Outcomes of shoulder replacement surgery in routine care by Craig, RS

“…The lifetime risk of implant revision surgery following an elective shoulder replacement was less than 1 in 20 for patients aged 85 years or older, but as high as 1 in 4 for some patients aged less than 60 years. …”

Modelling futility in the setting of fertility treatment by Polyakov, A, Gyngel, C, Savulescu, J

“…This suggests IVF becomes futile when women are aged between 47 and 49 years of age. This is notable older than ages currently considered as futile in an Australian context (∼45). …”

Is psychological capital the same in Singapore? : an exploration of psychological capital and its relationship with engagement in an Asian context by Aw, Cherie Qiu Ying, Seah, Charlene Kai Qi, Lee, Alex Yi

“…The results indicated that the higher-order PsyCap core factor predicted engagement. Further analyses revealed that defensive pessimism is a better predictor of engagement than optimism because defensive pessimism, efficacy, hope and resilience were better able to predict engagement than the composite PsyCap. …”

The unequal dimensions of singlehood: singlehood as a gendered experience by Tan, Audrey

“…However, singlehood becomes a permanent state for older women, much quicker than it does for men, depicting how unequal marriage cut-off dates continue to persist. …”

Age-related bone loss is associated with FGF21 but not IGFBP1 in healthy adults by Lee, Shuen Yee, Fam, Kai Deng, Chia, Kar Ling, Yap, Margaret M. C., Goh, Jorming, Yeo, Kwee Poo, Yap, Eric Peng Huat, Chotirmall, Sanjay Haresh, Lim, Chin Leong

“…The IGFBP1 concentration was similar in younger and older adults (P = 0.961). The RANKL concentration was 44% lower (P = 0.006), whereas TRAP5b and BAP concentrations were 36 and 31% higher (P = 0.01 and P = 0.004), respectively, in older adults than in younger adults. …”

PostIndependentzia by Calzada, I

“…And is it possible for us, when defining territorial strategies and policies at the local level, to turn the role of social entrepreneurs and activists into promoters of progress rather than victims of stagnation? This core idea of this book is that the Basque Country, due to its own intricacies rather than merely as a consequence of its being kidnapped and held captive by the old-fashioned Spanish and French state legal frameworks, has come, over the years, to develop many points of inertia that are inherent in its territorial policies and strategies. …”

An investigative study of a sound reducer cum locator of a perforated panel by Lo, Desmond Jian Wen

“…Hence, the focus of this experiment is to determine the behaviour of the macro perforated panels with sound transmission losses by modifying different opening ratios and perforation sizes. Other than modifying the perforation sizes in order to acquire the required opening ratio, the location of the panel will also be experimented in order to determine what kind of effect perforated side panels will have on the sound transmission loss.…”

A review on fall detection systems in bathrooms: challenges and opportunities by Ramanujam, E., Perumal, Thinagaran, Shankar, K.

“…The share of the aged population over and above 65 years increased from 6% in 1990 to 9% in 2019. …”

Accelerating convolutional neural networks through enhanced designs by Gennari do Nascimento, M

“…It is expected that some layers need higher precision than others, and to avoid bottlenecks on compression, it is necessary to find the lowest bitwidth for each layer without losing overall accuracy. …”

'The burglar's mate'? How London's probation officers persuaded magistrates in Social Enquiry Reports, 1958-72 by Lunan, J

“…Due to a lack of sources, however, it remains unclear how these two generations differed in their attempts to persuade magistrates over sentencing outcomes. Fortuitously, a rare cache of over 2,000 Social Enquiry Reports (SERs) survives in the records of the City’s Justice Rooms. …”

Visual studio plugin development for model driven testing tool by Tan, Stanley Cheng Siang

Impostor syndrome and pretense by Levy, N

“…I argue that impostor syndrome occurs because (a) it is normal, appropriate and often even necessary to engage in some degree of pretense in order to acquire specialist expertise, but (b) we are much more likely to be aware of our own pretense than that of others. …”

Visual place recognition for autonomous robots using deep learning by Huang, Yifeng

“…We build attention maps from two dimensions to refine the calculation methods of residuals in VLAD, channel and spatial, and get better results than the original NetVLAD model. In addition, self-driving cars require precise, light and comfortable shapes to operate in order to achieve their portability. …”

Biaxially crumpled silver thin-film electrodes for dielectric elastomer actuators by Low, Sze-Hsien, Lau, Gih-Keong

“…Metal thin films, which have high conductivity, are much stiffer and may fracture at a much lower strain than dielectric elastomers. In order to fabricate compliant electrodes for use in dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), metal thin films have been formed into either zigzag patterns or corrugations, which favour bending and only allow uniaxial DEA deformations. …”

SRAM-based NATURE: A dynamically reconfigurable FPGA based on 10T low-power SRAMs by Jha, Niraj K., Lin, Ting-Jung, Zhang, Wei

“…It used the concept of temporal logic folding and fine-grain (e.g., cycle-level) dynamic reconfiguration to increase logic density by an order of magnitude. This dynamic reconfiguration is done intra-circuit rather than inter-circuit. …”

Synthesis of robust and multifunctional microcapsules for protective coatings used in marine and offshore environments by Sun, Dawei

“…The trifunctional microcapsules were characterized systematically, presenting superior stability in acetone, and higher mechanical strength than that of double resistant microcapsules. In order to investigate the influence of metal shell on microcapsules, systematic comparison was conducted between double resistant microcapsules and trifunctional microcapsules. …”
