Fabrication of composite FO hollow fiber membranes by co-spinning process – preliminary investigation on properties of the support layer by Cwa, Jackson Xing Long

“…It was found that the viscosity of the dope solution increased when the additives were added, and that the additives were observed to have the effect of increasing the polymer concentration needed to reach a point where a steep increase in the viscosity of the dope solution can be observed; the point that suggests significant chain entanglement occurring in the dope solution.…”

Synthesis and characterization of nanostructures-graphene hybrid system. by Lee, Xin Ying.

“…Nanotechnology attracts immense attention because a structure may start to exhibit new physical properties or strange phenomena when it miniaturize to the nanometer scale. One-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures have attracted immense attention due to the unique mechanical, optical and electrical properties they possess that differ from those of bulk and nanoparticles as well as their promising applications in the fabrication of nanodevices. …”

Deposition characterisation and process window development for plasma sprayed thermal barrier coatings by Ng, Heong Wah.

“…The main issues in spraying have been in coating thickness control especially in spraying of three dimensionally complex components which have concave or convex curvatures. When spraying onto curved surfaces such as on many engineering components, the molten droplets impact in a spray cone pattern such that many droplets impact at oblique angles. …”

Screening for chloroform/perchloroethylene-degrading bacterial candidates for bioaugmentation in anaerobic bioprocess and development of chloroform/perchloroethylene-induced toxici... by Leng, Amanda Jun Theng.

“…A new method was developed to estimate the CF/PCE concentration based on the growth profile of CF/PCE-sensitive reference strains when exposed to different CF/PCE concentration. Regression analysis using the growth rate of the reference strains will be used to intrapolate the unknown CF/PCE concentration in the supernatant. …”

A compressor based 16-bit binary-to-residue converter for low power applications by Vasuma, Narayana

“…Since the reduction of supply voltage causes a speed penalty in the system, both power and delay characteristics are studied to obtain the best tradeoff The different logic styles in CMOS circuits vary in their performance characteristics when subjected to voltage over-scaling. Hence, a comparison of the power and delay characteristics of the circuits at ultra-low voltages is presented for the complementary CMOS, dynamic and pass transistor logic styles. …”
