A secret of high-rate mass transfer in anammox granular sludge : "lung-like breathing" by Xu, Dongdong, Kang, Da, Yu, Tao, Ding, Aqiang, Lin, Qiujian, Zhang, Meng, Hu, Qianyi, Zheng, Ping

“…The AnGS cultivated in a bioreactor with higher nitrogen removal rate (NRR) was found to have the higher ExCA and ExCF when determinated at the same BLR, and the “lung-like breathing” behavior of one type of AnGS was revealed to bear a significantly (p < 0.05) positive correlation with the specific anammox activity (SAA). …”

Structural behavior of tubular frame under elevated temperature by Tan, Peng Hoe.

“…In this study, a two-bay-two-floor steel tubular frame, separated as four individual compartments, was modeled to investigate the behaviour of tubular frame under transient elevated temperature. To bear a resemblance to real fire condition, transient elevated temperature analysis was run to provide a more realistic solution. …”

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. …”

Selective removal of hydroxyl groups from graphene oxide by Chua, Chun Kiang, Pumera, Martin

“…Numerous methods starting from various reducing agents have been developed to obtain near-pristine graphene sheets. However, most of the reducing agents are not mechanistically supported by classical organic chemistry knowledge and of those that are supported, they are only theoretically capable of, at most, reducing oxygen-containing groups on graphene oxide to hydroxyl groups. …”

Lithium intercalation compound dramatically influences the electrochemical properties of exfoliated MoS2 by Ambrosi, Adriano, Sofer, Zdeněk, Pumera, Martin

“…MoS2 and other transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently gained a renewed interest due to the interesting electronic, catalytic, and mechanical properties which they possess when down-sized to single or few layer sheets. Exfoliation of the bulk multilayer structure can be achieved by a preliminary chemical Li intercalation followed by the exfoliation due to the reaction of Li with water. …”
