The fine line between jianli guanxi and la guanxi. by Loh, Wan Fong.

“…Results showed that the way males build guanxi was more congruous to la guanxi and the way females build guanxi was more congruous to jianli guanxi. Based on the findings, I conclude that the amount of effort invested and value placed the relationship differentiates jianli guanxi from la guanxi.…”

Fabrication of fine features using digital light processing stereolithography by Chew, Ze Yong

“…Thus, this project was developed with the objectives to: 1. reduce production cost of Stereolithography by optimizing low end commercial Stereolithography system – ASIGA Freeform Pico 39 Plus such that it is able to print fine features 2. explore effective and convenient post processing step such that it is able to reduce material wastage and at the same time further shorten production lead time The parameter study conducted revealed that every layer thickness has a specific optimal exposure time such that the layers could be printed just fine, with minimal compromise of the internal features’ accuracy. …”
