Unveiling the facade of blog posts to reveal subjective well-being : an exploratory study. by Ou, Zhiqi., Tan, Justine Yi Ting., Tan, Jessie Zi Xi.

“…Our two main findings demonstrate that eight out of 11 of the regressions involving the objective ranking as the main independent variable show the objective ranking having the correct expected sign at at least the 10% significance level. As for the subjective ranking, 11 out of 13 of the regressions show it having the correct expected sign at at least the 10% significance level. …”

Terahertz spectroscopy by Chen, Lili

“…Limitations associated with this experiment were also discussed, with the main component being the lack of cryogenic cooling to reduce the THz absorption and attenuation by the water vapor. Last but not the least, recommendations for the future research in order to improve the THz signal conversion efficiency were given. …”

Development of a micro flow control system by Lee, Zi Qi.

“…A syringe pump was then used to precisely control the amount of pressure applied to push the column of ink in an upward direction. Last but not least, the plates will be lowered vertically using a slider mechanism controlled by a syringe when a drop of ink is expelled from the tip of the glass capillary tubes. …”

Constraints on vowel-zero alternations in Hungarian by Takács, Dóra Kata

“…I analyze a large set of Hungarian nominal stems whose last vowel alternates with zero in certain contexts (Vago (1980), Siptár & Törkenczy (2000)): e.g. bokor [bokor], bokr-ok [bokr-ok]. …”

A proposal for a technology-assisted approach to wildlife management in Singapore by Chen, Melvin, Tan, Alvin De Jun, Quek, Wei Liang, Chahed, Haroun

“…We hope that our approach will promote, through an improved and data-driven understanding of macaque behavioural trends, technology-assisted decision-making and a more harmonious co-existence between humans and macaques on campus and in Singapore. Last but not least, we anticipate further extensions of our approach with respect to other forms of wildlife.…”

Long-term stability challenges and opportunities in acidic oxygen evolution electrocatalysis by Wang, Qilun, Cheng, Yaqi, Tao, Hua Bing, Liu, Yuhang, Ma, Xuehu, Li, Dong-Sheng, Yang, Hong Bin, Liu, Bin

“…In this review, critical factors that may lead to catalyst's instability in couple with potential solutions are comprehensively discussed, including mechanical peeling, substrate corrosion, active-site over-oxidation/dissolution, reconstruction, oxide crystal structure collapse through the lattice oxygen-participated reaction pathway, etc. Last but not least, personal prospects are provided in terms of rigorous stability evaluation criteria, in situ/operando characterizations, economic feasibility and practical electrolyzer consideration, highlighting the ternary relationship of structure evolution, industrial-relevant activity and stability to serve as a roadmap towards the ultimate application of PEMWE.…”

Hierarchical approach to study water cluster in first-principles calculations by Nguyen, Quoc Chinh

“…In addition, the effects of zero-point energy correction on the relative stabilities, thermodynamic properties and vibrational spectra of each system were discussed throughout the studies. Last but not least, we reported the details on the development of the potential models for protonated hydrogen fluoride and deprotonated water clusters in order to extend the current work to other molecular systems and also to improve the efficiency of the hierarchical approach for our future studies.…”

Retention in second year computing students in a London-based university during the post-Covid-19 era using learned optimism as a lens: a statistical analysis in R by Chrysikos, Alexandros, Bamford, Neal

“…Furthermore, a slight increase in the least optimistic students was observed. Returning to in person interaction with classmates and lecturers could be a major factor in reducing the minimum score compared to the previous year’s study (2021). …”

Chromatin structuring factor HMGA2 controls subtelomere stability and cancer chemosensitivity by Syed Moiz Ahmed

“…In addition, studies in yeast found HMGA2 to prevent the formation of a potentially topologically driven, pathological fork structure, thereby preventing fork collapse and hinting at a possible mechanism of fork protection. …”

Use of co-cultivation method to stimulate the production of antimicrobial natural products from mangrove microorganisms by Tan, Jin Wei

“…Cryptic gene clusters from actinomycetes are suspected to harbor potential in producing bioactive products, and in this study, co-cultivation is utilized to stimulate these cryptic gene clusters in novel antibiotics production. 10 actinomycete strains isolated from Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve were co-cultured with Mycobacterium Abscessus and Asperigillus Westerdijikiae in two liquid mediums, Glucose-Yeast extract-Malt extract (GYM) and Minimum Media (MM). …”

Boronic acid and nitrofuranyl derivatives as potential therapeutics by Dey, AL

“…However, the desired NInC proved unstable and the studies on ester hydrolysis of these novel NInCs suggest that a suitable ester prodrug of these potential drug conjugates may be promising in a clinical setting. Last but not least, it is hoped that a handful of these potentially novel therapeutics could further be developed into leads or drug candidates either in Oxford or elsewhere in an attempt to tackle the ever-increasing antibacterial resistance. …”

On a problem of El-Zahar and Erdős by Nguyen, T, Scott, A, Seymour, P

“…First, a strengthening: we can ask for one of the two subgraphs to have large chromatic number: that is, for all <i>t</i>, <i>c</i> ≥ 1 there exists <i>d</i> ≥ 1 such that if <i>G</i> has chromatic number at least <i>d</i>, and does not contain the complete graph <i>K_t</i> as a subgraph, then there are anticomplete subgraphs <i>A</i>, <i>B</i>, where <i>A</i> has minimum degree at least <i>c</i> and <i>B</i> has chromatic number at least <i>c</i>.…”

A regulatory role for repeated decoy transcription factor binding sites in target gene expression by Lee, Tek‐Hyung, Maheshri, Narendra

“…Using a synthetic system in budding yeast, we demonstrate that repeated decoy sites inhibit gene expression by sequestering a transcriptional activator and converting the graded dose–response of target promoters to a sharper, sigmoidal‐like response. …”

Discovery of stabilized functional mutants of human aquaporin 1 by Soh, Miao Yi

“…A cell-based freeze-thaw functionality assay that was developed by the lab was conducted on yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells transformed with the plasmids to identify the functional mutants, i.e., mutants that express the mutated AQP1 protein that would allow them to exhibit a protective effect in response to rapid freezing. ~ 5% of mutants from a total of 2816 screened from thirty-three 96-well plates were identified after a series of initial and verification screens. …”
