Do dogs preferentially encode the identity of the target object or the location of others’ actions? by Lonardo, L, Völter, CJ, Hepach, R, Lamm, C, Huber, L

“…We conclude that dogs, lacking motor experience with the observed actions of grasping or kicking performed by a human or inanimate agent, might interpret such actions as directed toward a specific location rather than a specific object. …”

Colossal positive magnetoresistance in surface-passivated oxygen-deficient strontium titanite by David, Adrian, Tian, Yufeng, Yang, Ping, Gao, Xingyu, Lin, Weinan, Shah, Amish B., Zuo, Jian-Min, Prellier, Wilfrid, Wu, Tom

“…Here we report colossal positive magnetoresistance (CPMR) (>30,000% at a temperature of 2 K and a magnetic field of 9 T) discovered in degenerate semiconducting strontium titanite (SrTiO3) single crystals capped with ultrathin SrTiO3/LaAlO3 bilayers. The low-pressure high-temperature homoepitaxial growth of several unit cells of SrTiO3 introduces oxygen vacancies and high-mobility carriers in the bulk SrTiO3, and the three-unit-cell LaAlO3 capping layer passivates the surface and improves carrier mobility by suppressing surface-defect-related scattering. …”

Cytoplasmic long noncoding RNAs are frequently bound to and degraded at ribosomes in human cells by Carlevaro-Fita, Joana, Rahim, Anisa, Guigó, Roderic, Johnson, Rory, Vardy, Leah Karen Anne

“…Polysomal lncRNAs are distinguished by a number of 5′ mRNA-like features, including capping and 5′UTR length. On the other hand, nonpolysomal “free cytoplasmic” lncRNAs have more conserved promoters and a wider range of expression across cell types. …”

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals for light-emitting devices : from materials to device perspectives by Shendre, Sushant

“…A combination of the peripheral edge passivation through crown growth and a gradiently alloyed shell achieving flat surface capping, while also suppressing Auger recombination by smoothening the interface electrostatic potential, leads to the increased PL QY and makes surface chemical robustness possible. …”

Learning design for short-duration e-textile workshops: outcomes on knowledge and skills by Ioannou, Andri, Miliou, Ourania, Georgiou, Yiannis, Timotheou, Stella, Barkhuus, Louise, Rode, Jennifer

“…We further document a series of emerging challenges, including the children’s unwillingness to engage or lack of adeptness with software, a tension between aesthetics and construction, creativity limited by samples of previous e-textile projects, and the difficulty in grasping the materiality of e-textiles. We propose that some direct instruction and facilitation is not incompatible with the making ethos; the approach can help address these challenges, allowing young children to benefit from their participation in short-duration e-textile workshops.…”

A flexible endoscopic robotic suturing system for gastrointestinal perforations : animal study by Cao, Lin, Li, Xiaoguo, Phan, Phuoc Thien, Tiong, Anthony Meng Huat, Kaan, Hung Leng, Ho, Khek Yu, Chiu, Philip Wai Yan, Phee, Soo Jay

“…We developed a flexible endoscopic robotic suturing system which can endoscopically close gastrointestinal wounds with standard stitches and knots using a robotic suturing arm (Ø4.4 mm) and a grasping arm (Ø4.2 mm). Both arms are flexible, through-the-scope, and have five Degrees Of Freedom (DOFs). …”

Cryogelation of human hair keratins by Chua, Huei Min, Zhao, Zhitong, Ng, Kee Woei

“…Meanwhile, it is found that complete thiol-capping of HHK samples significantly inhibits cryogel formation as compared to partially or uncapped HHK samples, suggesting the dominant role of disulfide stabilization in cryogelation. …”

Molecular architecture of the Chikungunya virus replication complex by Tan, Yaw Bia, Chmielewski, David, Law, Michelle Cheok Yien, Zhang, Kuo, He, Yu, Chen, Muyuan, Jin, Jing, Luo, Dahai

“…Within the core RNA replicase, the viral polymerase nsP4, which is in complex with nsP2 helicase-protease, sits in the central pore of the membrane-anchored nsP1 RNA-capping ring. The addition of a large cytoplasmic ring next to the C terminus of nsP1 forms the holo-RNA-RC as observed at the neck of spherules formed in virus-infected cells. …”
