Synthesis and reactivity of electron-deficient phosphorus(III) compounds by Dordevic, Nemanja

“…Transient formation of [1a]2+ and [1b]2+ is evidenced by activating C-F bonds of trifluorotoluene and [BArF4]- (ArF = (CF3)2-C6H3) anion. The replacement of carbodiphosphorane 1 with more nucleophilic and sterically less demanding carbodicarbene ligand {C6H4(MeN)2C}2C, 2 resulted in a series of P-dications [{C6H4(MeN)2C}2C.PR]2+ (R = NiPr2, Ph, OMe, tBu, Cl) whose spectroscopic and structural features are presented. …”

Development of superhydrophobic ceramic membrane decorated with flake-like structure by two-step synthesis for seawater desalination by membrane distillation by Omar, Najib Meftah Almukhtar, Othman, Mohd. Hafiz Dzarfan, Tai, Zhong Sheng, Puteh, Mohd. Hafiz, Wong, Keng Yinn, Tan, Huiyi, Tonni Agustiono Kurniawan, Tonni Agustiono Kurniawan, Ooi, Boon Seng, Nomura, Mikihiro, Iwamoto, Yuji

“…It displayed contact angles (CAs) of 155.9° for water, 144° for water/ethanol, 129° for palm oil, and 112° for engine oil, with a liquid entry pressure (LEP) of 5.2 bar Furthermore, the membrane performance was tested in a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) at 70 °C using a solution that simulated real seawater conditions, including sodium chloride (NaCl) at 35 g/L, sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) at 1.2 g/L, sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) at 1 g/L, and humic acid at 8 mg/L. …”

Thermodynamic modelling of adsorption isotherms and kinetics for gas storage and cooling applications by Sun, Baichuan

“…The experimental setup is extensively utilised to measure the amount of methane uptake for the temperatures ranging from 120 K to 303 K and pressures up to 10 bar. The proposed isotherm model is validated with the experimental data of silica gel + water and AQSOA-Z01, Z02, Z05 + water systems, and explains the S-shaped isotherms within acceptable error ranges (±5%), as compared with Langmuir and Toth isotherm equations. …”

Electrical machine fault analysis and modelling by using electromagnetic approach by Zhang, Meng Qi

“…The study in this thesis indicates that the stator inter-turn winding short-circuit fault can also result in irreversi-ble demagnetization for the bar-wounded permanent magnet machines. Moreover, an analytical model is designed to predict winding short-circuit current, which significantly reduce the time required by finite element method to assess machine irreversible demagnetization. …”

“…The analysis of the combined data sets excludes, at 95% confidence level, a Sequential Standard Model Z[' over SSM] resonance lighter than 2590 GeV, a superstring-inspired Z[' over ψ] lighter than 2260 GeV, and Kaluza–Klein gravitons lighter than 2390 (2030) GeV, assuming that the coupling parameter k/[bar over M][subscript Pl] is 0.10 (0.05). These are the most stringent limits to date.…”

Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…To shed light on the FRP bond-slip behaviour under high loading rates (above 800 mm/s), the author proposed a novel experimental method for high loading-rate impact tests using a modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) set-up. Dynamic enhancing effect on ultimate load, shear bond stress and shear fracture energy could be quantified for a wide range of loading rates varying from 0.02 mm/s to 2150 mm/s. …”

Establishment of optimise strategies in production of recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen for chip-based antibody detection approach by Tam, Yew Joon

“…From the results, an optimised cell disruption strategy with up-scale adaptability consisted of a number of passes set at 20 times, biomass concentration of 7.70 g/L of dry cell weight (DCW) and pulse pressure at 1,029 bar was demonstrated and was shown to increase cell disruption efficiency by 2- fold and 4-fold for specific protein release of HBsAg when compared to glass bead method yielding 75.68% cell disruption rate (CDR) and HBsAg concentration of 29.20 mg/L, respectively. …”
