Predictors of weight loss in overweight Singaporean males in the Singapore Adult Metabolism Study (SAMS). by Tay, Yu Juan.

“…The intervention comprised of diet modification through meal replacements, group and individual nutritional education and counselling sessions, as well as prescribed and supervised exercise regime. After intervention, there was a significant reduction in mean body weight (-7.95 ± 3.45 kg), Skinfold fat composition (-3.24 ± 3.357 %) and DEXA fat composition (-2.93 ± 2.93 %). …”

The radial spreading of volcanic umbrella clouds deduced from satellite measurements by Prata, F, Prata, A, Tanner, R, Grainger, RG, Borgas, M, Aubry, TJ

“…At the onset of neutral buoyancy, the radial spreading is better explained by a stronger dependence on time of A ⇠ C, rather than C 2/3, C 3/4 or C 2/9. This flow regime exists on the order of minutes and has not been observed previously in satellite data. …”

Statistical theory of the broadband two-plasmon decay instability by Rusko, RT, Bingham, R, Silva, LO, Harper, M, Aboushelbaya, R, Myatt, JF, Norreys, PA

“…The intermediate bandwidth regime is explored numerically – the growth rate is reduced to half its monochromatic value for laser intensities of 1015 W/cm2 and relatively modest bandwidths of 5 THz. …”

Visualising human life in volumetric cities: city digital twins and other disasters by Rose, G

“…Many critical accounts of this visual and volumetric regime are attentive to the forms of corporealised human life that emerge in relation to the picturing of various volumes. …”

Using algorithms to improve knowledge work by Amaya, J, Holweg, M

“…We also find that the ability to sustain any improvement depends on the adjustment of the knowledge regime—the practices and structures that sanction knowledge. …”

Kinetic subspace investigation using neural network for uncertainty quantification in nonpremixed flamelets by Koenig, Benjamin C, Ji, Weiqi, Deng, Sili

“…However, this one-dimensional assumption does not apply to all flamelet regimes. In the current work, we developed a systematic approach to discover low-dimensional active subspace reductions that apply to the entire mixture fraction space of the flamelet, and that function even in cases where the uncertainty response is not uniform across the entire solution domain and the one-dimensional assumption does not apply. …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…It can thus be shown that a commitment to democracy entails a commitment to certain privacy rights—a finding that circumvents the difficulty in establishing a common basis for privacy protections by appealing to all citizens who live under democratic regimes. In abandoning familiar understandings of privacy, the political approach to privacy does away with the problematic emphasis on consent, adapts privacy to an ever-changing surveillance environment, addresses prominent critiques of privacy rights, and provides a common basis of justification for future privacy legislation. …”

Temporal evolution of mechanical properties in PDMS: A comparative study of elastic modulus and relaxation time for storage in air and aqueous environment by Zhang, Y, Adam, C, Rehnstrom, H, Contera, S

“…The identification of two distinct relaxation times suggests the involvement of two disparate material property regimes in the relaxation process, implying changes in the surface material composition at the interface with air/water. …”

Observation of vector solitons supported by third-order dispersion by Guo, Jun, Hu, Xiaonan, Song, Yu Feng, Shao, Guo Dong, Zhao, Lu Ming, Tang, Ding Yuan

“…Operating the fiber laser in either the net normal or net anomalous dispersion regime, we found that both dark-bright and antidark-bright vector solitons could be simultaneously formed as a result of incoherent cross-polarization phase modulation. …”

An observational study of the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in treatment-experienced people living with HIV in Singapore by Ang, Li Wei, Ng, Oon Tek, Boudville, Irving Charles, Leo, Yee Sin, Wong, Chen Seong

“…Background: While the use of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has conferred significant reduction in morbidity and mortality, there are growing concerns about the metabolic complications of antiretroviral regimens in HIV-infected patients. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Singapore. …”

Highly efficient and salt rejecting solar evaporation via a wick-free confined water layer by Zhang, Lenan, Li, Xiangyu, Zhong, Yang, Leroy, Arny, Xu, Zhenyuan, Zhao, Lin, Wang, Evelyn N

“…More notably, there exists a regime enabling simultaneous thermal localization and salt rejection, i.e., natural convection significantly accelerates salt rejection while inducing negligible additional heat loss. …”

Do contrasting statements improve users’ understanding of different assurance levels conveyed in assurance reports? by Low, Kin-Yew, Boo, El'fred

“…We find that, under the current reporting regime which requires the inclusion of contrasting statements only in limited assurance reports, only more informed users can differentiate the extent of assurance conveyed in limited versus reasonable assurance reports. …”
