Complex coacervates loaded with nano enzymes as microreactor by Ng, Si Yi

“…Complex coacervates are predominantly driven by electrostatic forces and entropic changes and are affected by numerous parameters such as pH, mixing ratio and salt concentration. In this study, we aim to derive the optimum conditions for the complex coacervates of the Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC; IUPAC name, is a 1-hexadecylpyridinium chloride) and Carboxymethyl-dextran sodium salt (Dextran sodium salt, DSS), focusing on the optimum pH, mixing ratio and salt concentration. …”

Diverse routing in networks with shared risk link groups by Low, Kheng Keong.

“…Survivability is the capability of a network in maintaining continuous service in the presence of faults within the network. Survivable routing of a connection typically involves the computations of a working path and its backups, such that when faults occur in the working path, the connection could be rerouted to backup solutions and hence not be seriously affected or interrupted. …”

In-vitro compatibility evaluation of fungal mixed culture for bioconversion of domestic wastewater sludge by Molla, Abul Hossain, Fakhru'l‐Razi, Ahmadun, Abd‐Aziz, Suraini, Hanafi, Mohamed Musa, Alam, Md. Zahangir

“…Two different fungi were grown in the same petri dish 4 cm apart in two culture media, potato dextrose agar (PDA) and malt extract agar (MEA). Fifteen different in-vitro interactions were studied and summarized according to five possible outcomes, i.e., mutual intermingling, partial mutual intermingling, inhibition at contact point, inhibition at a distance and replacement. …”

Lateral offsets and revised dates of large prehistoric earthquakes at Pallett creek, Southern California by Sieh, Kerry

“…Recent excavation and new radiocarbon dates of sediments at Pallett Creek are the basis for new conclusionsr egarding the late Holocene history of the San Andreas fault. Systematicd issectiono f a 50-m-long, 15-m-wide, 5-m-deep volume of earth, centered on the fault, enables documentation in three dimensions of fault patterns, lateral offsets, and vertical deformation associated with large earthquakes of the past. …”

Clustering-based solutions for energy efficiency, adaptability and resilience in IoT networks by Shivaraman, Nitin

“…While the literature on time synchronization addresses energy efficiency and adaptability partially, none of the solutions provide resilience to faults. Therefore, we design a novel time synchronization solution C-sync, that is fault-resilient and adaptable while maintaining microsecond (μs) accuracy. …”

Information pollution and the war in Gaza: implications for Singapore by Wong, Yasmine, Haciyakupoglu, Gulizar

“…Besides demonstrating various disinformation types and tactics, there is also the increased resonance of certain disinformation narratives as they overlap and impact on societal sensitivities and identity-based fault lines. These are challenges for Singapore, as societal fault lines present vulnerabilities for disinformation penetration, ultimately affecting social cohesion.…”
