Novel nitric oxide donors for the dispersal and control of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms by Poh, Wee Han

“…In addition, due to the involvement of NO in various pathological processes, several classes of NO donors with varying pharmacological properties have been developed for different treatments. In the case of biofilm control, two main classes of NO donor are typically used to induce biofilm dispersal, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and diazeniumdiolates (NONOates). …”

Finite element analysis of a free-standing concrete sea-wall as alternative to traditional land reclamation by Harris, Raymond

“…One key area of development in Singapore is through the creation of new land to satisfy the demand on land use in Singapore, commonly known as land reclamation. Having been practiced for decades, this technique of dumping sand or fill materials into the designated reclaimed area until an area of usable land emerges from the sea has successfully increased Singapore’s size by 20%. …”
