Bacterial biofilm colonization and succession in tropical marine waters are similar across different types of stone materials used in seawall construction by Summers, Stephen, Pek, Y. Shona, Vinod, Deepthi P., McDougald, Diane, Todd, Peter A., Birch, William R., Rice, Scott A.

“…Metagenomic assessment of marine microbial communities indicated no significant impact of material on microbial diversity, irrespective of the diverse surface chemistry and topography. Based on KEGG pathway analysis, surface properties appeared to influence the community composition and function during the initial stages of biofilm development, but this effect disappeared by Day 31. …”

Cogency of Suggestion System in Managing Innovation: Reducing Progressive Die Change Over Time in Auto Stamping Operations by Baluch, Nazim Hussain, Mohtar, Shahimi, Nordin, Norani

“…The global financial crisis had dramatic impact on auto manufacturing worldwide; however, these were felt uniquely severely in North America, largely because of its asymmetric position within the geography of automotive globalization. To cope with the financial volatilities, Beta industries, a metal stamping division of Magana International, turned to ‘process innovation’ for improving effectiveness of their stamping operations; process innovation pertains to finding better or more efficient ways of producing existing products, or delivering existing services. …”

Platelet activation studies on polymeric surfaces by Suzliana Sulaimi

“…Platelet activation effects varies with the nature of topography, in this case, pillars are studied. A series of immunofluorescence staining of platelets was performed to get the optimized parameters; which are 1 wash before stain as shown by the higher intensity and minimal presence of debris as compared to 2 and 0 wash at dilution factors of 1:1 and 4:1 for CD 62P and PAC-1 respectively as the intensity shift between the negative and positive control samples were more significant. …”
