中国东北人移民新加坡后的语言变化及其社会意义 = Study of the language changes of Chinese Northeastern immigrants as a socio-linguistic Indicator in Singapore by 李思 Li, Si

“…With the help of the PRAAT phonetic software, the sound on apical consonant, R consonant and final vowel are analysed by their formant shown in PRAAT, tones and first tone syllable are analysed by intensity and pitch respectively. The thesis is also investigated the lexical changes by doing social experiment like “asking the way”. …”

Green Roof Guidelines : Guidelines for the Planning, Construction and Maintenance of Green Roofs / by Landscape Development and Landscaping Research Society e.V. (FLL) 656198, Landscape Development and Landscaping Research Society e.V. (Online service) 656197

“…In a major change compared to the 2008 edition, the topic 'Securing against material displacement on flat and pitched roofs' has been fundamentally revised. For the first time, the different forms of material displacement, such as surface erosion, slippage and exceeding the angle of repose are now considered separately. …”

The sound of metal: amateur brass bands in southern Benin by Hoh, LM

“…Beninese musicians’ experience of fanfare is entangled within (at times contradictory) ideas of the past, imaginings of the outside, emotions in the present, and expectations for the future. Entanglement likewise extends to musical instruments: the multiple valences of materials collide in brass instruments, as do histories, traditions, and feelings.…”

HiPIMS deposition of VO2 thermochromic coating for enhanced optical properties by Vu, Tuan Duc

“…Despite the promising potential, VO2 has not been commercialized due to various technical difficulties which hinder its feasibilities outside of laboratories environment: high transition temperature (τc) of 68oC; low luminous transmission (Tlum) of around 40%; and low solar modulation (ΔTsol) less than 25%. Currently, various methods have been used to fabricate VO2 thin films in attempts to improve its intrinsic properties and improve the efficiency of high quality VO2 thin film fabrication process. …”
