Micro-RBS study of nickel silicide formation by Lee, Pooi See, Sum, Tze Chien, Seng, H. L., Osipowicz, T., Mangelinck, D., Watt, F.

“…The patterned samples investigated consist of an array of square pads (View the MathML source) of the structure Ni(Pt)Six/Poly-Si (2000 Å)/SiO2 (2500 Å)/Si and narrow lines of 100 μm length and linewidths of 5 and 2 μm. μ-RBS (∼View the MathML source beam spot) was used to obtain the thickness and stoichiometry of the silicide films for the square pads. …”

Al2O3-Cu hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in the duct with various triangular rib configurations by Togun, Hussein, Homod, Raad Z., Sultan Aljibori, Hakim S., Abed, Azher M., Alias, Hajar, Hussein, Ahmed Kadhim, Biswal, Uddhaba, Al-Thamir, Mohaimen, Mahdi, Jasim M., Mohammed, Hayder I., Ahmadi, Goodarz

“…Key findings include: (1) the 60° rib configuration produced the highest local heat transfer coefficient, with the maximum occurring at the rib centers. (2) Increasing nanofluid concentration and Reynolds number enhanced heat transfer but reduced skin friction. (3) The optimal performance was achieved with 2 vol.% Al2O3–Cu at Re = 60,000. (4) Velocity contours revealed larger recirculation zones for 60° ribs compared to 45° and 90° configurations. (5) Turbulent kinetic energy was highest for 60° ribs, contributing to enhanced thermal performance. …”

Photocatalytic cement for air purification by Lee, Shih Yin.

“…For a greener approach, the adoption of GGBS as white cement replacement needs to be further discussed as well as it only managed to improve flexural property of white TiO2-ECC.…”

Mechanisms that promote the evolution of cross-reactive antibodies upon vaccination with designed influenza immunogens by Yang, Leerang, Caradonna, Timothy M, Schmidt, Aaron G, Chakraborty, Arup K

“…Here, we develop a computational model to interrogate antibody evolution by affinity maturation after immunization with two types of immunogens: a heterotrimeric "chimera" hemagglutinin that is enriched for the RBS epitope relative to other B cell epitopes and a cocktail composed of three non-epitope-enriched homotrimers of the monomers that comprise the chimera. …”

Use of ladle furnace slag containing heavy metals as a binding material in civil engineering by Xu, Bo, Yi, Yaolin

“…The results indicated NaOH, Na2SO4, and Na2SiO3 could not effectively activate this LS, with 28-day strength <2 MPa, whilst the LS-GGBS yielded much higher strength, up to 15.6 MPa at 28 days. …”
