Integration of social networks and recommendation of social activities (I) by Nai, Chiau Kwang

“…Through our project, users are able to look for social data more efficiently through easy navigation of user interfaces, thus wasting less time on less important social data. Through personalized recommendations of social data, users are also prevented from network overload. [1] Although the project has achieved its aim in increasing social data efficiency, it can be further improved by increasing the options of SNSs that can be integrated in the future.…”

Design analysis of adhesively bonded structures by Wong, Ee-Hua, Liu, Johan

“…Analysis of these concise solutions have yielded insightful design guidelines: (i) the magnitude of peeling stress is generally higher than that of shearing stress; (ii) the peeling stress in a balanced structure may be reduced most effectively by reducing the elastic modulus of the adherends or by increasing the adhesive-to-adherend thickness ratio and less effectively by reducing the elastic modulus of the adhesive; and (iii) the peeling stress in an unbalanced structure may be reduced by increasing the in-plane compliance of the structure, which may be implemented most effectively by reducing the thicknesses of the adherends and less effectively by reducing the elastic modulus of the adherends.…”
