Developing a portable, high-speed, low-cost desktop photoacoustic tomography imaging system by Kalva, Sandeep Kumar

“…Therefore, to improve the imaging speed, we have used PLD along with 8 SUTRs rotating in 45 degree (instead of 1 SUTR rotating in 360 degree) and obtained a high scan speed of 0.5 s in vivo. Experimentally, all these transducers cannot be placed exactly at the same distance from the scanning center manually. …”

GE-25 : effects of GGBS and lime/MgO on the engineering properties of Kaolin by Chua, Serene Jie Lin

“…A series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the changes in the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of the modified soil and these tests include unconfined compression test and the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). In all, the influence of the type of stabiliser, binder content, Lime:GGBS ratio and curing period on the UCS of the specimens were addressed in this report. …”
