Synthesis and characterization of reduced graphene oxide-based composites by Wu, Shixin

“…By varying the solution volume in the spin-coating process, the film thickness can be adjusted and hence the film transmittance and sheet resistance can be controlled. Second, Cu/rGO nanostructured composites have been synthesized through the electrochemical deposition method. …”

Dynamic swimming pattern of Pseudomonas aeruginosa near a vertical wall during initial attachment stages of biofilm formation by Khong, Nicole Zi-Jia, Zeng, Yukai, Lai, Soak-Kuan, Koh, Cheng-Gee, Liang, Zhao-Xun, Chiam, Keng-Hwee, Li, Hoi-Yeung

“…Here, we compared the near wall (vertical) swimming behaviour of P. aeruginosa (PAO1) and its mutants ΔdipA (reduced in swarming motility and increased in biofilm formation) and ΔfimX (deficient in twitching motility and reduced in biofilm formation) using our new imaging technique based on light sheet microscopy. We found that P. aeruginosa (PAO1) increases its speed and changes its swimming angle drastically when it gets closer to a wall. …”

Coacervates derived from mussel foot proteins by Guo, Qi

“…CD and FTIR spectra also characterized the formation of localized β-sheet structures with the addition of salts. To further understand the specific roles of amino acids to the molecular level, several GK-16 variants were designed with a series of amino acid substituents. …”

In2Se3-based two-dimensional photocatalysts for water-splitting by Wong, CCY

“…Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirmed the thin-sheet like morphology with around 10-50 layers of In₂Se₃. …”

Fabrication and characterization of Algan/Gan high electron mobility transistors on silicon by Tham, Wai Hoe

“…Owing to the reduced bowing and lower epilayer defects, an improvement in the 2DEG mobility and sheet-resistivity uniformity across the SOI wafers is observed. …”

Colloidal quantum dot light-emitting diode architectures for high performance by Leck, Kheng Swee

“…In addition, in the thesis, we used gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) to replace tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) used as the electrode in QD-LEDs due to the increasingly expensive raw materials of ITO. The lowest sheet resistance and resistivity of the radio-frequency (RF) sputtered GZO films are 12.28 Ω/□ and 9.48×10-4 Ω·cm, respectively, comparable to those of commercial grade ITO. …”

Fabrication of hollow fiber membranes using amphiphilic block copolymers as pore-forming additives by Loh, Chun Heng

“…In this work, the fundamental study has been carried out on flat sheet membranes instead of hollow fibers because the former involve less fabrication parameters. …”

Tsewang Norbu NGB by Cantwell, C, Mayer, R

“…Such “non-visible” notes are marked by a Tibetan style of asterisk, and will become visible with a “mouse-over”.9 The specifically codicological notes can be clicked on within the catalogue at the appropriate place, and, apart from notes which might affect a few syllables of text (eg. if there is a single hole in the sheet where some syllables from a chapter title occur), they are also gathered together with descriptions of the first few folia in the Codicological Information section at the front of each volume entry (see above). …”

Fatigue in multilayered steels by Kumar, Punit, Msolli, Sabeur, Jhon, Mark H., Ramamurty, Upadrasta

“…While the quasistatic tensile stress-strain responses of both the sheets are nearly-identical, fatigue strength of sheets with austenitic outer layers is substantially higher than those with martensitic layers, due mainly to the nature of residual stress distribution in the two sheets. …”

Instrumentation optimisation for unicompartmental knee replacement by Arthur, LW

“…To minimise the risk of bearing fracture in the very long-term, surgeons should position the bearing close to the tibial wall, neutrally align the femoral component, and avoid using the thinnest Size 3 bearings in young patients.…”

Study on structural robustness to resist progressive collapse of vertical irregularly base-isolated structures by Bao, Chao, Ma, Xiaotong, Lv, Dahai, Wu, Qiaozhi, Doh, Shu Ing, Chin, Siew Choo, Shu, Hongbo, Nor Hayati, Abdul Hamid

“…It is suggested that reasonable protection measures should be set for the isolation bearing with greater vulnerability coefficient which may suffer from extreme accidents and the potential risk of isolation bearing with greater component importance coefficient is eliminated or reduced.…”
