Kinematic analysis of an upper extremity stroke rehabilitation orthosis by Yang, Fang

“…Using this method, the designer could predict the motion of the hand and thus gain better control over the system. Cylindrical grasp is used as an example. This method also has some deficiencies, due to lack of the actual hand anatomy data for Singapore’s stroke patient, especially the joint angle of each finger bone, some assumptions and estimations are made. …”

Ligand effect on switching the rate-determining step of water oxidation in atomically precise metal nanoclusters by Liu, Zhihe, Tan, Hua, Li, Bo, Hu, Zehua, Jiang, De-en, Yao, Qiaofeng, Wang, Lei, Xie, Jianping

“…Herein, we employ atomically precise Au25 nanoclusters with different ligands (i.e., para-mercaptobenzoic acid, 6-mercaptohexanoic acid, and homocysteine) as paradigm electrocatalysts to demonstrate oxygen evolution reaction rate-determining step switching through ligand engineering. Au25 nanoclusters capped by para-mercaptobenzoic acid exhibit a better performance with nearly 4 times higher than that of Au25 NCs capped by other two ligands. …”

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. …”

Site-specific chemical and topological modifications to augment mRNA therapeutic potential by Aditham, Abhishek J.

“…We developed QRNAs, which are circRNAs that possess an unnaturally-linked inverted 7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap. QRNAs substantially outperform conventional circRNAs, given the low translation initiation efficiency of IRES compared to cap-dependent initiation. …”

An elastomer with ultrahigh strain-induced crystallization by Hartquist, Chase M, Lin, Shaoting, Zhang, James H, Wang, Shu, Rubinstein, Michael, Zhao, Xuanhe

“…However, the crystallinity induced by mechanical stretching in common elastomers (e.g., natural rubber) is typically below 20%, and the stretchability plateaus due to trapped entanglements. We report a class of elastomers formed by end-linking and then deswelling star polymers with low defects and no trapped entanglements, which achieve strain-induced crystallinity of up to 50%. …”

Biomechanical model of index finger by Fok, Kim Seng.

“…The model had been verified by means of three simulations: flexion-extension ofjoints, pinch grip and power grasp. The simulation also demonstrated the relevance of modelling passive forces generated by structures such as ligaments and soft tissues in order to accurately reproduce the force patterns of the finger seen during movement and static manipulative postures. …”
