Investigating the charge separation and transport in iron based photoanodes for solar-driven water splitting by Bassi, Prince Saurabh

“…It is proposed that surface mediated water oxidation was enhanced for the heterojunction films which allowed firstly the trapping of holes in the surface states and secondly facile transfer of these holes into the electrolyte for water oxidation. …”

Tropical peat subsidence, nutrient losses and oil palm seedling growth due to different water table depths by Abubakar, Safiyanu Hashim

“…The system was made of exchange chamber of air pump with the flow rate ranges between 1 and 3.5 L min-1, exchange chamber of (2670 mL plastic container) and a trap (250 mL Erlenmeyer flask). Ammonia loss from the soil was collected using a boric acid by air flow circulation that was passed through the exchange chamber into a trapping flask containing 75 mL boric acid mixed with bromocresol green and methyl red indicator. …”

Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…I confirm the samples to be phase pure via X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), with Cs3Bi2I9 and Cs3Sb2I9 having a 0D-structured hexagonal phase (P63/mmc space group) while Cs3Bi2Br9 and Cs3Sb2Br9 are 2D-structured (P3 ̅m1 space group). …”

In-situ infrared spectroscopy studies of surface reactions over irradiated photocatalysts by Gong, Dangguo

“…However, deviations from the power law are attributed to partial trapping at surface Ti4+ sites. Under inert gas, and depending on the humidity level, photo-adsorption of water is promoted by surface-trapped holes and repelled (or substantially weakened) by surface-trapped electrons. …”

In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…Going through the chain of events leading to the fateful encounter, he does not remember the acrobats with gold-capped teeth or the jugglers with six arms, nor the thousand more inventions so ingenious and unusual that his father wanted to invent a memory machine so that he could remember them all; in the critical moments right before his death, the other events are fleeting, yet “for the first time since his youth he knowingly fell into a trap of nostalgia and relived that prodigious afternoon of the gypsies when his father took him to see ice” (García Márquez 266-267). …”

Is psychological capital the same in Singapore? : an exploration of psychological capital and its relationship with engagement in an Asian context by Aw, Cherie Qiu Ying, Seah, Charlene Kai Qi, Lee, Alex Yi

“…The results indicated that the higher-order PsyCap core factor predicted engagement. Further analyses revealed that defensive pessimism is a better predictor of engagement than optimism because defensive pessimism, efficacy, hope and resilience were better able to predict engagement than the composite PsyCap. …”

Lab-to-Market Design of an Electrodialysis-Based Home-Scale Water Desalination System by Floryan, Marie, Bowers, Quinn, Sternberg, Zachary, Gembali, Sahas, Goyal, Akshita, Bessette, Jonathan, Honarparvar, Soraya, Winter, Amos

“…Two critical design modules within the desalinator are explored — the system integration and fluid reversal mechanism and the electrodialysis stack end cap analysis. We developed a model framework that will output the validity of end cap designs based on established design requirements, designed fluid reversal mechanisms for distinct markets, and fabricated a prototype desalination cabinet that fits within the EFL’s design constraints. …”

Chromosome integrity : a major determinant of mitotic cell death in cancer treatment by Lai, Soak Kuan

“…During prolonged mitotic arrest, caspase-3 is activated and it cleaves condensin I subunit, Cap-H. Absence of Cap-H on the chromosomes compromises chromosome integrity, making them susceptible to degradation by caspase-activated DNase. …”

Modeling of Mechanical Stress Exerted by Cholesterol Crystallization on Atherosclerotic Plaques by Luo, Yuemei, Cui, Dongyao, Yu, Xiaojun, Chen, Si, Liu, Xinyu, Tang, Hongying, Wang, Xianghong, Liu, Linbo

“…The results demonstrate that (1) the peak circumference stress is proportionally dependent on the cholesterol crystal growth; (2) cholesterol crystals at the cap shoulder impose the highest peak circumference stress; and (3) spatial distributions of cholesterol crystals have a significant impact on the peak circumference stress: evenly distributed cholesterol crystals exert less peak circumferential stress on the cap than concentrated crystals.…”

Addition of macrolide antibiotics for hospital treatment of community-acquired pneumonia by Wei, J, Walker, S, Eyre, D

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> At a population level, the addition of macrolides was not associated with improved clinical outcomes for CAP patients. The potential advantages of combining macrolides with a β-lactam antibiotic in CAP treatment should be balanced against the risks of adverse effects and antimicrobial resistance.…”
