Experimental investigation of impact response of composite plates/panels by Gan, Jia Li

“…Impact-induced cracking and fractured acrylic sandwich plates adhered by araldite epoxy are generated in an instrumented drop- weight impact machine. Damage patterns in the acrylic sheet include radial and ring cracks and, together with slight delamination at the interface, which may cause peeling-off of acrylic material from the sandwich plate. …”

Protein profile in cells exposed to non-thermal radiofrequency-field. by Ng, Shi Qi.

“…In order to examine the effects of non-thermal RF field on human health, 293T human renal epithelial cells is exposed to GSM 900 mobile phone signals for 2 and 5 hours, following which comparison is made between the protein profile of the control and affected culture mapped out by LC/MS. Combined with the results obtained by another student conducting a similar experiment at different exposure duration58, it is found that only Histone H2A and Histone H4 responded to the radiation after 10 minutes, 40 minutes, 2 hours and 5 hours exposure. …”
