Behind the Two-Wheeled Vehicle: Understanding Riders' Behaviour in School Zones (S/O: 13058) by Abdul Hanan, Suhaila, Zainuddin, Nizamuddin, King, Mark, Lewis, Ioni

“…This most probably because school zones are congested with traffic, thus, the motorcyclists may ride safely and comply with the SZSL regardless the other things. Overall, the findings provide support for the application of the TPB to understand motorcyclists intention and behaviour in school zones. …”

Interaction of TiO2 and ZnO NPs with human skin cells by Gautam, Archana

“…Therefore, the goal of this study is to assess the physiological effects of TiO2 and ZnO NPs interactions with primary human epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts, with attention to accurate dosimetry measurements and particle solubility considerations. Since the current findings on NPs interaction with skin cells are mostly based on 2D monolayer cell culture and animal models, in this study, 3D human skin explants have also been used to better understand the effects of NPs in the skin tissue. …”

Analysis of lava flow impacts for use in risk assessments by Meredith, Elinor Siwan

“…Along with the 2018 Kīlauea assessment, I used this compiled dataset to assess relationships between lava flow thickness as a proxy for hazard intensity and damage severity, presenting the first empirically-derived and non-linear fragility functions for lava flow structure damage, for different structure types. The findings show a recent increase in recorded impact events, and that these events occur more frequently than previously thought, with almost three impact events, to population centres, per decade in the past 100 years. …”

Evaporation and crystallisation of saline droplet with surfactant on smooth surfaces by Wong, Dennis Kin Wai

“…Recommended future work could include exploring the effects of varying different concentrations of NaCl below the supersaturation concentration range (1-15% of NaCl) and varying different concentrations of surfactants at the critical micelle concentration (CMC) levels (1-1.5 CMC). This could potentially offer new insights into the evaporative and crystallisation behaviour of the droplets, as well as new deposition patterns.…”
