Application of long gauge sensors on RC structures by Yong, Jun Jordan

“…Various types of sensors are utilized, including Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs), point gauges, and long gauge sensors (LGS). By applying gradual shear loads and monitoring subsequent responses, our goal is to ascertain the extent of shear stress under varying loading circumstances. …”

Essays on foreign direct investment: some missing pieces by Fernandez-Delgado, K

“…<p>This thesis contains three chapters. All are based on firm-level data for Chile between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s, and all concern the effects of foreign direct investment: the first and second chapters are about the gender balance of employment and training, respectively, while the third analyses how productivity spillovers depend on distance from the productivity frontier.…”

The toxicity of amyloid ß oligomers by Zhao, Li Na, Long, Hon Wai, Mu, Yuguang, Chew, Lock Yue

“…Such interaction gives rises to phase transitions in the sub-structures of the Aβ peptide from α-helical to β-sheet structure. By means of a coarse-grained model, we exhibit the tendency of β-sheet structures to aggregate, thus providing further insights to the process of membrane induced aggregation. …”
