The Portevin-Le Chatelier effect of Cu-2.0Be alloy during hot compression by Zhu, Daibo, Wu, Na, Liu, Yang, Liu, Xiaojin, Jiang, Chaohua, Jiang, Yanbin, Zhao, Hongyun, Cui, Shuhui, Xie, Guilan

“…As the strain rate increases, the dislocations outpace the diffusion speed of the solute atoms, limiting their ability to effectively pin the dislocations, resulting in lower dislocation density and serration amplitude. …”

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. …”

Identification and application of self-binding zipper-like sequences in SARS-CoV spike protein by Zhang, Si Min, Liao, Ying, Neo, Tuan Ling, Lu, Yanning, Liu, Ding Xiang, Vahlne, Anders, Tam, James Pingkwan

“…Self-binding peptides containing zipper-like sequences, such as the Leu/Ile zipper sequence within the coiled coil regions of proteins and the cross-β spine steric zippers within the amyloid-like fibrils, could bind to the protein-of-origin through homophilic sequence-specific zipper motifs. …”

Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…In this thesis, I propose a conformable ultrasound breast patch (cUSBr-Patch) consisting of a one-dimensional (1D) phased array and a nature-inspired patch design, which offers large-area, deep tissue scanning and multi-angle, repeatable breast imaging while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional ultrasound imaging technologies. I used a Yb/Bi-doped PIN-PMN-PT single crystal as the active element due to its superior piezoelectric properties (d33 = 2,800 pC/N, εr = 7,000, k33 = 0.93). …”
