The prospective associations of 24-hour movement behaviors and domain-specific activities with executive function and academic achievement among school-aged children in Singapore by Padmapriya, Natarajan, Bernard, Jonathan Y., Tan, Sarah Yi Xuan, Chu, Anne H. Y., Goh, Claire Marie Jie Lin, Tan, Shuen Lin, Shek, Lynette P., Chong, Yap Seng, Tan, Kok Hian, Chan, Shiao-Yng, Yap, Fabian, Godfrey, Keith M., Lee, Yung Seng, Meaney, Michael J., Eriksson, Johan G., Tan, Chuen Seng, Law, Evelyn C., Müller-Riemenschneider, Falk

“…However, higher moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) relative to remaining movement behaviors at age 5.5 years was associated with lower academic achievement [Mean difference (95% confidence interval): −0.367 (−0.726, −0.009) z-score], and reallocating MVPA time to sleep showed higher academic achievement scores [30 min from MVPA to sleep: 0.214 (0.023, 0.404) z-score]. …”

新加坡华语电视剧华人形象研究 = A study of ethnic Chinese images in Singapore Chinese television drama by Xiang, Zhili

“…Based on collecting, viewing and categorizing the representative TV series of MediaCorp Channel 8, this thesis analyzes the six dimensions in the construction of images of ethnic Chinese: Chinese nationals (Overseas Chinese), Singapore citizens, English education, language dialects, new immigrants from China, and other races in Singapore like Malays and Indian. In terms of the images of Overseas Chinese and Singapore citizens, Singapore Chinese TV dramas have demonstrated the transformation of the identities; before the Second World War, the emphasis was on the establishment of the Overseas Chinese identity; after the independence of Singapore, the attention was on promoting and instilling the identity of Singapore citizens. …”

High-voltage IR-UWB pulse generator MMIC design and beamforming for indoor-ranging and radar applications by Hussain Ansari Md Arif

“…In recent times, impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) systems have gained significant attention for indoor positioning and short-range radar applications due to many of their inherent properties like ultra-fine temporal resolution, non-line-of-sight detection, multipath immunity, low power consumption, low-cost, etc. …”

Solution-processed lead halide perovskite single crystal scintillators by Xie, Aozhen

“…Heavy element Pb, low fabrication cost and relatively strong emission make some of perovskite scintillators (like (PEA)2PbBr4 and (BA)2PbBr4 in this thesis) potentially competitive in comparison to current commercial scintillators. …”

Atypical DNA methylation, sRNA-size distribution, and female gametogenesis in Utricularia gibba by Cervantes-Pérez, Sergio Alan, Yong-Villalobos, Lenin, Florez-Zapata, Nathalia M. V., Oropeza-Aburto, Araceli, Rico-Reséndiz, Félix, Amasende-Morales, Itzel, Lan, Tianying, Martínez, Octavio, Vielle-Calzada, Jean Philippe, Albert, Victor A., Herrera-Estrella, Luis

“…Moreover, some key genes involved in the RdDM pathway may not represented by compensatory paralogs or comprise truncated proteins, for example, U. gibba DICER-LIKE 3 (DCL3), encoding a DICER endonuclease that produces 24-nt small-interfering RNAs, has lost key domains required for complete function. …”

Coacervates derived from mussel foot proteins by Guo, Qi

“…Pvfp-5-Dopa could form coacervate microdroplets under seawater conditions, while Pvfp-5-Tyr could only form gel-like precipitates. Further characterization results using periodate oxidation, NMR and QC calculation found that Dopa residues could form a transient triangular hydrogen bonding network which is specific for Pvfp-5-Dopa. …”

Thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites based on polydopamine-coated clay : preparation, structures and properties by Phua, Si Lei

“…The results showed drastic improvement in UV resistance and thermal stability of PP/D-clay owing to the effective radical scavenging ability of melanin-like PDA layer on clays. Meanwhile, the excellent UV resistance of PP/D-clay nanocomposites can be attributed to the masking effect imposed by PDA coating. …”
