Optimization of the thermal performance of building double-skin envelope by Chua, Wei Jin

“…Therefore, to slow down the rise in the mean global temperature, a double-skin roof technology was used to reduce the heat produced by the sun from getting into the building. When less heat gets into the building, thermal comfort can be achieved much easily and also reducing the usage of air-conditioner. …”

Dynamic swimming pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa near a vertical wall during initial attachment stages of biofilm formation by Khong, Nicole Zi-Jia, Zeng, Yukai, Lai, Soak-Kuan, Koh, Cheng-Gee, Liang, Zhao-Xun, Chiam, Keng-Hwee, Li, Hoi-Yeung

“…We found that P. aeruginosa (PAO1) increases its speed and changes its swimming angle drastically when it gets closer to a wall. In contrast, ΔdipA mutant moves toward the wall with steady speed without changing of swimming angle. …”

Multi-scale and multiphase modeling of abrasive flow machining process with experimental validation by Mohamed Adel Abdelhakem Amen

“…The flexibility and nature of the AFM tool introduce considerable complexity to evaluate the abrasion action, its material removal (MR), the particle forces, and the detailed rules controlling this particle-surface interaction. The process gets more complex for irregular shapes to the workpiece surface and the abrasive particle which is the real case. …”

The effects of atmosphere-ocean-wave coupling during tropical cyclone by Garg, Nikhil

“…Within this coupled system, it can be thought that the ocean waves generated at the sea surface are due to the momentum transfer from atmosphere, which subsequently gets transferred to ocean. This transfer of momentum (from atmosphere to ocean) is not a one-way link, i.e., there are feedback effects from ocean (both in terms of enthalpy and momentum) on the atmospheric boundary layer. …”
