Predicting response of reinforced concrete slabs under low-velocity impact by Xiao, Yao, Li, Bing, Fujikake, Kazunori

“…In this model, the slab stiffness is calculated based on its dynamic load–displacement curve, which is built using moment–curvature analysis and critical shear crack theory. The contact between the impactor and the impacted RC slab is modelled with an elastic spring and a viscous damper. …”

Effect of prebonding anneal on the microstructure evolution and Cu–Cu diffusion bonding quality for three-dimensional integration by Peng, L., Zhang, L., Li, H.Y., Lim, Dau Fatt, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…As compared with the control wafer pair with a prebonding anneal at 300°C for 1 h in N2, the wafer pair without a prebonding anneal showed greater improvement in void density based on c-mode scanning acoustic microscopy (c-SAM). Dicing yield and shear strength were also enhanced when a prebonding anneal was not applied. …”

Effect of pH on phosphorylation of sago starch by Muhammad, K., Hussin, F., Man, Y.C., Ghazali, H.M.

“…At the reaction pH of 9, a starch phosphate obtained using STPP exhibited low hot paste viscosity but high cold paste viscosity and shear stability when cooked at 95 °C. Treatment of sago starch with a mixture of STPP and STMP yielded the best starch phosphate at the reaction pH of 9.5 which showed lower hot paste viscosity and much higher cold paste viscosity than that of sago starch phosphates prepared at pH 9 using STPP. …”

Language and ‘postcolonial shame': the politics of policy, curriculum and classroom practices in urban India by Gupta, M

“…It uses document analysis to look at language and education policies and language textbooks in India and Wales; conducts qualitative in-depth interviews with school teachers and policymakers in India and Wales and includes ethnographic data from non-participant observations of Hindi classrooms across private, government, English-medium and Hindi-medium schools in New Delhi. The chapters explore ‘hidden agendas’ (Shohamy 2005) in policy, ‘hidden curriculum’ (Jackson 1968; Apple 2009) practices and, in some cases, ‘erased curriculum’ (term mine) to study language socialisation in the classroom and language attitudes of shame and pride amongst students.…”

How are cognitive maps formed and encoded in humans? by Glitz, L

“…</p> <p>But what factors affect how well and robustly a novel cognitive map is learned in the first place? In Chapters 3 and 4 of this thesis we manipulate the training curriculum used during novel cognitive map learning and aim to elucidate the effect of training curriculum on map learning behaviourally (Chapter 3) and in terms of neural representations (Chapter 4). …”

Unfinished business: legalisation and implementation in business and human rights by Palmer, C
