Computational and experimental study of a platinum thin-film based oil condition and contamination sensor by Sridhar, V, Chana, KS, Singh, D

“…Oil contamination occurs when metallic or non-metallic particles are produced due to wear of the machine components such as bearings, gears etc. and these particles may not be always captured by the filtering system that are already in the lubrication system. …”

Photo-modulable molecular transport junctions based on organometallic molecular wires by Meng, Fanben, Hervault, Yves-Marie, Norel, Lucie, Costuas, Karine, Dyck, Colin Van, Geskin, Victor, Cornil, Jérôme, Hng, Huey Hoon, Rigaut, Stéphane, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Photo-modulable molecular transport junctions are developed via on-wire lithography-fabricated nanogaps functionalized with a dithienylethene unit bearing two ruthenium fragments.

Experimental investigation into load settlement characteristics of piled rafts in sand by Leong, Hazel Xueling.

“…Studies by many notable researchers in the years to come suggest that the most effective combinations of piles and raft happens when all the initial loading can be borne with the raft’s bearing capacity alone. The role of the piles was solely to reduce the excessive settlement experienced by the plain raft.…”
