In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…Going through the chain of events leading to the fateful encounter, he does not remember the acrobats with gold-capped teeth or the jugglers with six arms, nor the thousand more inventions so ingenious and unusual that his father wanted to invent a memory machine so that he could remember them all; in the critical moments right before his death, the other events are fleeting, yet “for the first time since his youth he knowingly fell into a trap of nostalgia and relived that prodigious afternoon of the gypsies when his father took him to see ice” (García Márquez 266-267). This brings us back to the very opening of Gabriel García Márquez‟s One Hundred Years of Solitude, the famous opening line: “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice” (1). …”

Audio coding application by Chan, Gary Xin Hao

“…It is emphasized in this model that there is this phenomenon of masking, which means that when two sounds are played simultaneously or almost simultaneously, the “softer” sound will be masked by the relatively louder one and will not be heard by the human ear. This brings us to the topic on Equal Loudness Curve or also known as Fletcher Munson curve, which gives credit to Harvey Fletcher and Wilden A. …”

On domain knowledge organization and extraction in software engineering by Ye, Deheng

“…Through this study, we obtain an overall understanding of the domain knowledge organization, correlation and evolution, which inspires further research on extracting and linking software engineering knowledge. 2) we propose semi-supervised methods for extracting software-specific named entities, such as API mentions, from informal natural language text. 3) we develop automated techniques to link semantically linkable knowledge at document-level, and to link a recognized API mention to its fully qualified form as appeared in the API documentation at entity-level. …”

Wear behaviour of NiTi shape memory alloys by Yan, Lina

“…For example, since mechanical properties of NiTi SMAs are close to those of cortical bones, NiTi SMA based implants such as joint replacements, bone plates, and spine fracture fixations were developed. However, complex wear modes on the surface may cause undesired reactions from neighboring tissues, leading to a serious inflammation of the human body. …”
