Thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites based on polydopamine-coated clay : preparation, structures and properties by Phua, Si Lei

“…The remarkable improvement can be attributed to the excessive hydrogen bonds between D-clay and the hard segments (hard segments are made of diisocyanate and the short-chain diol) of PU. …”

Study of a dry fixed-vane revolving compressor by Toh, Shaun Jia Hui

“…However, with a dry variant of the RV compressor, there are challenges such as high frictional losses, metal-to-metal bonding as well as material wear. As such there is a need to devise a way to lower these frictional losses and come up with an alternative solution. …”

Signal processing for cooperative cognitive radio networks by Rabiee, Ramtin

“…In recent decades, cognitive radio has been introduced as a practical solution to solve the frequency scarcity problem by setting up a secondary network besides the primary one through a cognitive radio network (CRN) to increase the utilization rate of licensed frequency bands. There exist many parameters to achieve a reliable and practical CRN and it is necessary to conduct extensive signal processing studies to optimize them. …”

Improving the diagnostic yield of whole genome sequencing: neurodevelopmental and epilepsy disorders by Hashim, M

“…</p> <p>In patients with karyotypic abnormalities, short-read WGS data analysis demonstrated an efficacy of ~91% in identifying the breakpoints, leading to the reassignment of breakpoints to neighbouring cytogenetic bands in ~88% of cases. Moreover, the base resolution of WGS revealed complexities cryptic to karyotyping in 7 cases of the apparently balanced translocations. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…When rGO and CNT hybrid were used as reinforcements, the optimum dispersion of rGOs and CNTs, and the strong interface bonding between the nanocarbons and HA matrixes were established in the composites. …”

Properties and mechanism of strain and piezoelectricity of hybrid molecular ferroelectrics by Hu, Yuzhong

“…The crystallography results indicate that this softening effect should originate from strength weakening on hydrogen and Cd-halide (Cd-X) bonds. In Chapter 4, the design strategy and discovery of the colossal shear strain in this OIHF will be presented. …”

Catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to hydrocarbons by Mohan, Ojus

“…However, for rPBE-vdW functional, we found that this is due to the erroneous treatment of C=O double bonds in gas phase CO2. Employing the benchmarked functional, CO2 methanation (46 elementary reactions) and DRM (38 elementary reactions) reactions were studied by combined DFT and MKM. …”

#Hooked? Extending the social cognitive model in examining the antecedents of problematic social network sites use among Singaporean adolescents and adults by Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…The results showed that the integrated model had good fit and received partial support for the hypothesized paths. Bonding and bridging capital, as well as various SNSs motivations (social connection, shared identities, and social investigation), were positively associated with mood alteration; only dependence on SNSs to derive shared identities was positively associated with both preference for online social interaction and mood alteration. …”

Topochemical fluorination of some Ruddlesden-Popper phases by Zhang, R

“…DFT calculations performed on La2SrCr2O7 suggest that this highly distorted A2/a (a^-a^-c^-/a^-a^-c^-) structure is stabilized by energy gains from the charge equalization and the improvement of chromium bonding environments associated with the unusual Sr/La distribution exhibited by this phase (the 12-coordinate A-sites are occupied by 82(2)% La³⁺ and 18(2)% Sr²⁺).…”
