Enrichment of SWNT species with chemical approaches and mechanism investigation by Pan, Xiaoyong

“…A series of pyrene derivatives were synthesized and their separation effects on SWNTs based on the electronic properties and diameters have been demonstrated. To overcome the problem enforced by the poor dispersion with the amide-functionalized pyrene derivatives, a series of Polymethacrylates with pendant aromatic functional groups were investigated for their selectivity in SWNTs separation. …”

Compact x-ray source based on burst-mode inverse Compton scattering at 100 kHz by Bessuille, J., Brown, P., Carbajo, S., Dolgashev, Valery A., Lin, H., Murari, K., Resta, G., Tantawi, S., Zapata, L. E., Graves, William S., Hong, Kyung-Han, Ihloff, Ernest E., Khaykovich, Boris, Nanni, Emilio Alessandro, Kaertner, Franz X., Moncton, David E.

“…At a photon energy of 12.4 keV, the predicted x-ray flux is 5×10[superscript 11]  photons/second in a 5% bandwidth and the brilliance is 2 × 10[superscript 12]  photons/(sec mm[superscript 2] mrad[superscript 2]  0.1%) in pulses with rms pulse length of 490 fs. The nominal electron beam parameters are 18 MeV kinetic energy, 10 microamp average current, 0.5 microsecond macropulse length, resulting in average electron beam power of 180 W. …”

Combating Household Bankruptcy: Developing a New Integrated Financial Education Model for Malaysian (S/O 13585) by Sawandi, Norfaiezah, Abu Bakar, Abu Sufian, Shaari, Hasnah, Amran, Noor Afza, Saad, Ram Al Jaffri

“…The incidents of bankruptcy amongst Malaysian can contribute to a financially distress situation amongst those involved which in the long term may affect, to a great extent, the economic stability particularly at the micro level. While there have been efforts undertaken by the government agencies and non-governmental organisation (NGOs) to curb these problems, recent evidence indicates that urgent action are needed to address the problems in the long term in which financial education has been seen as one of the vital means in order to equip people with appropriate financial knowledge that can help them to develop good financial/debt management. …”

Automated Engineering Design for Reusable Concrete Building Structures by Wongsittikan, Pitipat

“…The Pixelframe structural system [1] was proposed to facilitate the reusability of concrete components by implementing the existing external post-tensioning system in bridge structures and fiber reinforced system to design building beams and columns. This work presents an automated engineering design workflow for Pixelframe, including a engineering mechanics of the system that conforms to ACI 318- 19 [2] and fib Model Code 2010 [3], half-scale tests to verify the preliminary behavior of the system, and a scalable design algorithm for minimum embodied carbon designs. …”
