Manufacturing AA6061 micro-molds by hot embossing for production of polymeric microfluidic devices by Tran, Nhat Khoa

“…Thus, the focus of this research is to investigate if an aluminum alloy micro-mold could be fabricated by hot-embossing using silicon (Si) master with acceptable cost, quality, and life span. By employing the appropriate processing parameters, experiments conducted indicate conclusively that the deformation mechanism of aluminum alloy 6061 (AA6061) in micro hot embossing is the plastic deformation of the grains themselves. …”

Quantifying canine tissue stiffness change patterns using shear-wave elastography: implications for time of death estimation by Ong, Wee Kee, Leong, Sook Sam, Azman, Raja Rizal, Md Shah, Mohammad Nazri, Vijayananthan, Anushya, Lau, Seng Fong

“…The Mann-Whitney U-test and Spearman correlation coefficient showed insignificant correlation between gender and weight with shear-wave velocity (SWV) in ante-mortem scans. The Kruskal-Wallis H-test showed significant differences in SWV for all organs. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”
