Cellular response to synthetic drugs : a metabolomics approach by Chen, William Wei Ning.

“…Significantly, the increase in the anabolic activity associated with the higher level of metabolic enzymes was also supported by the higher intracellular concentration of the metabolic cofactor NAD+ which was a result of an increased oxidation of NADH. Our findings therefore provide molecular evidence on metabolic effect associated with propranolol treatment. …”

Interpretable vector language models by Siow, Zi Hao

“…We associated the interpretability of a word embedding with the optimisation of various loss functions, namely Varimax, Quartimax and the l1-norm, defined on the Lie group SO(d). Our findings revealed that the l1-norm method achieved the highest level of interpretability among the three methods, because its solutions tend to have a higher proportion of matrix elements that are close to zero by promoting sparsity. …”

Public spaces as the “centre of social struggle”: how do low-wage, unemployed Bangladeshi migrant workers perceive and use public spaces in Singapore? by See, Marilyn

“…This study seeks to analyse how public spaces are sites of social struggle for low-wage, unemployed migrant workers who face significant financial and job insecurity. Three main findings pertaining to the perceptions and utilisation of public spaces will be discussed: (1) migrant workers’ precarious position in society and their agency to seek belonging within public spaces, (2) Singapore’s attractiveness as a destination country, (3) the segregation between migrant workers and the wider population in public spaces.…”

Incentives and impacts: dissecting individual and collective cheating in organizations by Riyanto, Yohanes Eko, Wang, Yuxin

“…We explored how individuals act in these scenarios through a lab experiment where three participants sequentially reported a coin toss outcome, affecting passive recipients based on the majority's dishonesty. Our findings indicate that when both the harm and benefits depend on the group's outcome, participants strategically choose their responses. …”

Stratus cluster scheduler: enhancing cloud efficiency and reducing costs in VM deployment by Kho, Marcus Han Kiat

“…As obtained from the results, it was shown that Stratus consolidated the tasks into a small number of VMs, hence reducing the overall up-time of the VMs by about 99% as compared to the baseline, which improves resource utilization efficiency and reduces operational costs. These findings point to the potential of Stratus to address critical inefficiencies in managing resources on the cloud. …”
