    This third report in the series captures the rich and insightful discussions arising from Professor Ruth Hayhoe’s visit to NIE in her appointment as the 7th CJ Koh Professor from 30 April to 4 May 2012. A comparative scholar who specialises in the field of comparative education in China, Prof Hayhoe delivered two lectures while here. A roundtable symposium was also organised in conjunction with her visit, where peers from Finland, Korea, Hong Kong, the United States, and colleagues from NIE engaged in dialogue about how their countries’ education systems continually innovate to stay on the top of their league

    Chitosan coatings could effectively increase the biostability and biocompatibility of biomaterials while maintaining their structural integrity. In this study, electrospun fibrous polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) membranes were pre-treated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and then modified with dopamine (DA) and glutaraldehyde (GA) to improve their adhesion with chitosan (CS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angles (WCA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to demonstrate the successful generation of DA and GA-modified PHB fibers. KOH pre-treated PHB membranes exhibited superior binding efficiency with CS at low concentrations compared to their H2O2 pre-treated counterparts. The thermal analysis demonstrated a considerable decrease in the degradation temperature and crystallinity of KOH pre-treated membranes, with temperatures dropping from 309 °C to 265.5 °C and crystallinity reducing from 100% to 25.59% as CS concentration increased from 0 to 2 w/v%. In comparison, H2O2 pre-treated membranes experienced a mild reduction in degradation temperature, from 309 °C to 284.4 °C, and a large decrease in crystallinity from 100% to 43%. UV-vis analysis using Cibacron Brilliant Red 3B-A dye (CBR) indicated similar binding efficiencies at low CS concentrations for both pre-treatments, but decreased stability at higher concentrations for KOH pre-treated membranes. Mechanical testing revealed a considerable increase in Young’s modulus (2 to 14%), toughness (31 to 60%), and ultimate tensile stress (UTS) (14 to 63%) for KOH-treated membranes compared with H2O2 pre-treated membranes as CS concentration increased from 0 to 2 w/v%

    A kinetic study of the leaching of a low-grade niobium-tantalum ore by concentrated KOH solution

    A kinetic study of the leaching of a low-grade niobium-tantalum ore by concentrated KOH solution under atmospheric pressure has been investigated. The effects of reaction temperature, KOH concentration, agitation speed, particle size and alkalito-ore mass ratio on the dissolution rate of niobium were examined. It was found that the dissolution rate of niobium is significantly influenced by the temperature, particle size and concentration of KOH solution. The experimental data were well interpreted with a shrinking core model under diffusion control through the product layer. By using the Arrhenius expression, the apparent activation energy for the dissolution of niobium was evaluated. Finally, on the basis of the shrinking core model, the following rate equation was established

    Ionospheric signals from sub-ionospheric radio transmissions on 2016 August 27

    No full text
    Data collected from a wideband radio receiver in Bath, UK was analysed to obtain ionospheric signals from narrow band sub-ionospheric radio transmissions. The transmissions analysed in the dataset are callsigns GBZ (19.58kHz), GQD (22.1kHz), DHO (23.4kHz) and MSF (60kHz). The ionospheric signals reveal perturbations in the ionosphere along the propagation paths of the transmissions during the period of measurement on 2016 August 27. The dataset includes the processed ionospheric signals in Matlab binary format together with scripts that were used to obtain the ionospheric signals from the raw radio data.The experiment and wideband radio receiver are described in Koh et al. 2019 (doi: 10.1029/2019JA026863).The processing to obtain the VLF transmission disturbance is described in Koh et al. 2018 (doi:10.1002/2017RS006456) and Koh et al. 2019 (doi: 10.1029/2019JA026863)Matlab 2014

    KOH-Induced Oxygen-Deficient VO<sub>2</sub> for High-Rate Aqueous Zn-Ion Batteries

    No full text
    Due to its high safety and low cost, aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) have become one of the most promising energy storage devices. However, the development of a stable cathode with fast kinetics and high-energy density is crucial to realize AZIBs for large-scale application. In this work, KOH-induced oxygen-deficient VO2 (K-VO2) was developed by activating doughnutlike VO2 by KOH. Benefiting from the combination of a unique morphology with abundant active sites and the oxygen vacancy, increasing the interlayer spacing, both improved kinetics and enhanced Zn-ion storage capability in the VO2 cathode are achieved. The optimized K-VO2-3:4 delivers a specific capacity of 260.9 mA h g–1 at 0.2 A g–1, an excellent high-rate capability of 166.1 mA h g–1 at 5 A g–1, and long-term cyclic stability with a capacity retention of 88.1% after 3000 cycles. The electrochemical performance of K-VO2-3:4 has been greatly improved compared with untreated VO2. The KOH activation strategy proposed here also presents an encouraging pathway for developing other high-energy and stable cathodes
