Thermal-disrupting interface mitigates intercellular cohesion loss for accurate topical antibacterial therapy by Hu, Benhui, Berkey, Christopher, Feliciano, Timothy, Chen, Xiaohong, Li, Zhuyun, Chen, Chao, Amini, Shahrouz, Nai, Mui Hoon, Lei, Qun-Li, Ni, Ran, Wang, Juan, Leow, Wan Ru, Pan, Shaowu, Li, Yong-Qiang, Cai, Pingqiang, Miserez, Ali, Li, Shuzhou, Lim, Chwee Teck, Wu, Yun-Long, Odom, Teri W., Dauskardt, Reinhold H., Chen, Xiaodong

“…Bacterial infections remain a leading threat to global health because of the misuse of antibiotics and the rise in drug-resistant pathogens. Although several strategies such as photothermal therapy and magneto-thermal therapy can suppress bacterial infections, excessive heat often damages host cells and lengthens the healing time. …”

Membrane structure-dependent limiting flux behavior and membrane selectivity loss during gypsum scaling : implications for pressure-retarded osmosis operation and membrane design by Fei, Jingyuan, Mai, Weiting, Cheng, Pak Shing, Shi, Jeffrey, Liu, Zongwen, She, Qianhong

“…We selected two typical osmotic membranes, thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide (PA) membrane and integrally asymmetric cellulose triacetate (CTA) membrane with different structures, for gypsum scaling tests in active-layer-facing-draw-solution orientation (an operating mode preferred for pressure-retarded osmosis). …”

Effects of preparation temperature on the conductivity of polypyrrole conducting polymer by Kassim, Anuar, Basar, Zarina, Mahmud, H.N.M. Ekramul

“…The results show that the polymer formed at low temperature has higher conductivity and is stronger than that formed at higher temperatures. Characterization by X-ray scattering shows that interlayer distance, dBragg (Å), increases with increasing temperature. …”

Numerical modeling of the influence of scour and scour protection on monopile dynamic behavior by Mayall, RO, Burd, HJ, McAdam, RA, Byrne, BW, Whitehouse, RJS, Heald, SG, Slater, PL

“…In cases where scour causes the natural frequency of the structure to become, for example, close to the range of rotor loading frequencies then - due to the increased risk of fatigue damage - turbine support structures are at risk of reduced operation, or even premature decommissioning. …”

An experimental and simulation study of chip transportation behaviour in gundrilling by Tnay, Guan Leong
