Effects of lateral soil movements on piles by Socheat, Iv.

“…In developed countries like Singapore, where the land is scarce, many tall buildings have been built very close to each other. Moreover, deep excavation is commonly done near the existing buildings such as construction of basement of new buildings and construction of underground MRT or tunneling. …”

Investigating the inner controls on explosive eruptions using textural analyses and petrology by Bernard, Olivier

“…An effusive eruption generating slow-moving lava flows will be a lot less destructive than a violent explosive eruption producing large pyroclastic density currents (PDC). Recently, it has been shown that most volcanoes around the globe and particularly in a subduction-setting, are able to produce both effusive and violently explosive eruptions with sometimes rapid transitions between eruption styles in the span of a few hours to minutes. …”

Strain rate, temperature, and their coupled effects on the deformation process of four polycarbonates and a short glass fibre reinforced polycarbonate composite by Song, P

“…<p>Polycarbonate is a typical glassy thermoplastic polymer, which has been widely used in engineering applications because of its ductility, transparency and impact resistance. …”

Material characterization of additive manufactured metal parts for failure analysis by Seow, Mei Qi

“…In the recent years, the usage of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology has been on a rise in the manufacturing industry due to the capabilities of allowing manufacturers to fabricate parts with higher complexity and lower part count as compared to conventional manufacturing. …”

Hybrid machining of structural ceramics by Choon, Yee King.

“…For alcohol-thin-film-assisted etching, a 10 fold increase in material removal rate compared to water and KOH is observed, with depth of texture ranged from 100 to 330 µm. Explosive melt expulsion could be the dominant material removal mechanism, which enhanced the etching efficiency in water and KOH according to the observed cavities on the etched surface. …”

Rheology on CNT-filled polymer nanocomposites (II) by Chan, Xue Shuang.

“…The MWCNTs filled polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared by employing acid-treated MWCNTs through melt compounding using a twin-screw extruder. Polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) was added to the nanocomposites as a compatibilizer to promote the dispersion of carbon nanotubes. …”

Compatibility studies of polypropylene (PP)-sago starch (SS) blends using DMTA by Hamdan, S., Hashim, D. M. A., Ahmad, M., Embong, S.

“…Sago starch (SS) was melt-blended with polypropylene (PP) with the concentration of SS in the blends varied between 10% and 50% by weight. …”

Loss analysis of a mix-flow turbine with nozzled twin-entry volute at different admissions by Xue, Yingxian, Yang, Mingyang, Martinez-Botas, Ricardo F., Romagnoli, Alessandro, Deng, Kangyao

“…Loss breakdown of turbine shows that loss is higher in nozzle but lower in rotor when the majority of flow is fed from upper part of the component (near shroud). Opposite phenomenon happens when the majority is fed from lower part (near hub). …”

Performance of a novel LED lamp arrangement to reduce SNR fluctuation for multi-user visible light communication systems by Wang, Zixiong, Yu, Changyuan, Zhong, Wende, Chen, Jian, Chen, Wei

“…After time domain zero-forcing (ZF) equalization, the BER performances and channel capacities of 100-Mbit/s and 200-Mbit/s bipolar on-off-keying (OOK) signal with most significant inter-symbol interference (ISI) are very close to that of the channel without any ISI caused by this LED lamp arrangement.…”
