Enhancement of air-side heat transfer performance of additively manufactured condensers by Chan, Yi Qing

“…To experimentally investigate these structures, samples of 90 mm long, 40 mm wide, and 15 mm high with a 3.5 mm thickness base were fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) technology which is a selective laser melting (SLM) technique. Experiments were conducted on all ten samples using the mini wind tunnel setup with a centralised air compressor in Singapore Centre for 3D Printing (SC3DP). …”

Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…Molten polymer within a holding cup with a tiny orifice below is drawn by a needle and stuck onto a spinning mandrel for collection. As the melt is pulled from the orifice, extensional flow causes the thinning in the melt diameter and the atmosphere cools the melt down into a fiber before it is collected on the mandrel. …”

Analysis of the role played by ligand-induced folding of the cocaine-binding aptamer in the photochrome aptamer switch assay by Shoara, Aron A., Churcher, Zachary R., Steele, Terry W. J., Johnson, Philip E.

“…Fluorescence anisotropy measurements were used to quantify the affinity of the conjugated aptamer to cocaine. We also used thermal melt analysis and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to show that the addition of the stilbene to the aptamer increases the melt temperature of the cocaine-bound structure-switching aptamer by (6.4 ± 0.3) °C compared to the unconjugated aptamer while the free form of the structure-switching aptamer-stilbene conjugate remains unfolded.…”
