Outlook for the dry bulk shipping market by Wee, Wei Ming

“…With the improving freight rates supported by growing global demand for dry bulk commodities driven by economic recovery, the market prospects for dry bulk shipping are optimistic in the near future. Though the overcapacity issue is improving, there is still risk of it repeating in the next few years due to the incoming waves of new deliveries from the recent new orders. …”

Synthesis of bioconjugated gold nanoparticles for targeted imaging of breast cancer cells by Low, Yu Qi

“…Dark field images showed binding of gold nanoparticles on cell membranes of SKBR-3 cells while little or no particles were distributed near the HER2 negative MCF-7 cells. Therefore, we synthesized gold nanoparticles that can selectively and sensitively detect cancer cells for bioimaging and biosensing by modifying them with specific targeting ligands.…”

Wave-induced longitudinal vortices in a shallow current by Huang, Zhenhua, Mei, Chiang C.

“…With a simple model of eddy viscosity the dimensionless shearing rate of the basic current is much weaker than the dimensionless velocity almost everywhere except near the bed. We shall show that in addition to the internal vortex force, a mean shear stress exists on the mean sea level, owing to nonlinear wave–current interactions, despite the absence of wind. …”
