Mind the grind by Chong, Joo Xuan, Foo, Elizabeth Wei Zhi, Tan, Natasha Jing Hui, Teng, Yuxiu

“…Understanding that they continue to see the value of excelling at work, Mind the Grind introduced mindfulness meditation as a workplace performance booster, opting for a more positive approach. Built upon the Theory of Planned Behaviour, the campaign inspired the practice of mindfulness meditation as a viable solution by driving behavioural intention through improvements in its target audience’s attitudes, perception of social normality, and perceived control over mindfulness meditation. …”

Phonon screening of excitons in atomically thin semiconductors by Lee, W, Alvertis, AM, Li, Z, Louie, SG, Filip, MR, Neaton, JB, Kioupakis, E

“…We focus on atomically thin GaN quantum wells embedded in AlN and identify specific phonons in the surrounding material, AlN, that dramatically alter the lowest-lying exciton in monolayer GaN via screening. Our studies provide new intuition beyond standard models into the interplay among structural properties, phonon characteristics, and exciton properties in atomically thin semiconductors, and have implications for future experiments.…”

Identification of RAPD markers closely linked to the mlo-locus in barley by Manninen, O.M., Turpeinen, T., Nissilä, E.

“…Seven linked RAPD markers were found, the closest lying 1.6 cM away from the resistance gene. When eight barley varieties were assayed for the presence of this band, F4-980, it was found in the resistant varieties but not in the susceptible ones. …”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”
