Liposomal encapsulation of pro-NO donor drug by Koh, Cheryl Jie Yan

“…In-vitro release study conducted using Phosphate buffered saline solution found that the drug was not fully encapsulated in the core of the liposomes, resulting in complete release of nitric oxide within a day. Nonetheless, our findings suggest that Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) was the most stable and was able to mimic the desired sustained release profile, although more work still needs to be done to further finetune the experimental procedures to yield a better result.…”

Examining structure in scientific research articles : a study of thematic progression and thematic density by Leong, Alvin Ping, Toh, Audrey Lin Lin, Chin, Soo Fun

“…The results were consistent across the articles in the corpus, underscoring the uniform way in which the articles were thematically structured, and in turn suggesting a core thematic pattern for scientific research writing in general. Based on these findings, the authors suggest that future studies compare the thematic structure of the introduction section vis-à-vis the other sections, and investigate the possible factors resulting in such a structure.…”

Metal hydroxide catalyst for water splitting by Neo, Yu Chen

“…To assess the OER performance of the catalyst, we performed X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (SEM-EDX), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV), Potentio Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (PEIS) measurement and stability tests. Based on our findings, Co2.5Mn0.5 is the optimal OER catalyst in terms of its OER activity and durability. …”

Social capital, fear of victimisation, prior victimisation : attitudes towards restorative justice in Singapore by Lee, Shu Min

“…However, participants with increased fear of victimisation perceived increased benefits of restorative justice for offenders and rated more support for participation in the restorative justice process as an offender. These findings not only suggest that attitudes may be influenced by other factors such as an individual’s belief in the growth mindset and Singaporeans’ resistance to change, but also that different stakeholders may possess varying attitudes towards restorative justice.…”
