Study of remediation of heavy metals contaminated sediments with hydrothermal technology and sediment washing facilitated by chelating agents by Wong, Angeline Shou Yee.

“…Hydrothermal treatment has a greater impact on removal of Pb and Zn and Ni, has a moderately low impact on Cu and has the least impact on As, Cr and Cd. Depending on the hydrothermal treatment method, removal of heavy metals by EDTA may be higher or lower in comparison to sediment washing alone.…”

Using Sequenom to identify KRAS mutations in an Asian cohort of ovarian mucinous cancer by Tiong, Wen Ning

“…KRAS mutations have been observed to occur in relatively high frequencies of 50-60% in mEOC but not in other subtypes of EOC in at least three clinical studies. To determine the frequency of KRAS mutations in an Asian cohort of mEOC, a pilot study of 26 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) mEOC samples obtained from Kandang Kerbau Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) was conducted using Sequenom MassArray. …”

Futurism: performance and performativity of a movement by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig

“…What is less talked about is the overall performativity (Van Hantelmann, 2014) of Futurism, beyond the confines of literal performances to a theatre-going audience: such performativity manifests itself in a wide range of futurist expressions, not least their notorious manifestos. In this contribution, originally developed to support the exhibition 'Futurismi Contemporanei' at Villa Valmarana and Palazzo Donà delle Rose in Venice curated by Michele Citro and Andrea Guastella (2024), Dr Jacek Ludwig Scarso draws on the performance and performative strategies employed by Futurism in subverting the cultural status quo and promoting the concept of a 'total artwork'. …”
