Navigating New Horizons: Mapping the Global Technical Potential and Exploring the Material Demand of Offshore Floating Urban Dwellings: A GIS-based Approach Integrating Technical and Motivational Perspectives to Provide Insights into the Global Technical Potential and Associated Material Demand of Modular Floating Structures and Circular Floating Breakwaters as a Proposed Alternative for Sustainable Coastal Communities

Modular Floating Structures (MFS) have emerged as an innovative alternative for sustainable offshore urban development, providing a response to the multifaceted challenges posed by coastal urban expansion: significant urban growth and coastal migration, increasing sea-level rise exposure and land scarcity. This thesis presents a geographically...

Measurement of cooling rate during plunge freezing of sample preparation in cryo electron microscopy

Plunge freezing is used as a sample preparation method to freeze biological samples in a vitrified thin water layer of <500nm. Typically sample is loaded on thin (<10nm) carbon membranes of a copper mesh grid. The vitrified biological sample is imaged using high resolution cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-EM).The common...
