An Integrated Approach for Techno-Economic and Environmental Analysis of Power Generation from Pineapple Waste (S/O: 14486) by Omar, Salmah, Mohd Shafie, Shafini, Hami, Norsiah, Othman, Zakirah, Numan, Hariths, Nurwandi, Luthfi, Bachtiar, Iyan

“…The study's findings found that pineapple waste had a high potential for energy production, with 9857.6 tonnes of pineapple waste generating 9,918,177.4 kWh of electricity. The life cycle assessment of pineapple waste for power generation of three stages (plantation stages, milling stages and lorry transportation) contributes to five types of environmental impacts: global warming potential (including and excluding biogenic CO2), particulate matter impact, ionizing radiation impact, ozone depletion potential impact (steady-state), ecotoxicity impact (freshwater), and human toxicity impact (cancer effect). …”

Translating local science fiction as social critique : a case study of Auspicium Melioris Aevi by Lee, Ying Jing

“…Translating local sci-fi from English to Chinese is thus an important pathway to promote Chinese sci-fi writing locally; and with the example of Japan and China developing unique cultural styles in SF writing, promotes the creation of a Singapore SF genre relevant to local contexts and social concerns. Using J.Y Yang’s short story Auspicium Melioris Aevi as a case study, the function of sci-fi as a speculative socio-political critique is analysed, and corresponding translation theories to emphasise the nature and significance of sci-fi is discussed. …”

Precision holography and supersymmetric theories on curved spaces by Genolini, P

“…<p>The formulation of rigid supersymmetric field theories on curved space leads to a number of results on their strongly-interacting regime, crucial from both the mathematical and physical point of view, starting from Witten’s topological twist of four-dimensional Yang–Mills theory. At the same time, strongly-coupled field theories may also be studied holographically via the AdS/CFT correspondence. …”

Hybrid mesoporous microbeads based on sheets-like sulfur-doped copper oxide embedded in calcium alginate-derived carbon for batch and columnar adsorption of cationic dye by Naggar, Ahmed H., Alshammari, Mutairah S., Seaf-Elnasr, Tarek A., Chong, Kwok Feng, Bakr, Zinab H., Alotaibi, N.

Temporal pressure enhanced topical drug delivery through micropore formation by Lio, Daniel Chin Shiuan, Chia, Ruining, Kwek, Milton Sheng Yi, Wiraja, Christian, Madden, Leigh Edward, Chang, Hao, S. Mohideen Abdul Khadir, Wang, Xiaomeng, Becker, David Lawrence, Xu, Chenjie

“…The creation of micropores (~3 μm2) on the epidermal layer through a temporal pressure treatment results in the elevated expression of gap junctions, and reduced expression of occludin tight junctions. A 1 min treatment of 0.28-MPa allows nanoparticles (up to 500 nm) and macromolecules (up to 20 kDa) to reach a depth of 430-μm into the dermal layer. …”
