Curiosity Opens Relationships of the World and with Others: Narratives from Doing Teaching and Learning Through Curiosity by Cavicchi, Elizabeth

“…In narratives from my teaching, curiosity propels exploring relationships among: floating and sinking; trees, leaves and acorns; dye in water; maple sap sweetness; bubbles in water; and permutations of objects. …”

Experimental investigation on thermal properties of carbon nanotubes/zinc silicate composites prepared by powder processing by Chan, Kar Fei, Zaid, Mohd Hafiz Mohd, Mamat, Md Shuhazlly, Tanemura, Masaki, Liza, Shahira, Miyazaki, Hidetoshi, Maruyama, Takahiro, Sako, Katsuya, Sharma, Kamal Prasad, Osman, Nurul Huda, Sa'at, Nor Kamilah, Mazlan, Hazeem Ikhwan, Yaakob, Yazid

“…Through this fabrication method, the results allowed the CNTs-ceramic research path to be navigated in the better direction and served the scientific community in the development of micro-optoelectronic and passive heat sinks.…”

Developing a lightscape application (using a raspberry PI) by Ong, Wenchuan

“…The project aims to develop a web application, which will be hosted within the Raspberry Pi, for controlling the brightness of constant light source from the high power LED via the Raspberry Pi’s General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins and gather optimal settings for projecting images with the Light Blaster. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Enhanced flotation of high density polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride mixtures based on clean corona modification by Wang, Yinan, Zhao, Yue, Guo, Linyi, Han, Fengrong, Li, Xiaofeng

“…Under the optimal conditions of 300 W positive discharge power and 8000 ms exposure time, HDPE turned into the sinking tail while PVC still accumulated in the floating product, leading to the maximum separation recovery and purity of 96.36% and 97.01%, respectively. …”

Influence of the exchange symmetry beyond the exclusion principle by Tennie, F

“…In particular, we <em>analytically</em> study the (quasi-)pinning effect which corresponds to a saturation of the GPCs and imposes structural simplifications on the <em>N</em>-fermion state. …”

Production risk and technical efficiency of Thai Koi (Anabas testudineus Bloch) farming in some selected areas of Bangladesh by Sarker, Md. Al Amin

“…Floating feed showed better performance in terms of the mean daily weight gain of fish, feed conversion ratios and mean weight of table fish with less culture days as opposed to sinking and mixed feeds. The net returns and benefit cost ratio were also the highest with the floating feed. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”

新移民的跨国实践和离散论述 ：孙侠(铃铛)个案研究 = Transnational practice and diasporic discourses of new immigrant : a case study on Sun Xia (Ling Dang) by Sun, Guizi

“…She no longer has to face the dilemma of choosing between returning to her homeland and sinking root where she resides. Instead, she lives a double life through transnational links between Singapore and China. …”

Strategies to modulate Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor properties for low temperature transparent transistors by Kulkarni, Mohit Rameshchandra

“…Such surface modifications can achieve a change in the carrier concentration by change in work function or shifting- pinning of the Fermi level, or additional field generated due to dipoles created at the surface. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…The reinforcing mechanism was due to the lubrication and pinning effects of rGO, which resulted in high resistance to penetration, elastic recovery capability, low-cycle fatigue resistance, and microcrack propagation inhibition properties. …”

In-situ infrared spectroscopy studies of surface reactions over irradiated photocatalysts by Gong, Dangguo

“…Pt deposits act as efficient electron sinks (as judged by quenching of the continuum absorption) and activate the reductive component of the photocatalytic cycle (through ionosorption of dioxygen and/or reduction of protons), further enhancing the overall efficiency. …”
