Improved performance of gravity-driven membrane filtration for seawater pretreatment: Implications of membrane module configuration by Tan, Hwee Sin, Hochstrasser, Florian, Wu, Bing, Christen, Tino, Suwarno, Stanislaus Raditya, Liu, Xin, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Burkhardt, Michael, Pronk, Wouter, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…This flux was higher than those in the lab-scale GDM reactor (16.3 ± 0.2 L/m2h; effective volume of 8.4 L) and in the filtration cell system (2.7 ± 0.6 L/m2h; feed side volume of 0.0046 L) when the same flat sheet membrane was used. Interestingly, when the filtration cell was submerged into the GDM reactor, the flux (17.2 L/m2h) was comparable to the submerged membrane module. …”

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. …”

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. …”
