Thesis Title: The relationship between achievement in second language acquisition and parental involvement: A case
study of multilingual primary school learners in Sabah studying Mandarin.
The project considers learning Mandarin Chinese as a second or additional language by non-Chinese children and
investigates parental involvement in relation to their academic achievement. The aim is to identify pedagogical
strategies non-Chinese speaking parents used to support their children through interactions in the home context.
This mixed method research collected data in five phases from 11 Chinese vernacular schools in Kota Kinabalu,
Sabah. The study identifies usable strategies parents and teachers can adopt to support children in their process
of learning Mandarin Chinese. Findings of this project add knowledge to the fields of multilingualism and applied
linguistics.
Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus | Graduation Ceremony Program | October 2018 21Swinburne Research Steven Wong Tung Yew Thesis Title: Behaviour of Piles Subject to Detrimental Tidal-induced Riverbank Soil Movements Geotechnical centrifuge model tests have been carried out to investigate the effects of tidal fluctuation induced detrimental soil movements on the free-headed single pile as well as capped-head pile groups. PIV, an image processing technique has also been employed to measure the soil movement profiles during the tests. A new analytical approach has been established so that the remedial costs for the potential damages to riverine infrastructure can be minimised and public safety will be safeguarded. Yeu Yee Lee Thesis Title: An investigation and enhancement of thermal performance in a heat pipe and its thermal modeling application The fundamentals of evaporation and condensation in porous media as they happen in heat pipes were studied. Extensive experimental investigations and physical modelling of evaporation from porous media were carried out. An analytical solution for film condensation was developed by taking into consideration the two-phase zone at the border between the liquid and gaseous zones. Methods were presented for determinations of the effective thermal conductivities and the film thickness during film condensation from experimental data. The findings can be used in areas with the phase transition in porous media, such as geothermal energy, drying technology, and nuclear energy. 22 Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus | Graduation Ceremony Program | October 2018
