Customized glass sealant for ceramic substrates for high temperature electronic application by Sharif, Ahmed, Gan, Chee Lip, Chen, Zhong

“…This study investigates the ceramic to ceramic bonding, using composite glass frit as the binding layer that is able to tolerate a high temperature environment for ruggedized microelectronic applications. Shear strength measurements were carried out at both room and high temperature (i.e. 250 °C) to evaluate room and high temperature performance of the joints. …”

Universal resilience patterns in labor markets by Moro, Esteban, Frank, Morgan R., Pentland, Alex, Rutherford, Alex, Cebrian, Manuel, Rahwan, Iyad

“…Further, cities that increase their job connectivity see increasing wage bills, and workers of embedded occupations enjoy higher wages than their peers elsewhere. Finally, we show how job connectivity may clarify the augmenting and deleterious impact of automation in US cities. …”

The epistemic significance of religious disagreements: cases of unconfirmed superiority disagreements by Choo, Frederick Wen Yeong

“…In this paper, I argue that many religious disagreements are cases of unconfirmed superiority disagreements, where parties have good reason to think they are not epistemic peers, yet they lack good reason to determine who is superior. …”

Magical realism and representations of the cold war in Southeast Asia by Lye, Kit Ying

“…However, while there are acknowledgements by scholars that religious myths and pre-existing animistic beliefs continue to influence the way that the indigenous people understand their worlds, Southeast Asian authors (unlike many of their postcolonial peers), do not actively employ magical realism in their exploration of history and civil unrest in their writings, and when they do, are not employed to the same degree as postcolonial authors in other regions. …”

Ideas of intelligence across development : a look into children's implicit attitudes of the male = brilliant stereotype by Ng, Sara Hui Xin

“…These results prompt for further exploration of other possible factors such as cultural influences and other socialising agents such as teachers and peers that could have a greater influence on children’s development of this gender stereotype.…”

The bending-stretching effect of a nonlinear elastic beam under finite deformation by Wu, Mao See

“…This effect is present as long as there is finite deformation, even if the material is linearly elastic. A small shear modulus μ and/or a large third-order elastic constant l, m or n will result in a large ξ. …”

Database for dynamic properties of Singapore soils by Leong, Eng Choon.

“…The effects of void ratio, confining pressure and plasticity index on the stiffness-strain relationship of saturated undisturbed soil samples were investigated. It was found that shear modulus increases with increase in plasticity index and confining pressure but decreases with the increase in void ratio. …”
