Synthesis and performance analysis of a polysulfone braid-supported hollow fiber membrane for natural gas purification by Imtiaz, Aniqa, Kamaludin, Roziana, Othman, Mohd. Hafiz Dzarfan, Jilani, Asim, Khan, Imran Ullah, Muhammad Ayub, Muhammad Ayub, Samuel, Ojo, Iftikhar, Musawira

“…To assess the performance, gas separation tests were conducted using pure gases at 3 bar. Notably, the membrane sample with 21 wt% PSF and the 3rd coating layer (21_3 PSF) exhibited the most promising gas separation performance among all the samples selected to carry out the separation performance test, achieving a CO2/CH4 selectivity of 1.83. …”

Magical realism and representations of the cold war in Southeast Asia by Lye, Kit Ying

“…However, while there are acknowledgements by scholars that religious myths and pre-existing animistic beliefs continue to influence the way that the indigenous people understand their worlds, Southeast Asian authors (unlike many of their postcolonial peers), do not actively employ magical realism in their exploration of history and civil unrest in their writings, and when they do, are not employed to the same degree as postcolonial authors in other regions. …”

Secure and secret cooperation in robotic swarms by Castelló Ferrer, Eduardo, Hardjono, Thomas, Pentland, Alex 'Sandy', Dorigo, Marco

“…We propose a system where robots in a swarm, to cooperate towards mission completion, have to "prove" their integrity to their peers by exchanging cryptographic proofs. We show the implications of this approach for two different swarm robotics missions: foraging and maze formation. …”
