Use of co-cultivation method to stimulate the production of antimicrobial natural products from mangrove microorganisms by Tan, Jin Wei

“…Cryptic gene clusters from actinomycetes are suspected to harbor potential in producing bioactive products, and in this study, co-cultivation is utilized to stimulate these cryptic gene clusters in novel antibiotics production. 10 actinomycete strains isolated from Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve were co-cultured with Mycobacterium Abscessus and Asperigillus Westerdijikiae in two liquid mediums, Glucose-Yeast extract-Malt extract (GYM) and Minimum Media (MM). Their culture extracts were screened for antibacterial activity using filter-disc assay. …”

A structural interpretation of the aftershock "cloud" of the 1992 Mw 7.3 Landers earthquake by Liu, Jing, Sieh, Kerry, Hauksson, Egill

“…The intensity of damage decreases away from the principal faults. Less than half of the aftershocks occurred within 1 km of the mainshock planes, and perhaps only 5% of the aftershocks are candidates for rerupture of the mainshock faults. …”

Mathematical modelling of water filtration by Tan, Cindy Xin Yu

“…Saline water can be desalinized with the use of reverse osmosis, wherein a mixture of water and dissolved salt molecules is forced by a high pressure pump through a semi-permeable membrane, preventing the bigger salt molecules from getting through the holes of the membrane but allowing the tinier water molecules to do so. …”

Scan implementation and toggle coverage estimation for voice subsystem by Mohan, Vivek

“…Thus, Stress test performed at the time of burn-in involves toggle fault model. Toggle fault coverage provides a quick way to determine the extent of control over circuit nodes by driving them to logical 0 or 1 voltage, with less overhead compared to stuck-at model. …”

Dynamic Weakening by Acoustic Fluidization during Stick-Slip Motion by Giacco, F., Saggese, L., de Arcangelis, L., Lippiello, E., Pica Ciamarra, Massimo

“…Here we validate this mechanism via the numerical investigation of a granular fault model system. We find that the stick-slip dynamics is affected only by perturbations applied at a characteristic frequency corresponding to oscillations normal to the fault, leading to gradual dynamical weakening as failure is approaching. …”

Experimental investigation on the performance of binary carbon-based nano-enhanced inorganic phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications by Rajamony, Reji Kumar, Johnny Koh, Siaw Paw, Pasupuleti, Jagadeesh, Pandey, A. K., Chong, Tak Yaw, Sieh, Kiong Tiong, Yusaf, Talal, Mahendran, Samykano, Sofiah, A. G. N., Laghari, Imtiaz Ali, Ahmed, Oday A., K., Kadirgama

“…The binary nanoparticle-enhanced nanocomposites can form a decent thermal network, resulting in a remarkable enhancement in thermal conductivity by 160 % (1.2 W/mK) compared to pure salt hydrate. Moreover, a remarkable improvement in optical absorptance and a reduction in optical transmittance by 82.55 % for 0.7 wt% graphene and 0.07 wt% MWCNT enhanced salt hydrate PCM (SAHGrM-0.07) than pure salt hydrate PCM. …”

Co-seismic ruptures of the 12 May 2008, Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan : East–west crustal shortening on oblique, parallel thrusts along the eastern edge of Tibet by Liu-Zeng, J., Zhang, Z., Wen, L., Sun, J., Xing, X., Hu, G., Xu, Q., Zeng, L., Ding, L., Ji, C., Hudnut, K. W., van der Woerd, J., Tapponnier, Paul

“…Field investigation shows clear surface breaks along two of the main branches of the NE-trending Longmen Shan thrust fault system. The principal rupture, on the NW-dipping Beichuan fault, displays nearly equal amounts of thrust and right-lateral slip. …”

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. …”
