Construction of 2,6-trans pyrans via Prins cyclization and its application towards the total synthesis of methyl sarcophytoate by Hu, Xuhong

“…Prins cyclization reaction involving a homoallylic alcohol with aldehyde is one of the most efficient methods to synthesize tetrahydropyran rings. However, due to the strong 1,3-diaxial interaction, the 2,6-cis tetrahydropyran moiety was formed preferably in most cases. …”

Sequencing palladium-catalyzed cycloisomerization cascades in a synthesis of the gelsemine core by Liang, G, Anderson, EA

“…Here we report investigations of the relative rates of two different types of ene-ynamide cycloisomerization that form fused and spirocyclic rings, and use of these results to design a sequence-controlled cascade cycloisomerization that prepares the tetracyclic core of gelsemine in a single step. …”

Compatability and equilibrium approach to slender concrete column design (dual project) by Toh, Yi Hui

“…This report evaluates and compares the proposed design method with the Australian code AS3600-2001 for slender concrete column. The failure loads of pin-end columns under short term loading and uniaxial bending are used as a pre-determined factor to analyse the data. …”

Ladder Polyether Synthesis via Epoxide-Opening Cascades Using a Disappearing Directing Group by Simpson, Graham L, Heffron, Timothy P, Merino, Estíbaliz, Jamison, Timothy F

“…The trimethylsilyl group disappears during the course of the cascade, and thus these are the first epoxide ring-opening cascades that afford ladder polyether subunits containing no directing groups at the end of the cascade.…”

Two-phase immersion cooling for power dense printed circuit board converters by Ristic-Smith, A

“…A theoretical model and numerical solution method for boiling on pin fins is developed and used to design heat spreaders to increase the power dissipation per unit semiconductor area with minimal penalty on the converter volume. …”

Towards graphane applications in security: the electrochemical detection of trinitrotoluene in seawater on hydrogenated graphene by Seah, Tzu Hui, Poh, Hwee Ling, Chua, Chun Kiang, Sofer, Zdeněk, Pumera, Martin

“…Graphene was found to display a higher sensitivity than hydrogenated graphene and could be an ideal material for the detection of TNT in seawater. This is likely due to the fact that graphene contains a larger amount of aromatic rings than hydrogenated graphene, enabling larger preconcentration. …”

Developments in THz Polaritonics: Towards Integrated Nonlinear THz Spectroscopy by Sung, Eric Rueyhao

“…A circular stair-step "echelon" mirror is used to shape the pump pulse into a conical tilted pulse front composed of a series of concentric rings of pump light. When the pump rings are imaged onto a thin LT waveguide, coherent superposition of the focusing THz fields excited individually by each pump ring results in a dramatically enhanced THz field at the focus. …”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”
