Electrochemical microfluidic multiplexed bioanalysis by a highly active bottlebrush-like nanocarbon microelectrode by Xu, Yun, Huang, Wei, Zhang, Yan, Duan, Hongwei, Xiao, Fei

“…The structural characteristics, high catalytic activities, and favorable biocompatibility of the bottlebrush nanocarbon electrodes provide opportunities for multichannel, microfluidic detection of redox-active biomolecules, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), dopamine (DA), uric acid (UA), and ascorbic acid (AA), and have been applied to on-chip monitoring of H2S and DA released from live cancer cells or neuroblastoma cells and DA, UA, and AA in trace amounts of body fluids such as sweat, finger blood, tears, saliva, and urine, which is of great significance for clinical diagnosis and prognosis in point-of-care testing.…”

Impact of BREXIT on key stakeholders of the maritime industry in UK by Ching, Claudia Loke Wei

“…The role of UK in the global maritime industry is essential and significant, given its prevalence in the establishment of shipping routes that connects Europe to major regions in the world. With the first trace of trade relations surfacing in 1973, UK also doubles as a connecting network for key economies in the world to conduct trade with the EU. …”

Slip along the San Andreas fault associated with the great 1857 earthquake by Sieh, Kerry

“…Fault slip apparently associated with the 1857 earthquake varies in a broadly systematic way along the trace of the fault. It is relatively uniform along each of several long segments, but changes rather abruptly in value between these segments. …”

Classical lyricism in Italian and North American 20th-century poetry by Piantanida, C

“…</p> <p>The analysis concentrates on translations and appropriations of Sappho and Catullus in four case studies: Giovanni Pascoli (1855-1912) and Salvatore Quasimodo (1901-1968) in Italy; Ezra Pound (1885-1972) and Anne Carson (b. 1950) in North America. I first trace the poetic reception of Sappho and Catullus in the oeuvres of the four authors separately. …”

Geochemical and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic evidence for Cenozoic partial melting of mantle beneath Natanz, Central Iran by Babazadeh, S, D'Antonio, M, Raeisi, D, Furman, T, Santosh, M, Di Renzo, V, Klötzli, U, Choi, SH, Ghalamghash, J, Cottle, JM, Palin, R

“…Combined modelling of trace element and isotopic data suggests that the most mafic Natanz magmas could have formed through ∼5% melting of a source comprising 99% depleted mantle +1% sediment, with the melts modified subsequently by ∼3% contamination by Cadomian upper crustal components. …”

Meeting in the middle: a multi-level analysis of Chinese HIV civil organisations by Galler, S

“…Third, HIV civil organisations engage in detached, informal, and interactive collaboration with state actors, enabling greater autonomy and innovation among civil actors and reducing risk for state actors. I trace interactions between these strategic activities at the levels of organisational activities, structures, and networks, finding that reproducing ambiguity can sustain new types of collaborations.…”

Political championship: understanding African state effectiveness and Sino-African infrastructure development by Wang, Y

“…To empirically examine the political championship theory and two competing theories: the external agency and the bureaucratic capacity arguments, I trace the process of three Chinese-funded and -constructed railway projects: the Standard Gauge Railway in Kenya, the Addis-Djibouti Railway in Ethiopia, and the Caminho de Ferro de Benguela in Angola. …”

Enrichment of benzo(a)pyrene in milk by saponification-solvent microextraction by Lim, Khai Wei, Khor, Zhi Zhong, Wan Mohd Khalik, Wan Mohd Afiq, Kamaruzaman, Sazlinda

“…Under optimal conditions, the linearity of the method was established in the range of 0.25 to 5 µg L-1 with the correlation of determination = 0.9939. The ultra-trace limit of detection and limit of quantification were obtained as 0.02 and 0.07 µg L-1, respectively. …”

The Mapping Imaging Spectrometer for Europa (MISE) by Blaney, Diana L., Hibbitts, Karl, Diniega, Serina, Davies, Ashley G., Clark, Roger N., Green, Robert O., Hedman, Matthew, Langevin, Yves, Lunine, Jonathan, McCord, Thomas B., Murchie, Scott, Paranicas, Chris, Seelos, Frank, Soderblom, Jason M., Cable, Morgan L.

“…MISE will detect illumination from 0.8 to 5 μm with 10 nm spectral resolution, a spatial sampling of 25 m per pixel at 100 km altitude, and 300 cross-track pixels, enabling discrimination among the two principal states of water ice on Europa, identification of the main non-ice components of interest: salts, acids, and organics, and detection of trace materials as well as some thermal signatures. …”

Understanding electrostatic interaction on strong cation-exchanger via co-ion valency effects by Essert, GM, de Souza, JP, Schwaminger, SP, Bazant, MZ, Berensmeier, S

“…While it depends on the concentration, valency, and size of the counterion, we derived that the expansion of the EDL is indicated by different valencies of the carboxylate co-ions in trace amounts. Our findings provide a self-consistent theory of the transport phenomena in a solid/fluid system with all parameters specified with the physical properties of the chromatographic process. …”

What the visual system can learn from the non-dominant hand: The effect of graphomotor engagement on visual discrimination by Ben-Ami, Shlomit, Buaron, Batel, Yaron, Ori, Keane, Kyle, Sun, Virginia H., Phillips, Flip, Friedman, Jason, Sinha, Pawan, Mukamel, Roy

“…Moreover, graphomotor training with the non-dominant hand resulted in visual discrimination improvements comparable to those of dominant hand training, despite the inherent differences between hands in motor performance and in the amount of improvement in shape tracing throughout training. We conclude that the motor components of graphomotor activity may not be critical for visual learning of shapes through tracing activity. …”

Electrochemical Methods for Water Purification, Ion Separations, and Energy Conversion by Alkhadra, Mohammad A, Su, Xiao, Suss, Matthew E, Tian, Huanhuan, Guyes, Eric N, Shocron, Amit N, Conforti, Kameron M, de Souza, J Pedro, Kim, Nayeong, Tedesco, Michele, Khoiruddin, Khoiruddin, Wenten, I Gede, Santiago, Juan G, Hatton, T Alan, Bazant, Martin Z

“…Perhaps the greatest advantage of electrochemical methods, however, is that they remove contaminants directly from the water, while other technologies extract the water from the contaminants, which enables efficient removal of trace pollutants. The review begins with an overview of conventional electrochemical methods, which drive chemical or physical transformations via Faradaic reactions at electrodes, and proceeds to a detailed examination of the two primary mechanisms by which contaminants are separated in nondestructive electrochemical processes, namely electrokinetics and electrosorption. …”
