View ArticleThe pharmaceutical industry and natural products: historical status and new...
Owing to the high diversity of terrestrial and marine organisms, natural products (secondary metabolites) are some of the most successful source of drug leads for the treatment of many diseases and...
View ArticleWine bottle colour and oxidative spoilage: whole bottle light exposure...
Exposure of a Chardonnay wine to light from a mercury vapour lamp under controlled temperature conditions showed that colour enhancement was dependent on bottle colour. The increase in colouration was...

Every major shopping mall in Singapore is pervaded by atmospheres designed to attract consumers, but recent innovations in the production of atmosphere at ION Orchard make it a key site for the...
View ArticleBoiling lines and lightning sketches: process and the animated drawing
Animation has often involved some degree of drawing, but 'boiling' and animated sketching are two unique forms of drawn animation that overtly foreground the process of drawing. In this article, the...
View ArticleIron(III) tartrate as a potential precursor of light-induced oxidative...
The potential for iron(III) tartrate to act as a photoactivator in light-induced oxidative degradation of white wine is described. Using a tartaric-acid-based model wine system containing 5 mg/L iron,...
View ArticleDeferred decentralized movement pattern mining for geosensor networks
This article presents an algorithm for decentralized (in-network) data mining of the movement pattern flock among mobile geosensor nodes. The algorithm DDIG (Deferred Decentralized Information Grazing)...
View ArticleThe role of light, temperature and wine bottle colour on pigment enhancement...
Pigmentation enhancement in a Chardonnay wine with high flavan-3-ol concentration was examined by irradiating the wine under controlled conditions. Heating the wine in darkness required temperatures in...

Like other service institutes, developing and managing quality service is a challenging issue in retail banks. Recent studies established that retail banks' customer satisfaction can be managed with a...
View ArticleDecentralized querying of topological relations between regions monitored by...
Geosensor networks present unique resource constraints to spatial computation, including limited battery power, communication constraints, and frequently a lack of coordinate positioning systems. As a...
View Article(In Press) Determining the optimum exposure and recovery periods for...
In recent years, mass based transducers such as quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) have gained huge interest as potential sensors for online detection of elemental mercury (Hg0) vapor from anthropogenic...
View ArticleUnlocking the black box of the conceptual relationship between HRM system and...
Despite the promising relationship that has been reported between HRM and Organization Performance (OP) in the last two decades, it is found that good HRM system and practices do not directly lead to...

We introduce a new dynamic statistical optimization algorithm to initialize ionosphere-corrected bending angles of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based radio occultation (RO) measurements....
View ArticleUnderstanding survival sex: young Women, homelessness and intimate relationships
This article seeks to explore gendered experiences of homelessness through an examination of survival sex. Survival sex is usually understood to be the exchange of sex for material support, however,...
View ArticleAll optical polarization-insensitive light tuning properties in sliver...
Active plasmonics has been an interesting and important topic recently. Here we demonstrate the all-optical, polarization-insensitive tunable manipulation of a hybrid system that integrates a silver...
View ArticleHolographic detection of the orbital angular momentum of light with plasmonic...
Metallic components such as plasmonic gratings and plasmonic lenses are routinely used to convert free-space beams into propagating surface plasmon polaritons and vice versa. This generation of...
View ArticleNanostructured holograms for broadband manipulation of vector beams
We report a new type of holographic interface, which is able to manipulate the three fundamental properties of light (phase, amplitude, and polarization) over a broad wavelength range. The design...
View ArticleEnhancing synchronizability of diffusively coupled dynamical networks: A survey
In this paper, we review the literature on enhancing synchronizability of diffusively coupled dynamical networks with identical nodes. The last decade has witnessed intensive investigations on the...
