When east meets west: beauty standards and ideals in Singapore by Dhillon, Sasha Kaur

“…Through my interviews, I discovered that Singapore constructs along unique lines – intertwining both Eastern and Western cultures with heavy emphasis on themes like skin colour, gender and race. In fact, to a certain extent my data also showcases palpable state influence in the construction of these ideals. …”

The Relationship between Linguistic Representations in Biological and Artificial Neural Networks by Kauf, Carina

“…Taken together, this thesis provides evidence that the core language network encodes semantic information only superficially, implying that naturalistic human language processing must rely on the interaction of multiple tightly interconnected systems, and argues that – in spite of their limitations – LMs can help improve our understanding of human language processing through the interplay of in-silico modeling and human experiments.…”

Magnetic levitation using neodymium magnets for vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) II by Lai, Chunji

“…This project involved the design and fabrication of a test model vertical axis wind turbine, however as this experiment was carried out indoor without any wind condition, the author used a dc motor to simulate the wind required to spin the turbine. The advantage of this motor allows the author some control over the speed of the turbine. …”
