Exploring connections between seagrass ecosystem services and meadow hydrodynamics by Schaefer, Rachel

“…Lastly, in a patchy current-dominated meadow the spatial variability in sediment carbon stocks did not correlate with the spatial distribution of patches. One vegetated patch showed substantially higher sediment carbon than the rest of the meadow, which was attributed to the recent persistence of the specific patch. …”

中国东北人移民新加坡后的语言变化及其社会意义 = Study of the language changes of Chinese Northeastern immigrants as a socio-linguistic Indicator in Singapore by 李思 Li, Si

“…With the help of the PRAAT phonetic software, the sound on apical consonant, R consonant and final vowel are analysed by their formant shown in PRAAT, tones and first tone syllable are analysed by intensity and pitch respectively. The thesis is also investigated the lexical changes by doing social experiment like “asking the way”. …”
