Shi'ism, politics, and identity in Bahrain by Tan, Feng Qin

“…A 'naive' view of identity sees it as straightforwardly and deterministically causative, but if so the 2011 Pearl Uprising in Bahrain appears a paradox - a primarily secular episode of political contestation in a country with a Shi'a majority, against a Sunni dominated regime, in a political realm with a Shi'a Islamist-dominated opposition. …”

An investigation on the role of tarsal flexibility in insect walking by Tjuatja, Johan

“…Although there is a wealth of literature on various physical properties of insect leg, such as strength and inner structure, there seems to be a lack of knowledge on the functions or roles of the individual leg segments, such as the tarsus. While the tarsus has been long known to be flexible, there has currently been no study that explains what the purpose of this flexibility is in insect leg. …”

A computational study of spin glasses and its spin coupling interactions by Wong, Yi Ren

“…These models may be differentiated from one another by the critical temperature and critical exponents measured or calculated from experiments and simulations which give rise to different universality classes in different regimes. We will explore in this thesis the critical phenomena of two separate new SG models − The Spin Glass Cellular Automata (SGCA) model and the Heterogeneous Spin Glass (HSG) model while reviewing other known SG models studied in literature. …”
