Processing and early age properties of 3D printed sustainable concrete by Ho, Garrick Sze Jian

“…Rheology properties such as static yield stress (SYS), dynamic yield stress (DYS), viscosity and thixotropic properties are obtained using 3ITT, step-down protocols along with the Bingham model. Design mixes with low DYS and high SYS are labelled to be optimum mixes those properties are preferred in 3DCP. …”

The eagle and the panda : an owl's view from Southeast Asia by Desker, Barry

“…The United States' rebalancing to Asia, initially depicted as a "pivot" to the Pacific, is less a swing away from the Middle East and West Asia than a shift of U.S. focus to East Asia, following the winding down of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As noted by Singapore's ambassador-at-large Chan Heng Chee, "the U.S. is unlikely to turn its back to problems in the Middle East or on West Asia. …”

Passive thermal control design methods, analysis, comparison, and evaluation for micro and nanosatellites carrying infrared imager by Selvadurai, Shanmugasundaram, Chandran, Amal, Valentini, David, Lamprecht, Bret

“…This work numerically studies the performance of some of the passive thermal control techniques such as thermal straps, surface coatings, multi-layer insulation (MLI), and radiators for a 6U small satellite configuration carrying a mid-wave infrared (MWIR) payload whose temperature needs to be cooled down to 100K. Infrared (IR) imagers require low temperature, and the level of cooling is entirely dependent on the infrared wavelengths. …”
