Chinese literary works translated into Baba Malay: a bibliographical study
No full textAnalyses 68 unique titles of Baba translated works published between 1889 and 1950. The titles are held in the libraries of the University of Malaya (UM), Science University Malaysia (USM), National University of Malaysia (UKM), the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP), National University of Singapore (NUS), National Library of Singapore (NLS) and the British Library (BL). The results reveal three periods of active publication of Baba translated works. A total of 18 works were translated before World War I, followed by 10 just after the war, 39 titles were published before the break of the World War II and 1 was identified in 1950. There were 103 persons involved in the 68 translated works, some of whom are responsible for more than one title. The most prominent translators were Chan Kim Boon, Wan Boon Seng, Seow Chin San and Lee Seng Poh. Some of the translators were also be editors, illustrators or editors. There were 31 publishers and 21 printing presses involved, all were located in Singapore. The most active publishers were Wan Boon Seng, Kim Seck Chy Press and Nanyang Romanised Malay Book Co. The translated works mainly cover historical classical Chinese stories, chivalrous stories, romances, folklore and legends. The titles were priced between 10 cents to 2 dollars in Straits currency. The University of Malaya Library held the largest number of unique title (62) out of which 15 were unique titles

Update on the use of cardiac markers in the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome
No full textAbstractAccurate identification of the cause of chest pain is a challenge to the emergency physician because a significant proportion of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) present atypically. Cardiac troponins are the most sensitive and specific biochemical markers of myocardial damage, and are an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of ACS. High-sensitivity troponins (hsTn) have been introduced in recent years, and have been shown to have increased accuracy in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), both at presentation and upon early onset of chest pain. A combination of hsTn readings at presentation and at either 2 hours or 3 hours after the onset of symptoms increases the sensitivity of diagnosing AMI as compared to at presentation alone, and this combination may negate the need for other cardiac markers. The absolute change in hsTn 2 hours after presentation was also found to be useful in the diagnosis of AMI, but not the relative change. However, hsTn has lower specificity in comparison with traditional troponin, and its levels may be elevated even in certain non-ACS settings. The interpretation of troponin values in patients with chronic renal failure must also be done with caution, as their baseline may be elevated, even in the absence of an acute event. Given these pitfalls, the assessment of ACS must still be global, comprising clinical history, electrocardiogram changes, troponin increase, and/or a new wall-motion abnormality on echocardiogram or nuclear scan showing new loss of viable myocardium. High-sensitivity troponin also has a potential use in prognosticating atherosclerotic disease in chronic renal patients as well as population screening of cardiovascular risk factors, although these uses have not been well studied. Identification of patients with unstable angina without myocardial infarction also remains a challenge, as the sensitivity of cardiac troponin in this area remains moderate to low. However, new cardiac markers such as copeptin, ischemia-modified albumin, and heart-type acid binding protein, are still being studied and provide a window of hope in the diagnosis of unstable angina
Lime and marine clay as construction and land reclamation materials
No full textWith the announcement of the White Paper in early January this year, Singapore's population is projected to reach 6.9 million by year 2030 (Population.sg, 2013). Therefore, more reclamation and infrastructure development projects are required to cater for the increase in population. Singapore requires large quantity of sand to drive her booming construction industry as well as the long-standing land reclamation programme. Singapore's land area has grown to about 710 square kilometres from 580 square kilometres in the 1960s according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
The construction and land reclamation projects have increased the demand of sand and its cost has risen considerably throughout the years. It has been reported that the government agency JTC purchases sea sand from intermediary companies at US $26 per tonne, averaging on advertisements from Cambodian sand which was posted on the Alibaba global trade website. To meet demand, Singapore has to look for other alternatives. According to the minister of development Mr. Lim Swee Say Speech on 26 July 2002, large amount of soft marine clay is being excavated at construction sites every year. In his speech, he mentioned that Singapore can expect some 3 million cubic meters of marine clay to be excavated from various road and MRT construction projects (NEA). Therefore, this project aims to study the feasibility of using marine clay treated with lime to substitute fine aggregates in building and land reclamation materials.Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental Engineering
