Nb and Ta intracrustal differentiation during granulite-facies metamorphism: evidence from geochemical data of natural rocks and thermodynamic modeling by Huang, G, Chen, Y, Guo, J, Palin, R, Zhao, L

“…As biotite preferentially incorporates Nb over Ta, the early stages of biotite dehydration melting produce a high-Nb/Ta residue and a low-Nb/Ta melt; however, geochemical modeling suggests that once biotite is depleted, the Nb/Ta ratio of the system is instead controlled by rutile growth, which promotes the formation of a lower Nb/Ta residue and a higher Nb/ Ta melt, even though the volume of melt produced at this stage may be small. …”

Gene-primer a PCR primer design program by Kok, Wui Lim.

“…In this project, we develop GENE-PRIMER, a genome- specific PCR primer design program that is amenable to a genome-wide scale. To achieve this, we incorporated various parameters with biological significance into our program, namely, primer length, melting temperature of primers ,guanine/cytosine (GC) content of primer, homopolymeric runs in primer and self- hybridization tendency of primer. …”

Flow-through electrochemically assisted reverse-osmosis: a new process towards low-chemical desalination by Long, Wei, Koo, Jing Wee, Yuan, Ziwen, She, Qianhong

“…Caustic soda is used to raise the pH of the first-pass RO permeate (also the second-pass RO feed) to ensure adequate removal of boron in the subsequent second-pass RO, while antiscalants and disinfectants such as hypochlorite are added in the feed seawater for scaling and biofouling control of the first-pass RO membranes. …”

Development of grid-tie home electricity suppy system (GHESS) using solar energy by Tham, Tzen Woo.

“…It is deduced that fossil fuel will be depleted in less than a centry time. in addition, power generation using fossil fuel also creates the emission of greenhouse gases, which contribute to the rising of global average temperature, the melting of iceberg in the arctic and Antarctic, and thus create disastrous thunderstorm and the rapid rising of water sea level. …”

Future oxide-based resistive flash memories by Wu, Wenze.

“…DRAM, the type of memory cell widely used for high density high speed system memory, faces uncertainty in continued scaling for increased density and performance. Amongst emerging alternative technologies, Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM) with its high speed and ability to scale further downwards presents itself as a possible candidate to replace DRAM. …”
