A novel low-crosstalk driveline based on spoof surface plasmon polaritons by Zhao, Shumin, Zhang, Hao Chi, Liu, Liangliang, Zhao, Jiahao, Yang, Cheng

“…The new drivelines consist of multiple parallel planar corrugated metallic strips. Thanks to the strong field confinement and localization characteristics of the SSPPs, the coupling effects between drivelines in different channels can be significantly suppressed with no need of any other coupling suppression circuits. …”

Isolation and identification of microbes to convert lignocellulose wastes to reducing sugars by Tan, Michelle Wei Qi.

“…This report served to explain the microbial growth and degradation by the cultivation of microbes, using two different mediums that contained three different substrates (lignocellulose, filter paper strips and carboxymethylcellulose). The processes included conducting experiments such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), optical density (turbidity) and reducing and total sugars. …”
