Solubility studies of a viral proteins by Singh, Parvinder.

“…An X protein (HBx) is produced during the virus replication and in order to study its role in the progression of the virus, a regular continuous supply of pure bioactive HBx proteins is required. Presently, when HBx is produced recombinantly, they form inclusion bodies and this leads to very poor yields of bioactive HBx proteins. …”

Deisgn of a miniature pulsatile pump by Leong, Jolynn Jia Hui.

“…Magnets were used on the exterior of the acrylic piping which were attached to the linkages and hence connected to the motor. When the motor was switched on, the linkages rotated, causing a repeated linear action that is parallel to the pipe line. …”

The role of PTEN in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells mediated tumor cells suppression. by Toh, Xin Yi.

“…In parallel, isogenic glioma cell lines U251, which overexpresses wild-type PTEN upon tetracycline treatment, resulted in 1.43-fold glioma cell growth retardation when cultured in the presence of MSC. These gain-of-function experiments were in line with the findings in the loss-of-function experiments. …”

Rheology on CNT-filled polymer nanocomposites (II) by Chan, Xue Shuang.

“…A major focus was to investigate on the influence of acid-treated MWCNTs and pristine MWCNTs on the rheological properties of the composite system for different MWCNTs concentration. When acid-treated MWCNTs were added, the increase in dynamic moduli and viscosity were more significant as compared to the composite system containing pristine MWCNTs. …”

Theatre of the street : subverting otherness in photography. by Rr Apriani Kartika Dristiningsih.

“…I will be discussing the works of surrealist photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, as well as those from Jeff Wall and Philip-Lorca diCorcia to better understand how the photographed subjects can adopt the pose to subvert their Otherness when being photographed. In this discursive process, I will first explain how Cartier-Bresson defines the genre of street photography, where he coined the term the “decisive moment” – the opportune timing where all the elements within his vision form perfect geometry with each other. …”

Design and characterization of multiple-stimuli responsive shape memory hybrids by Tan, Jun Liang.

“…This shape-memory hybrid will later be used in the experiments for the testing of shape recoverability when subjected to the two stimuli. Concise methodologies were carried out and the results show that this hybrid responds insignificantly to the impact stimuli but surprisingly, able to achieve considerably high recovery of its shape in response to the water stimuli. …”
