Modeling public transit route choice behaviour by Zhou, Yao Hui.

“…It was subsequently concluded that morning commuters on the Singapore MRT East West Line from the western region were experiencing overcrowding on their journeys, but the majority of them did not adapt their route or departure time choice as a result of the unpleasant experience in the crowd, because their comfort loss did not easily overcome the concerns over other prevailing factors, like the early arrival schedule cost. …”

Evaporation of water droplets under the enhanced gas concentration surrounding by Tan, Gary Zhao Quan

“…The temperatures at the apex of the droplet in the liquid phase were also found to be higher than what was measured at the point close to the contact line. The relative humidity calculated based on the predicted vapor pressure computed with the SRT approach appears to support the experimental data gathered. …”

Framework of key success criteria for high performance and sustainable ports - port management perspective by Lee, Nicole Jia Ying

“…More notably, as the other dimensions and perspectives triumphed the Social & Environment dimension and Sustainability perspective, the “Planet” aspect of the triple bottom line is the least of PSA’s concerns. Therefore, being able survive the competitive pressures takes precedence over socio-environmental sustainability concerns. …”

High-intensity two-frequency photoassociation spectroscopy of a weakly bound molecular state : theory and experiment by Kon, W. Y., Aman, J. A., Hill, J. C., Killian, T. C., Hazzard, Kaden R. A.

“…With numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, we show that this model accurately captures (1) the existence of experimentally observed satellite peaks that arise from nonlinear processes, (2) the locations of the two-photon peak in the spectrum, including AC Stark shifts, and (3) in some cases, spectral line shapes. To better understand these numerical results, we develop an approximate treatment of this model, based on Floquet and perturbation theory, that gives simple formulas that accurately capture the halo-state energies. …”

Enhanced coupled-resonator-induced transparency and optical fano resonance via intracavity backscattering by Ang, Thomas Y. L., Ngo, Nam Quoc

“…In addition, it is found that the symmetric CRIT peaks can be reshaped into asymmetric OFR line shapes either by using TWMRs with different intracavity backscattering strengths when one input is launched into the circuit or by modulating the phase/amplitude difference between the dual contrapropagating inputs, which are launched into the circuit in the presence of intracavity backscattering. …”
