Biopolymeric fibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering. by Chen, Jasmine Shuwen.

“…Different polymer blend ratios of Pullulan and Dextran, syringe tip to collector distances, flow rates, applied voltages, polymer concentrations, types of solvent, solvent concentration and crosslinker concentrations were investigated with the aim of producing uniform fiber diameters and good spin ability. The image analysis by scanning electron microscopy and image analysis software Image J, show that fibers could be successfully electrospun into the nanometer region of 200-500nm. …”

Azadihomocorannulene as a heptagon-embedded diradicaloid by Hamamoto, Yosuke, Wang, Weifan, Li, Yongxin, Ito, Shingo

“…The synthesis was achieved through a mechanochemical C(sp2)-H/C(sp3)-H coupling in the presence of sodium as a key reaction. Electron spin resonance studies revealed that the neutral azapentabenzodihomocorannulene adopts a singlet diradical (diradicaloid) ground state with a small singlet-triplet energy gap of 2.1 kcal/mol. …”

Investigation on the braking characteristics of tractor-trailer on jackknifing by Gan, Zhilong

“…The results show that when the wheels remains in rolling motion, the brake input needs to be sufficient enough so as to inhibit the translational motion of the vehicle as well as work against the trailer swing motion or tractor spin-out. On the other hand, when the wheels are in sliding motion, the effective braking force exerted on the wheels is reduced and therefore increases the chance of jackknifing again. …”
