教会华校的特色与地位 ：以新加坡公教中学为案例 = Missionary Chinese-medium school : its traits and position with Catholic high school, Singapore as case study by 卓汶德 Toh, Boon Teck

“…Historical evidences have shown that the missionary Chinese-medium schools are created on the basis of Chinese-medium schools and dominantly English-speaking Christian schools. With a long history of nearly 80 years and holding onto the teaching ideology of focusing students to become bilingual with Chinese and English, Catholic High School has produced some of the well-known personalities in the entertainment and the political arenas in Singapore. …”

Relevance judgment during health information seeking on a discussion forum by Pian, Wenjing

“…In contrast, participants browsing with no particular health issue used mostly their personal and general interest topics in their judgments, which took a relatively long time to scan post surrogates and to skim detailed post content.…”

Characterisation of novel electroactive consortia from environmental samples enriched through potentiostatic growth by Doyle, Lucinda Elizabeth

“…After this validation, the platform was then used to characterise a complex microbial community, during long-term electrochemical enrichment. Tropical climate sediment was chosen as inoculum source, as it is currently under-explored in this context which frequently focuses on enrichment from waste water. …”

Synthesis of noble metal-based nanocomposites for enhanced catalytic performance by Liu, Ye

“…Noble metals have been applied as heterogeneous catalysts for a long time. In recent decades, it was found that noble metal nanostructures exhibit superior catalytic performance than their bulk counterpart owing to the high surface-to-volume ratio. …”

Finite element analysis of a free-standing concrete sea-wall as alternative to traditional land reclamation by Harris, Raymond

“…The caisson seawall spans 40 m long to 28 m wide. It is connected on its longer side continuously so that it forms a wall barrier in which 20 m of seawater level will be drained from the usable side. …”

Kinematics of Active Deformation Across the Western Kunlun Mountain Range (Xinjiang, China) and Potential Seismic Hazards Within the Southern Tarim Basin by Guilbaud, Christelle, Simoes, Martine, Barrier, Laurie, Laborde, Amandine, Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Li, Haibing, Tapponnier, Paul, Coudroy, Thomas, Murray, Andrew

“…From their incision pattern and using age constraints retrieved on some of these terraces from field sampling, we quantify the slip rate on the underlying blind ramp to 0.5 to 2.5 mm/yr, with a most probable long-term value of 2 to 2.5 mm/yr. The evolution of the Yecheng–Pishan fold is proposed by combining all structural, morphological, and chronological observations. …”

Building occupant sensing : occupancy prediction and behavior recognition by Zhu, Qingchang

“…For simple motion-related activity recognition based on Inertial Measurement Unit, i.e. accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer, we propose a semi-supervised learning framework using Deep Long Short- Term Memory method. As the unlabeled data is pervasively available, the pro- posed method could enhance performance of the classification of simple motions. …”

Influence of operating parameters on morphology of laser hardened surfaces by Maharjan, Niroj, Zhou, Wei, Zhou, Yu, Wu, Naien

“…The furnace heating and tempering process take several hours which is expensive over a long run and less flexible. Laser transformation hardening is an attractive heat treatment technology which can be used to enhance the surface properties of highly stressed components such as cams, gears, and bearings without altering its bulk properties. …”

High-spin impurities and surface acoustic waves in piezoelectric crystals for spin-lattice coupling by Magnusson, E

“…This spin system has already been identified as a high potential quantum technology component due to its long coherence time. We show that the system also has good properties for spin-lattice coupling experiments, with a strain-coupling parameter <em>G</em>₃₃ = 280 ± 5GHz/strain, which is about 16 times larger than the largest reported for NV centres in diamond. …”

Vapour deposition of metal halide perovskite semiconductors by Yuan, Q

“…These unencapsulated devices also demonstrate excellent long-term stability, such that minimal change in efficiency after more than 5000 hours in storage and 3700 hour under 85°C heat-testing in N₂ atmosphere is observed.…”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…Ice-rules-obeying states are characterised by an absence of long range order, leading to a manifold of degenerate ground states, extensive residual entropy and exotic excitations; in spin-ices, these excitations correspond to topological defects in the form of effective magnetic monopoles. …”

Probabilistic verification beyond context-freeness by Li, G

“…</p> <br> <p>While Markov Chains (MCs) have long been foundational tools in this field, their limitations in modelling complex, recursive systems have prompted the development of more expressive models, such as Recursive Markov Chains (RMCs) and Probabilistic Pushdown Automata (pPDAs). …”

How does gamification impact on medical students’ academic motivation towards otolaryngology, and what demographics influence this: a mixed methods study by Burr, C

“…However, educational academics argue that gamification impacts on academic motivation negatively and reduce engagement with learning in the long-term. Thus far, studies have shown that the impacts of gamification on academic motivation are person- and context-specific. …”

Government resilience in the digital age by Raieste, A, Rebane, A, Tapupere, M, McBride, K

“…</li></ul> <br> “States that adopt our recommendations will be rewarded with a resilient digital state that could run its core and critical digital services even if there was a temporary or more long-term loss of its physical territory due to a crisis,” said Dr Keegan McBride, Lecturer in AI, Government, and Policy, Oxford Internet Institute. …”
