WHISPERS OF THE WIND / by Grace, Jeyna, author 655424

“…From the hazardous trip behind enemy lines to the festive East Asian-esque Meihua; from the kingdom hovering above the clouds to the military-driven Bevattna; from the heterogeneous society of a tunnelled realm to Aithan’s duel with the heir of Tentazoa, every step in his journey uncovers a gem of his past, present, and future. And in one foresight, Aithan learns the daunting fate of Zeruko that recharts his quest and redefines his role as king.…”

New method for automatic generation of patient specific finite element models of the distal femur by Lek, Cheah Wen.

“…Three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) modeling in orthopedics biomechanics has gained considerable interest in the past decades. In biomedical applications, the geometry of the bodies to be meshed is complex and manual generation would be a complex and time-consuming task. …”

An experimental investigation on finite wings with leading-edge protuberances by Teo, Marcus Jun Jie

“…Additionally, analysis of flows over the suction side of the wing will be conducted using Particle Image Velocimetry to determine the nature of flows over a tubercle wing against a baseline wing. Comparisons against past studies will also be conducted. Results have shown an overall similarity between the flow behaviour of the experiment wing and wings of past numerical and experimental studies. …”
