Socioeconomic status, frailty, and subjective well-being : a moderated mediation analysis in elderly Chinese by Yang, Fang, Pang, Joyce Shumin

“…Results show that frailty mediated the relationship between socioeconomic status and subjective well-being, and social activities moderated the model, such that the mediation effect of frailty was significant only when social activities were lower. Moreover, the moderated mediation model was significant only for women, not for men. …”

Best of both worlds : hybrid identities of mixed-race individuals in Singapore by Lim, Tricia Anna.

“…The major themes of this study are (a) the centrality of race as part of their constructions of self-identity, (b) their constant need to take positions vis-à-vis inquiries about “what they are”, due to their ambiguous phenotype, (c) the cultural capital that mixed-race individuals construct to make choices when navigating various social situations, and (d) the strategies that these individuals employ to resist being placed in defined racial categories. …”

Discrimination of dendrimer aggregates on mica based on adhesion force : a pulsed force mode atomic force microscopy study by Grim, P. C. M., Vosch, T., Wiesler, U. M., Berresheim, A. J., Müllen, K., De Schryver, F. C., Zhang, Hua

“…The adhesion properties could be related to the chemical nature of the outer surface of the dendrimers and the mica surface, and the thin film of water adsorbed on mica when imaged under ambient conditions. Most importantly, from the adhesion image of mixed aggregates of G2Td(COOH)16 and G4-Td, as measured by PFM-AFM, the two different aggregated dendrimers can be easily discriminated.…”

Performance analysis of orthogonal space-time block code with minimum-selection generalized selection combining receiver over rayleigh fading by Tan, Beng Soon, Li, Kwok Hung, Teh, Kah Chan

“…In addition, it was shown that the OSTBC/MS-GSC can achieve similar performance, compared with the OSTBC/GSC with reduced processing when the predetermined threshold is optimized. In the analysis of this OSTBC/MS-GSC system over a Rayleigh-fading channel, the moment-generating function is presented, where it can be conveniently used to numerically compute the symbol error rate (SER). …”
