High-pressure hydrogenation of graphene : towards graphane by Poh, Hwee Ling, Šaněk, Filip, Sofer, Zdeněk, Pumera, Martin

“…We present here a scalable method for the hydrogenation of graphene based on thermal exfoliation of graphite oxide in a hydrogen atmosphere under high pressure (60–150 bar) and temperature (200–500 °C). This method does not require a plasma source and is able to produce gram quantities of the material. …”

Adsorption characteristics of doped MIL-101(Cr) and methane system by Nasirudin Muhammad Tariq

“…Subsequently, an experimental investigation was conducted to measure the uptake of methane for the temperatures ranging from 85 K to 298 K and pressures up to 10 bar using the volumetric and cryogenic set-up. Till today, researchers have focused on adsorption above triple point of methane with different adsorbents. …”

A self-rectifying unipolar HfOx based RRAM using doped germanium bottom electrode by Liu, W. J., Tran, Xuan Anh, Sun, Xiaowei, Yu, Hongyu

“…Owning to Schottky barrier between defect states in HfOx layer and n-Ge substrate, RRAM cells possess a self-rectifying behavior in LRS which eliminates the read-out errors induced by leakage current paths in cross-bar array structure. The demonstrated RRAM device shows high ON/OFF ratio (>5 × 102 @ 0.5 V), and its effective Schottky barrier height is also addressed. …”

Mechanical properties and cracking behaviour of marble and moulded gypsum under high strain rates by Zou, Chunjiang

“…The mechanical properties of both intact and non-intact specimens including the compressive strength, the tensile strength, the elastic modulus, and the failure strain are tested under different strain rates by using a servo compression machine and a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. Experimental results reveal that these mechanical properties all show strain rate-dependence to different degrees. …”

论李世民音乐政治观对儒家礼乐思想的继承和转化 = A study on Li Shimin music-politics: inheritance and transformation of Confucian ritual and music thought by 许惠佳 Koh, Hwee Kay

“…To a certain extent, he had inherited Yueji, Confucian ritual and Music thought - which extensively covers the social influence and educational function of music to society – while at the same time, his Music-politics thought bears much resemblance to those of Ji Kang. This article hopes to explore in detail Li Shimin’s Music-politics thought, and by using Yueji as a comparison, analyses how his inheritance and transformation of Confucian Ritual and Music thought played an important role in shaping the Tang Culture.…”
