Evaluating the roughness of structure–property relationships using pretrained molecular representations by Graff, David E, Pyzer-Knapp, Edward O, Jordan, Kirk E, Shakhnovich, Eugene I, Coley, Connor W

“…We show that pretrained representations do not produce smoother QSPR surfaces, in agreement with previous empirical results of model accuracy. Our findings suggest that imposing stronger assumptions of smoothness with respect to molecular structure during model pretraining could aid in the downstream generation of smoother QSPR surfaces.…”

Influence of thermal sintering protocol on materials properties of tungsten carbide alloy (WC-17%Co) components by binder jet printing by Low, Tammy Chien-Yu

“…The green samples were then sintered in vacuum at 1350°C and 1400°C for a duration of 2-3 hours. A key finding is immersing binder jet printed WC-17%Co components in a sand bed for thermal sintering enabled 3D shape control and uniform shrinkage. …”

Liposomal encapsulation of pro-NO donor drug by Koh, Cheryl Jie Yan

“…In-vitro release study conducted using Phosphate buffered saline solution found that the drug was not fully encapsulated in the core of the liposomes, resulting in complete release of nitric oxide within a day. Nonetheless, our findings suggest that Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) was the most stable and was able to mimic the desired sustained release profile, although more work still needs to be done to further finetune the experimental procedures to yield a better result.…”

Social gating of statistical learning in infants through interpersonal neural synchrony by Teo, Kai Xin

“…Infants of 8 to 10 months old (n = 18) were recruited and results showed that there were significant effects of eye- contact on neural synchrony (within-infant, within-adult, and infant-adult), but it was only found for within-infant synchrony in the full eye-contact condition. No significant findings were found between neural synchrony and statistical language learning. …”

Metal hydroxide catalyst for water splitting by Neo, Yu Chen

“…To assess the OER performance of the catalyst, we performed X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (SEM-EDX), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV), Potentio Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (PEIS) measurement and stability tests. Based on our findings, Co2.5Mn0.5 is the optimal OER catalyst in terms of its OER activity and durability. …”

Social capital, fear of victimisation, prior victimisation : attitudes towards restorative justice in Singapore by Lee, Shu Min

“…However, participants with increased fear of victimisation perceived increased benefits of restorative justice for offenders and rated more support for participation in the restorative justice process as an offender. These findings not only suggest that attitudes may be influenced by other factors such as an individual’s belief in the growth mindset and Singaporeans’ resistance to change, but also that different stakeholders may possess varying attitudes towards restorative justice.…”
