are also explored and experimented. …”

Three-dimensional hydraulic modeling of particle deposition on the patterned isopore membrane in crossflow microfiltration by Choi, Dong-Chan, Jung, Seon-Yeop, Won, Young-June, Jang, Jun Hee, Lee, Jaewoo, Chae, Hee-Ro, Ahn, Kyung Hyun, Lee, Sangho, Park, Pyung-Kyu, Lee, Chung-Hak

“…CFD modeling studies were carried out to elucidate the anti-fouling effect of patterned membranes However, patterned membranes prepared usually by a phase inversion method are more likely to have broad pore size distributions and most modeling studies are based on two-dimensional space despite the three-dimensional pattern geometry. …”

Producing microscale Ge textures via titanium nitride- and nickel-assisted chemical etching with CMOS-compatibiliyty by Liao, Yikai, Shin, Sang-Ho, Jin, Yuhao, Wang, Qi Jie, Kim, Munho

“…Schottky contact barrier of metal catalyst with Ge is also investigated indicating similar hole injection efficiency among TiN, Ni, and Ti/Ni with Ge junction due to strong Fermi level pinning effect. The TiN- and Ni-assisted chemical etching of Ge shed light on CMOS-compatible Ge-based photonic and optoelectronic applications.…”

Stability of internal gravity wave modes: from triad resonance to broadband instability by Akylas, T.R., Kakoutas, Christos

“…The appropriate instability mechanism hinges on how the perturbation spatial scale relative to the basic-state wavelength, controlled by a parameter 𝜇, compares to the basic-state amplitude parameter, 𝜖 ≪ 1. …”

On the total synthesis of complex alkaloids by Shennan, BDA

“…Multiple competing strategies are investigated before successfully developing an efficient route to the racemic pentacycle of daphlongeranine B. This strategy hinges upon a Michael addition followed by a Claisen rearrangement and ring-closing metathesis to establish three rings.…”

Information pollution and the war in Gaza: implications for Singapore by Wong, Yasmine, Haciyakupoglu, Gulizar

“…Besides demonstrating various disinformation types and tactics, there is also the increased resonance of certain disinformation narratives as they overlap and impact on societal sensitivities and identity-based fault lines. These are challenges for Singapore, as societal fault lines present vulnerabilities for disinformation penetration, ultimately affecting social cohesion.…”

Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The test results indicated that both unbonded and bonded parabolic-shaped PT significantly enhanced compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action (CA) beyond basic flexural capacity, and also changed the plastic hinge mechanism in the precast beams. The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”
