Blue shift in photoluminescene of semiconductor nanostructures by Khin, San Thit.

“…The bond-order-length-strength (BOLS) correlation indicates that the atomic coordination imperfection causes the remaining bonds of the under-coordinated atom to contract spontaneously associated with bond strength gain and the interatomic trapping potential well depression. This project also involved the study of the entire band structure such as the band gap expansion, core-level shift, Stokes shift (electron-phonon interaction), and dielectric suppression (electron polarization). …”

Investigation of soil-structure interaction for deep excavations by Hensman, P

“…The deep excavation was supported by a complex ’combi-wall’ cofferdam, a reinforced concrete (RC) capping beam, and two levels of internal bracing, and its performance was assessed through measured wall deflections, bracing member loads, and site and bunker water levels. …”

In vitro anti-cancer and antimicrobial effects of manganese oxide nanoparticles synthesized using Glycyrrhiza uralensis leaves extract on breast cancer cell lines by Althobiti, Maryam Musleh, Alzahrani, Badr, Elderdery, Abozer Y., Alzerwi, Nasser A. N., Rayzah, Musaed, Elkhalifa,, Ahmed M. E., Idrees, Bandar, Bakhsh, Ebtisam, Alabdulsalam, Abdulrahim A., Mohamedain, A., Kumar, Suresh S., Mok, Pooi Ling

“…The leaf extract of GU contains bioactive molecules that act as a reducing or capping agent to form Mn2O3 NPs. Various analytical techniques were used to characterize the physiochemical properties of PF-127-coated Mn2O3 NPs, including spectroscopy (ultralight-Vis, Fourier transform infrared, photoluminescence), electron microscopy (field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron diffracted X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), and dynamic light scattering. …”

CFD analysis of flow across adjacent buildings with concave roof structure using large-eddy simulation (LES) by Foo, Tze Jie

“…On top of this application, the concave roof structure also provides a method of trapping onto the water instead of letting the rainwater flow down the roof, which can help reduce the chances of flash floods during heavy monsoon seasons. …”

The effects of dub-off angle on chip evacuation in single-lip deep hole gun drilling by Wan, S., Tnay, Guan Leong, Woon, Keng Soon, Yeo, Swee Hock

“…This is demonstrated through a case study on improving the shoulder dub-off design of commercial gun drills, which have a high tendency in trapping chips at the hole bottom. A more effective design criterion for the shoulder dub-off is thus proposed.…”

Three-dimensional modeling of near-field beam profiles from grating couplers using a deep neural network by Lim, Yu Dian, Tan, Chuan Seng

“…Integrated silicon photonics (SiPh) gratings have been widely studied for the optical addressing of trapped ions. As the formfactor of ion traps reduces, the ion-trapping height decreases, and may unavoidably fall into the reactive near-field region of SiPh gratings. …”

Delocalized Davydov D1 Ansatz for the Holstein polaron by Sun, Jin, Duan, Liwei, Zhao, Yang

“…Unique solutions are obtained with the delocalized D1 for different initial conditions when the transfer integral is 20 times the phonon frequency at the zone center, implying the absence of any self-trapping discontinuity. The scaled correlation variance is found to fit satisfactorily well with the predictions of the perturbation theories.…”
