Rheology of liquid formulations and searching for eco-friendly thickeners by Soh, Wendy Yun Zheng

“…The surfactants used and the shampoo samples formulated are tested using a rotational rheometer, and the rheology properties are plotted on a log viscosity against a log shear rate graph. Using the power law model, the graphs can be evaluated as Newtonian or non-Newtonian. …”

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. …”

Health economic aspects of childhood excess weight by Onyimadu, O

“…My analyses of CPRD-HES data revealed that children living with overweight and obesity incurred significantly higher direct healthcare costs than their peers with a healthy weight. In comparison to children with healthy weight, those living with overweight generated additional costs of £133.93 and £66.32, on average, in the year preceding and following a BMI measurement, respectively, while children with obesity incurred additional costs of £115.47 and £154.51, on average, during the same periods. …”

Expressions of Ionianness in the Roman period by Hallmannsecker, M

“…In doing so, I want to achieve a more holistic and nuanced picture, and I hope to contribute to further the understanding of Greek culture under the Roman Empire. The individual chapters are of thematic nature and focus on one aspect of Ionian identity respectively: the perception of Ionia as a cultural region, the Ionian Koinon, myths and cults, ways of time reckoning, and onomastics. …”
