The effects of processing conditions on the morphology of single conjugated polymers. by Yeo, Hui Lin.

“…The photoluminescent lifetime of spun-cast single regioregular poly (3-hexylthiophene) (RR P3HT) was found to be significantly larger (2 – 3.5ns) than that of drop-cast chains and that in solution (<0.5ns), which likely implies a chain conformational dependence on the processing method used. …”

Fast depth-sensitive fluorescence measurements in turbid media using cone shell configuration by Ong, Yi Hong, Liu, Quan

“…Depth-sensitive fluorescence spectroscopy in a two-layered epithelial tissue phantom was demonstrated using a cone shell configuration implemented by an axicon lens and a fiber assembly including five rings of collection fibers. Each collection fiber ring was located at a different radial distance away from the center, for which fluorescence measurements from all rings showed a larger range of sensitivities to the top and bottom layers compared to the previously reported cone shell configuration. …”

Synthesis and characterization of mesoporous expanded graphite modified with PA/H3PO4 for enhanced oil sorption efficiency by Elbidi, Moammar, Mohd Salleh, Mohamad Amran, Gunam Resul, Mohamad Faiz Mukhtar, Rashid, Suraya Abdul

“…The chemical intercalation procedure was carried out at room temperature for 30 min in the first step "oxidation" with an optimum weight ratio of 1 g: 5.1 g: 18.8 g: 0.2 of NGF, PA, H3PO4, and KMnO4. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”
