从新加坡妇女理事会到新加坡妇女组织理事会 ：新加坡女性地位演变的考察 = A study of the changing status of women in Singapore (1950) : from the Singapore Council of Women to the Singapore Council of Women’s Organiza... by 王 慧 敏 Ong, Jennifer Hui Min

“…Although from the 1950s till now, the status of women in Singapore has been improving constantly, but in the 1970s, the improvement of women’s status is not as significant as compared to the past 20 years and from the 1980s and beyond. It was only in 1980 when the Singapore Council of Women’s Organizations was established that encouraged Singaporean women to be more proactive once again in fighting for their own rights to improve their status further. …”

Investigation of transition metal oxides as electrocatalysts for water oxidation by Li, Haiyan

“…Scalable hydrogen production by water splitting has been given high expectations to satisfy the ever-growing demands for renewable clean energy and cut greenhouse gas emissions. In the past decades, massive research efforts have been made globally to develop highly efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalysts, because of the significant energy loss caused by the slow oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during water electrolysis. …”
