The suppression of the autonomous self in Singapore. by Li, Hansen.

“…(Koolhaas 1015 emphasis in original) As Koolhaas astutely points out, the emphasis on development in terms of national and economic progress has been a prominent consideration influencing Singapore’s policy-making and governing approach since the birth of the nation-state. Suddenly thrust with independence in 1965, “the island [Lee Kuan Yew] and his party inherit[ed] … [was] a mess: clumps of stylish colonial enclave … shabby military bases, a port, embedded in a huge, overcrowded Chinatown with a neglected hinterland of marsh … largely covered by squatter encampments” (1019). …”

China's changing trade pattern by Ren, Li

“…According to China’s customs statistics, the trade surplus amounted to a mere 32 billion US dollars in 2004. However, since 2005 the trade surplus has ballooned, and it reached nearly 180 billion US dollars in 2006, or close to 7% of China’s GDP. …”

Three essays on corporate finance by Sun, Rui

“…This implies that honest managers prefer to maintain the trust placed in them and take more care not to accidentally misstate, while dishonest managers dismiss or exploit public trust. The above findings are consistent with the idea that corporate culture is aligned with local culture, and can also be partly explained by managers’ concern about investors’ opinions, since my results show that stock market reactions to restatements are more negative for firms located in more trusting states. …”

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. …”

Cross-Modal Deep Variational Hashing by Liong, Venice Erin, Lu, Jiwen, Zhou, Jie, Tan, Yap Peng

“…Unlike most existing cross-modal hashing methods which learn a single pair of projections to map each example into a binary vector, we design a deep fusion neural network to learn non-linear transformations from image-text input pairs, such that a unified binary code is achieved in a discrete and discriminative manner using a classification-based hinge-loss criterion. We then design modality-specific neural networks in a probabilistic manner such that we model a latent variable to be close as possible from the inferred binary codes, at the same time approximated by a posterior distribution regularized by a known prior, which is suitable for out-of-sample extension. …”
