Ectomycorrhizal community composition, diversity, and their environmental drivers across common UK temperate woodlands by Ong, Wei Sern

“…While overall ECM richness/diversity was higher among the ancient semi-natural broadleaved habitats than the coniferous-dominant planted woodlands, coppicing and monoculture growth did not appear to reduce ECM richness when compared against their non-coppiced woodlands and mixed conifer woodlands counterparts. The main variables identified to influence ECM community composition (pH, vegetation species richness) were also different from the variables identified to influence ECM richness (vegetation proportions, fine root biomass). …”

Synthesis, characterization and terahertz study of metal oxides by He, Mi

“…The interplays among various orderings of the spin, charge and orbital degrees of freedom in a broad spectrum of crystalline structures produce a number forms of symmetry-breaking patterns of spatial inversion, time-reversal and gauge symmetries, leading to exciting emergent phenomena in strongly-correlated electron systems and promising a variety of potential applications. The main objective of this dissertation is synthesis, characterization and terahertz study of metal oxides, which particularly refers to the transition metal oxide of ZnO and multiferroic BiFeO3 materials. …”

Effect of heat treatment on repetitively scanned SLM NiTi shape memory alloy by An, Jia, Liu, Yong, Khoo, Zhong Xun, Chua, Chee Kai, Shen, Yu Fang, Kuo, Che Nan

“…The results showed an improvement when the samples were heat treated at a temperature of 400 °C for a period of 5 min. The enhancement in the shape memory behavior of the repetitively scanned samples was mainly attributed to the formation of fine Ni4Ti3 metastable precipitates.…”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”
