Rethinking speech sound disorder (SSD) in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate: the importance of recognizing phonological and language difficulties by van Eeden, S, McKean, C, Stringer, H

“…There is growing evidence of concomitant language difficulties in children with CP ± L and of a higher prevalence of developmental speech errors in children compared with non-CP ± L peers. The impact of underlying phonological and language skills on speech production in children with CP ± L is poorly understood. …”

Haemodynamic changes in visceral hybrid repairs of type III and type V thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms by Ong, Chi Wei, Wee, Ian J. Y., Cui, Fangsen, Xu, Xiao Yun, Richards, Arthur Mark, Leo, Hwa Liang, Choong, Andrew M. T. L.

“…Low time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) and high endothelial cell action potential (ECAP) and relative residence time (RRT) associated with thrombogenic susceptibility was observed in the posterior aspect of both TAAAs preoperatively. …”

3-D analysis of one-strut failure in braced excavation by Tan, Pei Qi.

“…The strut failure level was designated at either the 3rd layer or the 5th layer, in a 5 layer strutting system. The shear strength of the deeper clay layer was varied for better understanding of the excavation site.Comparing the data from the three-dimensional analysis, the plane strain analysis resulted in a slight overestimation of the results. …”

Elastic-plastic fracture mechanics investigation on two interacting cracks by Lee, Jonathon Zhao Feng

“…The first step is to find the relationship of a crack and inclusion whereby it is found that the CTOD of the crack will increase with the increase in crack size and the impact of Poisson’s ratio, shear modulus ratio, radius of inclusion, and the crack-inclusion distance on fracture properties was also found. …”

Unique composition and evolutionary histories of large low velocity provinces by Panton, J, Davies, JH, Koelemeijer, P, Myhill, R, Ritsema, J

“…Using simulations of 3-D global mantle circulation over the past 1 Gyr, we find that two antipodal LLVPs develop naturally as a consequence of Earth’s recent subduction history and the gravitational settling and stirring of SOC. Shear-wave velocity reductions in the two LLVPs are similar due to the dominating influence of temperature over composition. …”

Carbene-based bioadhesive blended with amine, thiol, and acrylate liquid additives by Ellis, Elizabeth, Djordjevic, Ivan, Muhammad Naziruddin Bin Mohd Ali, Steele, Terry W. J.

“…This work investigates carbene based bioadhesives in the presence of various liquid additives containing reactive functional groups of hydroxyl, thiol, amine, or acrylate. Steady shear viscosity, dynamic mechanical properties, microstructure, and reactive functional groups are evaluated by photorheometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and FTIR spectroscopy. …”
