Learning stock market dynamics using the kinetic ising model by Nguyen, Ai Linh

“…We fitted the stock returns of 30 Dow Jones companies in 2014 from Yahoo finance, and also to 16 artificial data sets generated using the kinetic Ising model resulting in 32 final average weights matrices, to understand the limitations of using the fitted model to do predictions. We find that when we perform static forecasting, i.e. one-step ahead only, the prediction accuracy can as high as 77.60% for a Dow Jones stock and 98.49% for an artificial data.…”

Yes means yes : the sufficiency of consent as a justification for the moral acceptability of voluntary prostitution by Ang, Sherin Yue Quin

“…The moral acceptability of prostitution remains a polarizing debate in feminist philosophy and sexual ethics, with many philosophers perceiving it to be morally unacceptable even when voluntary. However, most existing discussions concentrate on prostitution under coercion and trafficking, and have yet to address the notion of consent in relation to prostitution that is performed voluntarily. …”

The potential impact of the Singapore-Malaysia high speed rail operation on the passenger demand for the low-cost carriers by Ong, Tuan Hock

“…The aim of this paper is to forecast the passenger demand and market share of the Low-Cost Carriers (LCC) when the High-Speed Rail (HSR) commence operation in 2026 along the 350 km long Kuala Lumpur-Singapore (KL-SG) route with the possibility that the two-different transport mode will complement with each other. …”

Optimization of solubility of corannulene polymers via ring opening metathesis polymerization by Gunasegaran, Kevitrra

“…Based on the findings, it can be deduced that corannulene- undecane-substituted norbornene copolymer has the highest solubility at 1:9 via G3-catalyzed block polymerization, whereby the polymerization process only proceeds when the corannulene monomer is blocked first. Generally, block polymerization product has better solubility compared to random polymerization. …”

A lingering hint of exoticism : postcolonialism and the shifting 20th century tourism representations of Singapore, 1900-1980s by Ng, Chen Eng

“…It also argues that while some continuity in colonial themes can still be observed even when the danger of alienation has passed, these themes were gradually being altered and blended with other elements, such as modernity, to form part of Singapore’s national identity. …”

Reverse emulsion polymerization : study of variables’ effects on nanogel synthesis and behaviour by Ho, Cheng En

“…Based on the results, it was observed that nanogel formed using ammonium persulfate (APS) as initiator have a smaller unswollenparticle size ranging from 14-60 d.nm than when the initiator 2,2'-Azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) was used, whereas swollen sizes were comparable between the two; this led to higher swelling ratios for APS nanogel. …”

Speaking to Angmohs : intelligibility and identity as motivators for speech accommodation in Singapore by Law, Eliana Yixin

“…This study uses the framework of Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT) to explore how issues of language identity and attitudes influence communicative choices of Singaporean English speakers when conversing with Inner-Circle speakers. Conversations between Singaporeans (n=14) with a British English speaker were compared to their conversations with a Singaporean English speaker, and the recorded conversations were analysed for phonological variation. …”

Interactive E-learning environment for maximum power transfer in RFIC by Ratna

“…This occurs if the load impedance is the complex conjugate of the total source impedance (eg: if the source impedance is (Rs+jXs) ohm, then, the load impedance must be (Rs-jXs) ohm. When the source and load impedance in RFIC are known, an impedance matching is required to be carried out to find a matching network to be added into the circuit. …”

Three-phase elliptical inclusions with internal uniform hydrostatic stress resultants in isotropic laminated plates by Wang, Xu, Zhou, Kun

“…For given material and geometric parameters of the composite system, the two conditions can be interpreted as restrictions on the remote uniform membrane stress resultants and bending moments. When these two conditions are met, the hoop membrane stress resultant and hoop bending moment in the interphase layer are found to be uniform along the entire interphase/inclusion interface.…”

Template-free formation of uniform urchin-like α-FeOOH hollow spheres with superior capability for water treatment by Wang, Bao, Wu, Hao Bin, Yu, Le, Xu, Rong, Lim, Teik-Thye, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…By simply adjusting the amount of glycerol in the reaction system, hierarchical urchin-like α-FeOOH solid spheres or hollow spheres can be obtained. When evaluated for the potential use in water treatment, it is found that the as-obtained uniform urchin-like α-FeOOH hollow spheres exhibit excellent capability for removing both organic dye and heavy metal ions in waste water.…”
