Synergistic interaction between inorganic layered materials and intumescent fire retardants for advanced fire protection by Hu, Xiaochun, Luo, Yuqing, Liu, Wen, Sun, Zhiqiang

“…In this study, we address this fundamental knowledge gap by systematically investigating the synergy between the IFR fire protection coatings and the CaAlCO3-layer double hydroxide (LDH) or montmorillonite (MMT) fillers, which render substantially longer fire resistance (>20 min), reduced specific extinction area (by 54.7 and 44.1 m2 kg−2, respectively), and reduced heat release (by 0.9 and 0.7 MJ m−2, respectively). …”

Post-processing of cold sprayed CoNiCrAlY coatings on Inconel 718 by rapid induction heating by Yang, Yongjing, Aprilia, Aprilia, Wu, Kaiqiang, Tan, Sung Chyn, Zhou, Wei

“…The porosity level of the coatings reduced significantly after induction heating for a short period of merely 10 min. This is attributed to the preferential Joule heating at pore regions, which results in pore closures within the coatings. …”

Use of telephone intake for family history taking at a cancer genetics service in Asia by Chin, Xin Wei, Ang, Zoe L. T., Tan, Ryan Y. C., Courtney, Eliza, Shaw, Tarryn, Chen, Yanni, Li, Shao-Tzu, Ngeow, Joanne

“…Two improvements were observed after the implementation of telephone intake: (a) a significant reduction in the duration of the initial consultation from 60 to 45 min (p = .001) and (b) a significant increase of 29.7% in clinic attendance (p = .01). …”

Dumbbell-shaped block copolymers for the fabrication of anisotropic soft actuators by Pan, Houwen Matthew, Chan, Jonathan Kai Bin, Sarkar, Jit, Goto, Atsushi

“…Dumbbell-shaped comb block copolymers (BCPs) with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) side chains were crosslinked via poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) to form actuators that exhibited reversible actuation, fast response (5 min), a high anisotropic swelling strain (51% in the x-axis and 98% in the y-axis), and bending on the z-axis in an organic solvent. …”

Use of osmotic tensiometers in the determination of soil-water characteristic curves by Liu, Hengshuo, Rahardjo, Harianto, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Du, Hejun

“…The OT showed a fast response in soil suction measurement and the equilibrium can be established in 10–15 min during SWCC measurement. Comparison of the SWCC data obtained from the pressure plate, OT, and WP4C dewpoint potentiometer proves that the OT had good performance in the determination of SWCC, especially for the transition zone (i.e., 10–1500 kPa suction range), by providing more data points to define the SWCC in a shorter period. …”
