FS Super - Building Super Excellence - Cover StoryDarren Snyder
This document summarizes profiles of three superannuation fund executives who won National Achievement Awards in 2015. It discusses their roles and challenges:
1) REST Industry Super CFO Chris Stevens discusses centralizing the fund's data analytics and harnessing data to understand member behaviors and performance.
2) UniSuper COO Steven Leach describes building technical skills to handle transactions while preparing products for regulatory changes like CIPRs.
3) Former Telstra Super CIO Jim Christensen talks about managing investment risk for members by balancing short and long-term opportunities. He advocates age-based investment approaches.
This document discusses fuel cells, including their parts, working principle, types, advantages, disadvantages, and applications. Fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, without combustion. They have higher efficiency than combustion engines and produce only water emissions. However, fuel cells are currently more expensive than batteries. Major applications of fuel cells include powering vehicles, devices, and buildings. Several organizations are working to develop fuel cell technology further.
Building Services - Efficient Energy Ventilation SystemMelvin Lim
The document discusses various ventilation systems used in buildings including passive stack ventilation (PSV), single room heat recovery ventilation (SRHRV), mechanical extract ventilation (MEV), positive input ventilation (PIV), intermittent extract fans with background ventilators, whole house mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), and natural ventilation methods like stack effect. Each system is described in terms of its components, installation process, and potential problems. Benefits of proper ventilation and energy efficient systems include cost savings, improved indoor air quality, increased property value, and reduced environmental impact.
Fuel cells provide a possible solution to issues with battery technologies by efficiently converting chemical energy from hydrogen into electricity. Fuel cells strip electrons from hydrogen molecules to produce electricity and then recombine the electrons and protons to form water. While fuel cells have benefits like higher efficiency and lower emissions than conventional power sources, challenges remain around developing hydrogen infrastructure and bringing down production costs.

Food & Culture Project 1 : Research ProposalPatricia Kong
Food branding refers to creating a name, symbol, or design that identifies and differentiates a food product. The research objective was to study food brand identification in different areas and how surroundings can affect both the food brand and customer behavior. The summary discusses two environments - indoor food stalls located in the huge and clean Integrated Commercial Complex (ICC), and outdoor stalls in crowded and polluted spaces with tight fittings and limited walking room, which can degrade food preparation and taste due to humidity and poor air quality affecting mood.
An A4 bound report which shows a detailed explanation of the integration and calculations of day lighting, artificial lighting and its design intention (PSALI).
