Selective fluoride removal from groundwater using CNT-CeO2 electrodes in capacitive deionization (CDI) by Liu, Xun, Rehman, Danyal, Shu, Yufei, Liu, Bei, Wang, Li, Li, Li, Wang, Mengxia, Wang, Kunkun, Han, Qi, Zang, Linlin, Lienhard, John H., Wang, Zhongying

“…Moreover, EQCM results show a substantial increase in both mass and current as the potential increased beyond 0.8 V vs Ag/AgCl, implying that the current surge is not a result of water splitting but rather the adsorption of F− onto the CNT-CeO2 electrode. …”

Mechanical polishing of fan blade by a prototype random-orbital tool by Danaraj, Edgar Jeevan

“…The criteria require surface roughness, Ra, between 0.8 to 1.0 µm and maximum height profile Rz, between 5.0 to 6.0 µm for post-polishing condition, while maintaining low material removal rate to prevent under-thickness of the fan blade. …”

Removal of nitrogen using different carbon source by Chen, Yimin.

“…Some important parameters to optimize denitrification process are: DO concentration to be less than 0.3mg/L, pH range between 6.5 to 8.5, temperature range of 20°C to 30°C. During the experiment, the analysis tests involved were NH4+, NO2- and NO3- concentration, pH value, TSS, VSS, SVI, TOC, particle size and SEM. …”

Simulation-based passenger evacuation optimization in metro stations considering multi-objectives by Guo, Kai, Zhang, Limao

“…Especially under the high passenger volume conditions, the passenger density could reach up to 6.2 unit/m2 (extremely dangerous); (2) An average improvement degree, 7.5%, can be achieved for the optimization of 20 test cases, and a maximum improvement degree, 22.5%, can be achieved for the evacuation optimization at metro stations; (3) It could be difficult to keep both of the evacuation time and density within the standards if one major exit is closed, even after the optimization. …”

Making public transport the choice mode by Tan, Siew Fong

“…From our findings, we also noted that there is significant difference in the responses between heavy and non-heavy bus users on having a bus stop within a 5 minute walk from home. Results also suggest that the highest satisfaction rating with regards to the level of importance is accessibility, with reliability being the least satisfied. …”

Indefinite metamaterials for optical applications by Bisht, Ankit

“…Using full-wave Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations with diffraction limited trimer, quadrumer and ringed objects etched on thin perfect electric conductor (PEC) films, we show that the hyperlens model can achieve magnification factors of up to 10X in the far-field (~4.5λ from object’s surface) under a light source with a wavelength of 1 μm, with successful resolution down to 220 nm (~λ/5). …”
