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. …”

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.…”

Semiconducting photothermal nanoagonist for remote-controlled specific cancer therapy by Zhen, Xu, Xie, Chen, Jiang, Yuyan, Ai, Xiangzhao, Xing, Bengang, Pu, Kanyi

“…Multiple transient activation of TRPV1 channels is essential to induce such a cell death both in vitro and in vivo because both free Cap and simple Cap-encapsulated nanoparticles fail to do so. …”

Study of degradation mechanisms in SiON gate dielectric film subjected to negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) stress by Kang, Chun Wei.

“…And, we have shown that stress-induced leakage current shares the same defect origin with the switching hole trap related to NBTI. Gate leakage current remains the same before and after nominal NBTI condition when no transformation of E’ center occurs although interface traps has been significantly generated. …”
