The acquisition of English and Mandarin by a Singaporean child in a trilingual home by Teo, Jennifer Lay Heong.

“…Results indicate that: (1)the absence of tense and number markers in the English data was due to the variety of Singapore Colloquial English the child was exposed to in his environment; (2)the use of pragmatic particles and the lack of clear developmental pattern in the English interrogatives were linked to the Singapore Colloquial English usage in the input; (3)the English-language acquisition pattern shows a similar pattern as those in other comparable studies done in Singapore; (4)the order of the grammatical morphemes in the Mandarin data follows the similar pattern as other monolingual children reported on; (5)code-switching and code-mixing were directly affected by social factors: interlocutor, norm of the speech situation and his language dominance; (6)code-switching also occurs for many reasons related to language use; and (7)the child language development has been affected by the varying amount of input. …”

Exœrcising a Haunted City by Wong, Bryan Hon Ting

“…This thesis documents, through the study of local Taoist-Buddhist practices, the choreographies of rituals as a reparative tool to resist the disap- pearance of local culture. It is linked to findings from everyday domestic offerings to ancestors, annual festive performances of traumatic cleansing, and the booming clientele businesses of precautionary rites, all of which demonstrate their spatial and temporal qualities as methods to resist modern state control. …”

CC meets FIPS : a hybrid test methodology for first order side channel analysis by Roy, Debapriya Basu, Bhasin, Shivam, Guilley, Sylvain, Heuser, Annelie, Patranabis, Sikhar, Mukhopadhyay, Debdeep

“…Precisely, we derive a concrete relationship between TVLA and signal to noise ratio (SNR). The linking of the two metrics allows direct computation of success rate (SR) from TVLA for given choice of intermediate variable and leakage model and thus unify these popular side channel detection and evaluation metrics. …”
