Barium aluminate improved iron ore for the chemical looping combustion of syngas by Wang, Haiming, Dou, Xiaomin, Veksha, Andrei, Liu, Wen, Giannis, Apostolos, Ge, Liya, Lim, Teik-Thye, Lisak, Grzegorz

“…Based on complementary characterization analyses, we found that more oxygen vacancies were formed in the modified OC due to the oxygen non-stoichiometry nature of the BaAl2O4 and its interaction with the iron oxide species. This interaction facilitated the rapid migration of the lattice oxygen in the bulk phase, thereby enhancing the reactivity and increasing the oxygen transport capacity of the OCs. …”

The opioid receptor influences circadian rhythms in human keratinocytes through the β-arrestin pathway by Bigliardi, Paul, Junnarkar, Seetanshu, Markale, Chinmay, Lo, Sydney, Bigliardi, Elena, Kalyuzhny, Alex, Ong, Sheena, Dunn, Ray, Wahli, Walter, Bigliardi-Qi, Mei

“…Furthermore, we observed that β-arrestin-1 regulates the transcription of its target genes, including PER2, by facilitating histone-4 acetylation. Through the ChIP assay, we determined that Met-Enkephalin enhances β-arrestin-1 binding to acetylated H4 in the PER2 promoter. …”

The history of Koi aquaculture in Singapore from 1965 to the present : translating translocated scientific knowledge from Japan into biosecurity by Tan, Delfinn Sweimay

“…The protocol was then transferred to Singapore and officials used a militarized concept of disease to translate the protocol into biosecurity regulations. This facilitated the formation of new koi-cultivation practices in the form of strict quarantine and certification measures that impacted farm practices and eventually the ornamental fish aquaculture industry in general. …”

GPU-Oriented Algorithms for Continuous Energy Monte Carlo Neutron Transport by Ridley, Gavin

“…Adapting a full-physics, continuous energy MC neutron transport simulation for GPUs is a feat only completed by a few institutions across the world, so we share some software development tricks that facilitated this task. We then identify a variety of algorithmic optimizations that improved the performance of the baseline CUDA application, and identify areas for further development. 3 Based on experience adapting a full-physics continuous energy MC code for GPU, we identify two pieces of the simulation which can be improved for GPU computing: resonance upscatter handling and unresolved resonance modeling. …”
