Mechanism of traffic jams at speed bottlenecks by Quek, Wei Liang, Chew, Lock Yue

“…As suggested by Sugiyama[1], when car density exceeds a critical density, the fluctuations in the speed of each car will lead to greater fluctuations in speed of the cars behind it. …”

Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) as a matrix for immobilization of lipase by Yunus, W. M. Z. Wan, Salleh, A. B., Ismail, A., Ampon, K., Razak, C. N. A., Basri, M.

“…The best result based on hydrolytic activity was obtained by adsorption of the purified unbuffered enzyme solution onto PMMA beads without any modification of the beads. Prolonged exposure of the protein to the beads increased its adsorption but the expressed activity decreased after 1 h of exposure. …”

3D printing formulation of probiotic extracellular vesicles for gastrointestinal cancer by Jaidev, Prapti

“…Subsequently, printing parameters were tailored to produce uniform-sized beads. A preservation study was then conducted to identify the optimal storage environment for preventing degradation of the 3D bioprinted beads. …”

Lubricant evolution and depletion under laser heating : a molecular dynamics study by Li, Yong, Wong, Chee How, Li, Bei, Yu, Shengkai, Hua, Wei, Zhou, Weidong

“…A temperature gradient is formed in the radial direction due to the heat transfer between the heated beads and the surrounding lubricants. During the cooling process, the strong functional interaction between end-beads and the substrate layer hinders the recovery and redistribution of depleted lubricant beads, resulting in an undersaturated film. …”

Structure of mushy layers grown from perfectly and imperfectly conducting boundaries. Part 1. Diffusive solidification by Hitchen, JR, Wells, AJ

“…Low concentration ratio leads to low porosity throughout most of the mushy layer, except for a high-porosity boundary layer localised near the mush–liquid interface. …”

Synbiotic encapsulation against Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection in whiteleg shrimps by Wei, Guangmin, Tay, Moon Yue Fen, Kamaja, Vamshi Krishna, Chan-Park, Mary B.

Implementation of Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm for vehicle routing by Pang, Jacquelyn Jiaqi

“…ST Engineering and NTU has also been working on autonomous vehicles in hopes that it can take over the public transport systems in the near future. My project thus focuses on traffic simulations within Singapore to find the shortest path between any source and destination as this would reduce fuel consumption and allow more passengers to take on the service within a time frame. …”

Computational diagnostics and characterization of combustion recession in diesel sprays by Arguelles, FJ, Fagade, MD, Mehra, J, Xu, C, Sekularac, N, Fang, XH

“…The study also detailed the extinction mechanism of combustion: the entrainment wave will overlean the near-nozzle mixtures, rendering it unable to support HTI, which leads to the extinction of the upstream flame AEOI in lower reactivity mixtures. …”

Theoretical investigations and simulations of femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy and coherent anti-stokes Raman spectroscopy by Li, Xiuting

“…Twenty four Feynman dual time line and four wave mixing energy level diagrams are first presented to depict CARS. The line-shape and relative intensity of each term are interpreted for both off-resonance CARS and resonance CARS on toluene and R6G, respectively.…”

What are the intensities and line-shapes of the twenty four polarization terms in coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy? by Niu, Kai, Lee, Soo-Ying

“…It is shown that in fs/ps CARS, for the two cases of off-resonance CARS in toluene and resonanceCARS in rhodamine 6G, where we use a fs pump pulse, a fs Stokes pulse and a ps probe pulse, we obtain sharp vibrational lines in four of the polarization terms where the pump and Stokes pulses can create a vibrational coherence on the ground electronic state, while the spectral line-shapes of the other twenty terms are broad and featureless. …”

Kinetic modelling of 70S ribosome and F1-ATPase by Le, Quang Luan

“…Further increase of [Mg2+] to 7 mM leads to plummet of translation speed. This is attributed to more sluggish ribosomes occupied with near cognates, causing less ribosomes for cognates. …”

Embedded Object Detection and Mapping in Soft Materials Using Optical Tactile Sensing by Solano-Castellanos, Jose A., Do, Won Kyung, Kennedy, Monroe D.

“…To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, we tested our approach on an experimental setup that consists of a series of quartz beads located underneath a polyethylene foam that prevents direct observation of the configuration and requires the use of tactile exploration to recover the location of the beads. …”

Engineering of In Vitro 3D Capillary Beds by Self-Directed Angiogenic Sprouting by Chan, Juliana Maria, Zervantonakis, Ioannis K., Rimchala, Tharathorn, Polacheck, William Joseph, Whisler, Jordan, Kamm, Roger Dale

“…Here, we report the engineering of 3D capillary beds in an in vitro microfluidic platform that is comprised of a biocompatible collagen I gel supported by a mechanical framework of alginate beads. The engineered vessels have patent lumens, form robust ~1.5 mm capillary networks across the devices, and support the perfusion of 1 µm fluorescent beads through them. …”
