Report on industrial attachment with Land Transport Authority
No full textThe author was involved in several projects namely the North East Line (NEL) Platform Gap Filler, Seng Kang/Punggol Light Rail Transit (SPLRT) Grab Poles, Proposed design for the C651 Trains Platform Gap Filler, Noise Study and C151 Train Temperature Measurement. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed on the NEL Platform Gap Filler and SPLRT Grab Poles. Five loading cases were considered in the analysis of NEL Platform Gap Filler. The maximum stresses of the five cases are within the allowable stress of the Aluminium L-bracket of 169.57 MPa. However, further testing would be desired to achieve a more accurate result. For the FEA of the SPLRT Grab Poles, the maximum stresses on the T-shaped and L-shaped grab poles are 104.2 MPa and 85.217 MPa respectively. Given an allowable stress of 217.39 MPa, both of the grab poles are able to withstand the maximum loading. In addition, the author designed a Platform Gap Filler for the C651 trains. The noise levels of the four locations (Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Clementi and Jurong East) were measured and further investigation of the data collected would be made. Furthermore, temperature measurements of the C151 trains were recorded and they are approximately within the desired train temperature condition except for the journey from Bishan to City Hall Stations. In conclusion, the 22 weeks of Industrial Attachment has allowed the author to better appreciate the job scope of an engineer in the Rolling Stock Division of Land Transport Authority (LTA)
Candy elasticity: Halloween experiments on public political statements
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Wiley via the DOI in this record.We conducted experiments during trick-or-treating on Halloween in a predominantly liberal neighborhood in the weeks preceding the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. We decorated one side of a house porch with McCain material in 2008 (Romney material in 2012) and the other side with Obama material. Children were asked to choose a side, with half receiving the same candy on either side and half receiving more candy to go to the McCain/Romney side. This yields a “candy elasticity” of children's political support. Results vary by age: children ages nine and older were two to three times more likely to choose the Republican candidate when offered double candy for voting Republican compared to when offered equal candy, whereas children ages eight and under were particularly sticky and did not waver in their choice of candidate despite the offer of double candy

“On sugar art”; or why did fifteenth century Italian pharmacists make candy?
No full textThis article looks at the production of candy by late mediaeval Italian pharmacists. The author discusses the roots of candy production and shows its development was connected to the use of medical products based on honey, sugar, spices and fruits. For many centuries such products were treated as medicines and only at the end of the Middle Ages did people start to perceive them as candy. Pharmacists from Italian nations, known as speziari, were central to the process. They had access to a range of spices imported from the Orient, know-how and experience inherited from their ancestors and their own acquired skills. In effect, they started producing candy on the base of existing, sweet medical products. The richest and most helpful source for the study of the candy production is De artificium zuchari, the thirteenth chapter of Lumen apothecariorum, a work by the fifteenth-century Piedmont physicist and pharmacist, Quirico de Augustis
