Parenting by lying and children’s lying to parents: the moderating role of children’s beliefs by Low, Petrina Hui Xian, Kyeong, Yena, Broekman, Birit, Eriksson, Johan Gunnar, Chen, Helen Yu, Setoh, Peipei

“…Exposure to white lies was associated with more child-reported lying to parents only when belief was low (B=0.28, SE=0.06, p<.001), but associated with more parent-reported lying to parents when belief was high (B=0.24, SE=0.06, p<.001). Conclusions: Our findings underscore the importance of children’s perceptions and belief in parental lies in their socialization. …”

Development of an air conditioning compressor for a 2-in-1 electric motor for electric vehicles by N. Satheesh Kumar

“…A simulation based study has been performed on the 2-in-1 motor drivetrain architecture and the analysis point that cruise range of EV can be improved by 3.2%. Based on the findings, it is evident that the integration of the air-conditioning compressor with the traction drive results in enhancing the energy capturing capacity of the regenerative braking mechanism and decreases the power consumed from the battery. …”

The role of fibroblasts in cancer progression, therapy resistance and field cancerization by Chan, Jeremy Soon Kiat

“…Importantly, oxidatively transformed fibroblasts retained their tumor-promoting capacity when adoptively transferred into tumor xenografts. Therefore, the findings reported in this thesis suggest that future anticancer therapies should consider the stromal context of tumors. …”

Development of immune-modulatory RNAS to regulate RIG-I-like receptors mediated antiviral immune response for therapy and vaccination by Yong, Hui Yee

“…From these hairpin dsRNAs, the shortest hairpin required to activate type I interferon signalling is the RNA with 10 perfectly base paired stem RNA (3p10L). From these findings, mismatch along the stem of the RNA was introduced to create a guanosine insertion along the stem of the 3p10L RNA and enhanced type I interferon signalling in both HEK-Lucia™ RIG-I cells and THP1-Dual™ with the guanosine insertion at the position 9 of 3p10L (3p10LG9) were observed. …”

Interface energetics and dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites by Goh, Teck Wee

“…Firstly, the interface energetics of FAPbI3-based perovskites with organic charge extraction layers showed apparent upward band bending, but its origin is unexpectedly due to presence of δ-FAPbI3. This finding implicates solar cell operation as it causes inefficient extraction of photoexcited electrons to the PCBM. …”
