Perception of a phoneme contrast in Singaporean English-Mandarin bilingual adults: a preregistered study of individual differences by Goh, Hannah Letitia, Styles, Suzy J.

“…Our initial results show a wide range of individual variation in identification of words starting with [tsʰ] and [ʈʂʰ]: One participant shows no systematic differentiation between the two words, while others show steep categorical decision gradients. In accordance with our preregistered analysis plan, the full sample will allow us to evaluate whether bilinguals’ self-reported proficiency in Mandarin predicts their performance on the lexical identification task. …”

Fabrication of composite FO hollow fiber membranes by co-spinning process – preliminary investigation on properties of the support layer by Cwa, Jackson Xing Long

“…It was found that the viscosity of the dope solution increased when the additives were added, and that the additives were observed to have the effect of increasing the polymer concentration needed to reach a point where a steep increase in the viscosity of the dope solution can be observed; the point that suggests significant chain entanglement occurring in the dope solution.…”

Fibre-assisted expansive mortar for high-efficiency rock fracturing by Lee, Elton Zi Zong

“…To determine if the fibre-assisted SCDA is more effective under constrained environment, a further experiment was done on the granite cylinders with fibre-assisted SCDA. By using a steep clamp, the two ends of the borehole were blocked, giving it both top and bottom constrains. …”

Nebular dominated galaxies: insights into the stellar initial mass function at high redshift by Cameron, AJ, Katz, H, Witten, C, Saxena, A, Laporte, N, Bunker, A

“…While Balmer jumps are sometimes observed in low-redshift star-forming galaxies, this galaxy also exhibits a steep turnover in the UV continuum. Such turnovers are typically attributed to absorption by a damped Ly𝛼 system (DLA); however, the shape of the turnover and the high observed Ly𝛼 escape fraction ( 𝑓esc,Ly𝛼 ∼ 27%) is also consistent with strong nebular two-photon continuum emission. …”

Universal resilience patterns in labor markets by Moro, Esteban, Frank, Morgan R., Pentland, Alex, Rutherford, Alex, Cebrian, Manuel, Rahwan, Iyad

“…Further, cities that increase their job connectivity see increasing wage bills, and workers of embedded occupations enjoy higher wages than their peers elsewhere. Finally, we show how job connectivity may clarify the augmenting and deleterious impact of automation in US cities. …”

Magical realism and representations of the cold war in Southeast Asia by Lye, Kit Ying

“…However, while there are acknowledgements by scholars that religious myths and pre-existing animistic beliefs continue to influence the way that the indigenous people understand their worlds, Southeast Asian authors (unlike many of their postcolonial peers), do not actively employ magical realism in their exploration of history and civil unrest in their writings, and when they do, are not employed to the same degree as postcolonial authors in other regions. …”
