Effect of heat treatment on microstructures and mechanical properties of Inconel 718 additively manufactured using gradient laser power by Xu, Luming, Chai, Ze, Peng, Bo, Zhou, Wei, Chen, Xiaoqi

“…The as-deposited GLP samples with fine discrete Laves phases and a low SR can achieve a relatively uniform element distribution and γ′′ and γ′ phase precipitation after standard solution treatment plus aging (STA), while CLP samples with coarse long-chain Laves phases and high SR require a high-temperature homogenization plus STA (HSTA) heat treatment to achieve the uniform element distribution. …”

The Shape of Kubler: George A. Kubler in Peru, 1948-49 by Schweig, Johann

“…This thesis takes a look into a year of Kubler’s life in 1948-49, spent in Peru conducting archival research and field work on culture change with the Institute for Social Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution and teaching a seminar on the use of archival sources in ethnology at Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima; during this time, Kubler also engaged in the construction of an archive of his own. …”

Development of a point-of-care (POC) diagnostic system by Lee, Shinhan.

“…The testing cartridge is made in polymer substrate and consists of the inlet chamber, microchannels for fluidic flow control and the reaction chamber s to hold the LSPR chips, as well as the waste chamber to contain the spent biosample and reagents. The main objective of this project was to develop the first working demo prototype for the intended POC system to evaluate the various ideas that were put together in this project for the first time. …”

Small-island interactions: pottery from Roman Malta by Anastasi, M

“…In the first instance, a detailed study of three complete and new ceramic assemblages, including amphorae, fine, cooking and coarse wares, was undertaken. The opportunity to quantify identifiable imports and compare them with local products—the first of its kind for fine, cooking and coarse wares—provided valuable proxy data for comparing Malta with neighbouring islands and centres, and demonstrated what proportion of ceramic vessels were locally supplied, and how these changed over time. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Experimental and numerical study of self-locking adaptable inter connection for modular steel structures by Nadeem, Gohar, Safiee, Nor Azizi, Bakar, Nabilah Abu, Karim, Izian Abd, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline

“…The findings indicated that the gap produced between connection and column under higher displacement was sensitive to the outer bolt and spring pin. This gap could be further reduced by increasing the number of outer bolts and by reducing tolerance between adapter and column walls.…”

Smart home control system design using internet of things based energy harvesting technology by Silalahi, Lukman Medriavin, Indrawan, Muhammad Rafi, Budiyanto, Setiyo, Hanafi, Dirman, Abdul Hamid, Abdul Hamid, Ronaldo, Davit

“…The objective of this research is to provide security for homeowners by facilitating fingerprints and PIN (Personal Identification Numbers) in entering the house, then in the event of a power outage, it activates the function of energy harvesting technology. …”
