Abstract:
... Ischaliidae (Tenebrionoidea) is a small, relatively poorly known family of beetles, with fewer than 50 described species. The Coleoptera collections of the Natural History Museum, London are among the largest and most comprehensive in the world, but the Ischaliidae holding is relatively small (136 specimens, 18 species). However, this collection is of great historical and taxonomic importance, sin ...

Abstract:
... Delineating soil/rock interface is critical for geotechnical and tunnel site investigations in engineering geology. In Singapore, we also need to draw attention to local faults and fractured rock zones because the regional geology of Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore contains some minor, steep and brittle faults propagating at some areas in the island city. In addition to drilling boreholes, seism ...
