Inclusion of cross-linked elastin in gelatin/PEG hydrogels favourably influences fibroblast phenotype by Cao, Ye, Lee, Bae Hoon, Irvine, Scott Alexander, Wong, Yee Shan, Peled, Havazelet Bianco, Venkatraman, Subramanian

“…The inclusion of elastin into a previously optimized gelatin–PEG hydrogel was then evaluated for effects on entrapped fibroblasts, with the aim to assess the hydrogel as an extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking 3D microenvironment for cellular guidance. …”

A robust two-phase heuristic algorithm for the truck scheduling problem in a resource-constrained crossdock by Shakeri, Mojtaba., Low, Malcolm Yoke Hean., Turner, Stephen John., Lee, Eng Wah.

“…The resources are assumed non-preemptive making it necessary to address the feasibility of the problem before its optimality as it might be entrapped in deadlock and no feasible solution is produced. …”

Bond order resolved 3d 5/2 and valence band chemical shifts of Ag surfaces and nanoclusters by Sun, Changqing, Qin, Wei, Wang, Yan, Huang, Yongli, Zhou, Zhaofeng, Yang, Chao

“…It is clarified that the globally positive energy shifts originate from the undercoordination-induced Goldschmidt–Pauling bond contraction and the associated local quantum entrapment and the heterocoordination-induced bond nature alteration at the particle–substrate interfaces. …”

Performance Guarantees for Spectral Initialization in Rotation Averaging and Pose-Graph SLAM by Doherty, Kevin J., Rosen, David M., Leonard, John J.

“…SLAM and rotation averaging are typically formalized as large-scale nonconvex point estimation problems, with many bad local minima that can entrap the smooth optimization methods typically applied to solve them; the performance of standard SLAM and RA algorithms thus crucially depends upon the quality of the estimates used to initialize this local search. …”

Unconventional exhibitions of desire. by Ng, Hwei Yun.

“…Cixous urges women to write or remain suppressed and entrapped in their own bodies. Women have their own private language when they write through their bodies, because it is writing that is inherently female and less easily understood by men. …”

Waffle-inspired hydrogel-based macrodevice for spatially controlled distribution of encapsulated therapeutic microtissues and pro-angiogenic endothelial cells by Pham, Chi H. L., Zuo, Yicong, Chen, Yang, Tran, Nam M., Nguyen, Dang T., Dang, Tram T.

“…The waffle-inspired grid-like micropattern of the "lock" component effectively entraps insulin-secreting microtissues in controlled locations while the interlocking design places them in a co-planar spatial arrangement with close proximity to vascular-inductive cells. …”

Bond and electronic relaxation dynamics of graphene, gold clusters, and water ice by Zhang, Xi

“…Size-dependent surface bond contraction, potential well depression, electron and energy entrapment and valence band polarization of Au nanoclusters and nanocages were also verified by DFT calculations and BOLS-TB analysis. …”

Investigation of the recyclability of applications involving MgO cement by Lim, Chin Haow

“…Thus, the strength loss observed in recycled mix could be correlated with: (i) the size reduction of aggregate, (ii) the formation of weak Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) around aggregate, (iii) the reduction of free MgO cement content as some of the MgO cement has entrapped in ITZ and (iv) the change of MgO cement reactivity after calcination. …”

Development of red/near-infrared fluorescent molecules and macromolecules for biomedical applications by Yang, Cangjie

“…The hydrophobic layer of side chain was used to physically entrap drugs for chemotherapy. To address the potential problem of drug leakage, we utilized amphiphilic random copolymers containing drug-modified units as side chain of conjugated polymers instead in Chapter 7. …”

Sanctions with Chinese characteristics : the effects of China's sanctions rhetoric on its behaviour by Poh, Angela Ming Yan

“…Drawing from the existing literature on audience costs and rhetorical entrapment, I develop a theory to explain why, how and when states’ rhetoric affects foreign policy behaviour, including the ways in which sanctions are employed. …”

Enlightening of the low-dimensional high-TC superconductivity: bond contraction and electron dual polarization [低维高温超导的启示: 键收缩与电子双重极化] by Sun, Chang Qing

“…The dual polarization weakens the O:Cup interactions and lowers the vibration frequency of the Cup, reducing the effective mass of the CuP electrons with high group velocity for carrier transport between the adjacent O-Cu planes that are made of atomic vacancies and dipoles. The self-entrapment of the core and bonding electrons, and the localized polarization and O:Cup weakening may describe the effect of electron-phonon coupling. …”
