Laser surface treatment of 50CrMo4 steel by Chew, Han Xin

“…The speed of laser is significance in affecting the width and depth of the laser treated lines. When the speed is too high, the change is not visible, thus, the hardness test cannot be done on the cross section area.…”

Diving behaviour of benthic feeding Black Guillemots by Shoji, A, Elliott, KH, Greenwood, JG, McClean, L, Leonard, K, Perrins, CM, Fayet, A, Guilford, T

“…</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong> Black Guillemots' dive duration was similar to the value predicted from allometry, and is therefore likely representative of this species. Bathymetry likely influences the dive behaviour of this benthic-feeding species because most dives were U-shaped and dive depths were shallow, which is typical for the relatively shallow water where the birds were observed foraging.…”

Quantifying the Evolutionary Dynamics of Structure and Content in Closely Related E. coli Genomes by Molari, M, Shaw, LP, Neher, RA

“…We comprehensively describe genome evolution within n=222 genomes of Escherichia coli ST131, which likely shared a common ancestor around 100 years ago. …”

The effects of Ad disliking on purchase intention. by Ong, Rachel Cuiting., Chia, Gin Pei Ling., Tan, Shi Hui.

“…Ad disliking was hypothesized to lead to lower purchase intentions than when ads are liked. In addition, it was also hypothesized to have greater effects on purchase intentions when consumers have low need for cognition, when they are under low-involvement conditions and when they are not brand-loyal.…”

Database and Application Programming Interface Development for Rotational Spectroscopy by Cheung, Jasmine So Yee

“…A database of spectroscopic data serves as the foundation of the automation pipeline for assigning spectral lines to species. While there are existing databases available for use, we developed our custom database, named SAAGAdb, and an application programming interface (API) to access the database to fulfill the needs of SAAGA. …”

Cytotoxic triosmium carbonyl clusters : a structure-activity relationship study by Top, Siden, Vessières, Anne, Leong, Weng Kee, Lee, Shirley Hui Zhi

“…In vitro evaluation of these new compounds showed that some are selectively active against estrogen receptor (ER)-independent MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines relative to ER-dependent MCF-7 breast cancer cells, suggesting that the compounds have a different biological target specific to MDA-MB-231 cells. …”
