Segmental reporting in Singapore by Goh, Eddie Guan Chua, Jong, Voon Hoo, Kwong, Choong Kuen

“…We have also suggested for the mandatory disclosure of the basis of joint cost allocation to improve the disclosure requirement. Last but not least, we have found that the matrix form of presenting segmental reports (as shown in Chapter Six) can be used to enhance decision making and thus improve the disclosure requirement of SAS 23. …”

Study of remediation of heavy metals contaminated sediments with hydrothermal technology and sediment washing facilitated by chelating agents by Wong, Angeline Shou Yee.

“…Hydrothermal treatment has a greater impact on removal of Pb and Zn and Ni, has a moderately low impact on Cu and has the least impact on As, Cr and Cd. Depending on the hydrothermal treatment method, removal of heavy metals by EDTA may be higher or lower in comparison to sediment washing alone.…”

Using Sequenom to identify KRAS mutations in an Asian cohort of ovarian mucinous cancer by Tiong, Wen Ning

“…KRAS mutations have been observed to occur in relatively high frequencies of 50-60% in mEOC but not in other subtypes of EOC in at least three clinical studies. To determine the frequency of KRAS mutations in an Asian cohort of mEOC, a pilot study of 26 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) mEOC samples obtained from Kandang Kerbau Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) was conducted using Sequenom MassArray. …”
