Investigation of the fuel consumption of a ship considering the dynamic coupling effect among resistance, propeller torque and engine power under the control of a governor by Beh, Gerald Kah Hooi

“…Through developing the model, it was found that the engine speed would accelerate at an unrealistic rate, and a slope limiter was fitted in order to control the rate of change of engine speed in line with the manufacturer’s specifications. Thereafter, the effects of using the model to simulate real conditions were studied, with an emphasis on evaluating model performance given real inputs such as wind and wave resistance values. …”

Bolstering functionality in multilayer and bilayer WS₂ via focused laser micro-engraving by Chan, Si Min, Poh, Eng Tuan, Leong, Jin Feng, Goh, Johnson Kuan Eng, Sow, Chorng Haur

“…Coupled with the flexible maneuver of the laser, various monolayer designs can be achieved, including micro-antenna, waveguide, and electrode geometries with lateral line widths at 1.5 µm resolution. Furthermore, we also detail the optical properties of the monolayers obtained from laser thinning, with those acquired from multilayers containing more defect-bound excitons, whereas those lasered from bilayers presenting a trion-dominated profile similar to as-grown monolayers. …”
