Developing a web app in conjunction with a honey dehydrator by Sim, Yang Kai

“…Studies have shown that the typical moisture content of honey ranges from 21 to 28%, an undesirable range for long periods of storage considering the fact that honey with moisture content above 17% contributes to the fermentation of honey[1]. In order to prevent the degradation of honey quality, dehydrating honey as a means to reduce moisture content should be considered. …”

Rheology of liquid formulations and searching for eco-friendly thickeners by Soh, Wendy Yun Zheng

“…The report also discusses traditional and common thickener ingredients used in shampoo formulations, ways to source alternative ingredients using life cycle assessment and feasibility tests, and methods to produce more sustainable ingredients, such as bio-fermentation. Sustainable alternative ingredients to current thickeners will be listed, such as chitosan, cellulose, carrageenan, hyaluronic acid, and alginate.…”

Naturalistic multimodal emotion data with deep learning can advance the theoretical understanding of emotion by Angkasirisan, T

“…Emotions are diversely conceptualised as innate responses (evolutionary view), mental constructs (constructivist view), cognitive evaluations (appraisal view), or self-organising states (dynamical systems view). This enduring fragmentation likely stems from the limitations of traditional research methods, which often adopt narrow methodological approaches. …”

Primate resting postures : an adaptation to mammalian herbivory? by Chua, Physilia Ying Shi.

“…The functional separation of different particle sizes in the gut of an herbivorous primate is important, as faster excretion of large particles reduces the intake-limitation posed by the long microbial fermentation of plant. This separation functions only along a gravity gradient, therefore, a primate’s resting postures may affect the efficiency of its digestive strategy. …”

“…Its findings speak to an anthropological understanding of the conditions and possibilities for being European and belonging to Europe, where Europeanness emerges as an assertion of systemic integration in a turbulent geopolitical context marked by overlapping crises and enduring fragmentation.</p>…”

Resettlement of Northern Muslims: A Challenge for Sustainable Post-War Development and Reconciliation in Sri Lanka by Yusoff, Mohammad Agus, Sarjoon, Athambawa, Mohd. Zain, Zawiyah

“…In addition, the issue of resettling northern Muslims became highly contested due to lack of proper policies and plans of the government authorities, as well as moral and institutional support from the Tamil community and their polity, opposition, and criticisms from the Sinhalese-Buddhist nationalist forces, and fragmentation within Muslim politics, together with the protracted nature of the displacement. …”

Political market imperfections and the political incentives for the provision of social services : a case study of two states in India by Taisha Grace Antony

“…The three independent factors or imperfections in the political market that have been identified to have the potential for affecting electoral accountability are the degree of information available to voters, the dynamics of political competition, and the extent of ethnic fragmentation in a state. Using macroeconomic data from 1961 to 20 I I, this thesis undertakes a case study on two states in India - Kerala and Uttar Pradesh- to demonstrate that a state with better informed voters, political competition among two credible political parties, as well as voters who are less ethnically fragmented on policy issues, is likely to be more efficient in its public expenditure policies than a state made up of relatively uninformed voters, non-credible political competition among multiple parties, and a highly ethnically divided population . …”
