Micropipette aspiration of a living cell by Badjo, Wenna

“…Using the viscoelastic model, it was found that PDMS 20:1 will result in higher stiffness of cell and the longer the cell is cultured on the substrate, the stiffer the cell, however this is only apply for the span of 7 days. On the other hand, no substantiate conclusion is drawn from the elastic modulus. …”

Futurism: performance and performativity of a movement by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig

“…Performance interventions span across the history of this movement (Goldberg, 2011): from the notorious 'serate' instigated by Marinetti, in which the audience would be purposefully scandalised, provoked and offended, to the futurist music concerts that provided an ancestral root for the aesthetics of synthesised sound in contemporary music (Rodney, 1976), not to mention the Russian counterpart of this movement, which embraced, on stage, such wide a field as to encompass theatre, opera, dance, music and scenic design. …”

Investigation on the braking characteristics of tractor-trailer on jackknifing by Gan, Zhilong

“…The results show that when the wheels remains in rolling motion, the brake input needs to be sufficient enough so as to inhibit the translational motion of the vehicle as well as work against the trailer swing motion or tractor spin-out. On the other hand, when the wheels are in sliding motion, the effective braking force exerted on the wheels is reduced and therefore increases the chance of jackknifing again. …”
