Rheological behaviour of thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystalline phases of Guerbet branched chain glycolipids by Mislan, Azwa Amanina, Foong, J.L. Nigel, Saharin, Siti Munirah, Zahid, Noor Idayu Mat

“…These glycolipids possessed the same number of carbons in their alkyl chain but differed in headgroup size. β-Glc-C10C6 exhibited inverse hexagonal phase (H2) in thermotropic but formed inverse bicontinuous cubic phase (V2) of space group Ia3d and Pn3m upon contact with water at different concentration ranges. …”

Study of hydrochemistry and seawater intrusion of Manukan Island, Sabah by Ahmad Zaharin Aris

“…The results from reactive transport modelling confirmed that the migration of seawater into the fresher parts of the aquifer apparently leads to a calcification of the aquifer despite the seawater being supersaturated for carbonate minerals and shows that the composition of the near coast zone and further landward area may vary and have a significant effect on the processes during the intrusion.…”
