Filter selection for indoor-recirculating fan-coil unit respect to indoor-to-outdoor particle relationships and occupancy influences by Xu, Xiaoqian

“…Occupancy level was recorded on hourly basis, indoor-to-outdoor (I/O) ratio for both of static period and active period were compared by paired sample t-test to check whether the mean values for accumulated PM2.5 (bin1 to bin3) differs by the occupancy. Hence, a filter application effect was also be quantified. …”

High-yield synthesis and optical properties of g-C3N4 by Yuan, Yanwen, Zhang, Lulu, Xing, Jun, Utama, M. Iqbal Bakti, Lu, Xin, Du, Kezhao, Li, Yongmei, Hu, Xiao, Wang, Shijie, Genç, Aziz, Dunin-Borkowski, Rafal, Arbiol, Jordi, Xiong, Qihua

“…Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), a metal-free semiconductor with a band gap of 2.7 eV, has received considerable attention owing to its fascinating photocatalytic performances under visible-light. g-C3N4 exhibits high thermal and chemical stability and non-toxicity such that it has been considered as the most promising photocatalyst for environmental improvement and energy conservation. Hence, it is of great importance to obtain high-quality g-C3N4 and gain a clear understanding of its optical properties. …”

A novel method for segmenting growth of cells in sheared endothelial culture reveals the secretion of an anti-inflammatory mediator by Ghim, Mean, Pang, Kuin T., Arshad, Mehwish, Wang, Xiaomeng, Weinberg, Peter D.

“…Conclusions: The results are consistent with the release of a mediator from cells exposed to high-magnitude uniaxial shear stress that has anti-inflammatory effects on activated endothelium; the mediator may be of importance in atherogenesis. Hence the new methods revealed an important property that would not have been observed without growth segmentation, suggesting that they could find more widespread application.…”

Is clicking mechanism good for flapping wing micro aerial vehicle? by Chin, Yao Wei, Lau, Gih Keong

“…When moved passed the midpoint, it now tends to move to the other extreme, together with the external force, resulting in a fast, snapping ‘click’ to the other extreme. Hence, the clicking prototype showed a sudden high increase in wing flap speed when it is moved beyond midpoint towards the other end. …”

Nuclei sorting-based genome-wide CRISPR screens to identify novel regulators of hepatic insulin signalling by Martin Perez, E

“…The liver is one of the three major tissues that acts in sustaining appropriate blood glucose levels. Hence, hepatic insulin action provides an important layer of regulation in the maintenance of whole-body metabolic homeostasis, and its dysregulation is closely associated with metabolic disease progression. …”

Strain rate, temperature, and their coupled effects on the deformation process of four polycarbonates and a short glass fibre reinforced polycarbonate composite by Song, P

“…For the composite, data show the effect of localised heating on large strain behaviour, in particular causing significant strain localisation and hence weakening of the material. As well as giving a deeper understanding of the material response, the data generated in this study can be used to develop constitutive models over a wide range of temperatures and strain rates.…”

Sustainable management of elasmobranchs in complex coastal fisheries by Gupta, T

“…I demonstrate the value of local-scale studies to inform the design of nuanced interventions targeted at contextual drivers. My DPhil hence contributes to a better understanding of marine sustainability to support more effective conservation action across scales, towards delivering on global biodiversity targets. …”

Multi-species rotational grazing of small ruminants regenerates undergrowth vegetation while controlling weeds in the oil palm silvopastoral system by Tohiran, Kamil Azmi, Nobilly, Frisco, Zulkifli, Raja, Yahya, Muhammad Syafiq, Norhisham, Ahmad Razi, Rasyidi, Md Zainal, Azhar, Badrul

“…The use of single-species livestock grazing is likely to cause oil palm growers to use herbicides to control undesirable weeds. Hence, we concluded managing undergrowth vegetation in oil palm plantations using multi-species livestock grazing is a practical approach, and it should be fine-tuned for example by choosing livestock species based on the targeted objectives and the grazing sequence that will be practiced to regenerate the oil palm silvopastoral system. …”
