Fire resistance for square tubular joints with and without chord reinforcement by Yang, J., Shao, Y. B., Cheng, C., Lie, S. T., Chiew, Sing Ping

“…The chord surface around the brace/chord weld toe for a square welded tubular joint is the critical position because failure occurs frequently at this location due to the weak stiffness in the transverse direction of the chord which is generally a thin-walled tube. To improve the load carrying capacity, the chord of a square tubular joint can be strengthened locally near the joint connection. …”

Motion and deformation of a bubble in a Hele-Shaw cell by Wu, K, Booth, DJ, Griffiths, IAN, Nunes, JK, Stone, HA

“…The bubble is then flattened into a pancake-like shape, with an approximately circular profile when viewed from above, and thin liquid films lie between the bubble and the cell walls. Bubble motion and deformation are determined by an interplay between the Hele-Shaw viscous pressure, the pressure drop due to the thin films, and the capillary pressure due to the in-plane curvature of the apparent bubble boundary. …”

Iron- and calcium-based biogrouts for porous soils by Chu, Jian, Ivanov, Volodymyr, Stabnikov, Viktor

“…Therefore, suitable geotechnical applications of the calcium-based and iron-based biogrouts at a precipitated metal content of 1·5% w/w or less would be mainly the bioclogging of porous soils for the sealing of aquaculture or wastewater treatment ponds and landfill sites, and for plugging of the piping in dams and retaining walls in sandy soil.…”

Mathematical modelling of subglacial drainage and erosion by Ng, FSL

“…At steady flow, creep closure of the channel walls is counteracted by melt-back due to heat dissipation, and this leads to an equilibrium relation between channel water pressure and discharge. …”

Synthesis of fluorescent citric acid carbon dots composites derived from empty fruit bunches of palm oil tree and its anti-bacterial property by Pramudita, Rufina, Marpongahtun, Gea, Saharman, Daulay, Amru, Harahap, Mahyuni, Tan, Yong Zen, Goei, Ronn, Tok, Alfred Iing Yoong

“…The growth rate of any bacteria co-cultured with citric acid derived carbon dots (CDs-CA) dropped significantly as the concentration of CDs-CA increased, meaning that as the concentration increases, there are more chances for CDs-CA to stick to bacterial cell walls and have an effect on them. It can effectively stop bacteria from growing. …”

Deciphering the poisoning effect of sulfate on a perovskite-derived IrOxHy catalyst for water oxidation in acid by Seow, Justin Zhu Yeow, Chen,Yubo, Ge, Jingjie, Fisher, Adrian C., Xu, Jason Zhichuan

“…This phenomenon is unique to a reconstructed surface undergoing continuous cation leaching from the perovskite-oxyhydroxide interface, in which SrSO4 precipitate blocks electrolyte-accessible IrOxHy-walled channels, preventing further Sr and Co ion leaching from the interface and dehydrating the isolated portion of the blocked channels, resulting in a reduction in the number of Ir active sites and causing the catalyst to have an OER performance stability inferior to commercial IrO2…”

Probing the toxicity mechanism of multiwalled carbon nanotubes on bacteria by Hartono, Maria Regina, Kushmaro, Ariel, Chen, Xiaodong, Marks, Robert S.

“…Using a field-emission scanning electron microscope, we demonstrated that membrane damage is caused largely by MWCNTs trapping bacteria and piercing the cell walls. As a result of our observations, we propose integrating MWCNTs and bacteria degradation for pollutant removal in nutrient-rich media to minimize the toxicity effect of CNTs.…”
