Tanah di bawah angin = The land beneath the wind by Muhammad Syahrul Anuar

“…Tanah di Bawah Angin extrapolates upon subtle yet tumultuous rumblings pertaining to the socio-economics and racial politics of ethnic minorities in Singapore; a country that rides upon its contemporary history yet ignoring the history of this particular land in relation to the time span of the Nusantara. Pivoting upon the Straw-headed Bulbul as a metaphor to conceptually explore obscure narratives and tales — Tanah di Bawah Angin is a critical discourse within myself to understand and unpack my rich Malay history that is fading away.…”

A simplified weak coupling dynamic analysis method for running safety evaluation of train on bridges under earthquake excitation by Zhu, Zhihui, Gong, Wei, Zhou, Gaoyang, Yang, Yaowen, Jiang, Lizhong

“…Additionally, based on the method's assumptions, the earthquake excitation on the train can be separated into the seismic inertial effect and seismic-induced bridge deformation, enabling a quantitative analysis of the impact of these two types of excitations on train safety. Taking a 10-span simply supported bridge and a long-span cable-stayed bridge as examples, the proposed method's assumptions are verified by comparing its results with those obtained from a complex TTBS model. …”
