Superfluid fountain effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate by Karpiuk, Tomasz, Grémaud, Benoît, Miniatura, Christian, Gajda, Mariusz

“…We consider a simple experimental setup, based on a harmonic confinement, where a Bose-Einstein condensate and a thermal cloud of weakly interacting alkali-metal atoms are trapped in two different vessels connected by a narrow channel. …”

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. …”

Population study on the freshwater crabs in Nee Soon swamp forest, Singapore. by Woo, Chia Mun.

“…Study was performed by hand and trap sampling in eight sites for four cycles. All four species were encountered in this study, with Parathelphusa maculata (P. maculata) as the most abundant species appearing at most sites, followed by Parathelphusa reticulata (P. reticulata), Irmengardia johnsoni (I. johnsoni) and Geosesarma peraccae (G. peraccae). …”

Systems medicine disease : disease classification and scalability beyond networks and boundary conditions by Berlin, Richard, Gruen, Russell, Best, James

“…Traditional classification methods remain trapped by history; to provide the descriptive features that are required for a comprehensive description of disease, systems science, which realizes dynamic processes, adaptive response, and asynchronous communication channels, must be applied (Wolkenhauer et al., 2013). …”

Farm-Scale Water Storage in Morocco: Low-Carbon Design with Parametric FEA Optimization by Trézarieu, Raphaël

“…Rising temperatures have resulted in drier and denser soil, causing water to be trapped on the surface and evaporate. One solution is to shift water management from large-scale to farm-scale. …”

Finding meaning behind immortality of Anne Rice’s vampires. by Nurhayati Zakaria.

“…This paper investigates the alluring appeal of immortality through the exploration of humans’ instinctive anxieties against death; it shows how experience in life shapes an individual’s personality and character which in turn is fossilized and magnified during his or her immortal existence; and finally illustrates how the very nature of being trapped in a state of arrested development renders the disenchanted vampire’s perspective of immortality as one that is more limiting rather than liberating.…”

Electrical charge transport and optical properties of iron pyrite by Shukla, Sudhanshu

“…Charge carrier dynamics in nanocube thin film revealed fast carrier localization and long-lived trap states in the pure pyrite. Temperature dependent electrical and magnetic behaviors supported the existence of intrinsic localized gap states. …”

New derivatives of polyglutamic acid as drug carrier systems by Hoste, K, Schacht, E, Seymour, L

“…Dynamic light-scattering measurements and surface tension measurements indicated that phase separation of dextran/PHEG and PEG occurs on a molecular level in the conjugates and results in the formation of aggregates with a PEG core in which free PEG can be trapped. Blood clearance and body distribution studies were performed on female BALB/c mice. …”

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. …”

The effects of processing conditions on the morphology of single conjugated polymers. by Yeo, Hui Lin.

“…Spun-cast single chains were largely found to give neat intensity traces exhibiting discrete emission levels and clear off-states, suggesting a compact and collapsed disordered conformation favoring efficient energy funneling to one or a few low-energy exciton traps. These emissive centers of the collapsed chain were proposed to be intrachain aggregates consisting of closely π-stacked segments, therefore possessing weak oscillator strength and an extended radiative lifetime. …”
