Introduction — a roundtable on The Woman of Colour (1808) : pedagogic and critical approaches (Roundtable) by Sinanan, Kerry

“…While the novel remains in many ways trapped within the plot conventions and gendered norms of the Romantic period, it simultaneously rejects them and offers trajectories of emancipation that unsettle gender, race, and nation. …”

The Malaysian 'Islamic' state versus the Islamic state (IS) : evolving definitions of 'Terror' in an 'Islamising' nation-state by Chan, Nicholas Wai Yeap

“…At the end, following the emergence of a transnational insurgent/quasi-state/ terrorist/ideology hybrid, the Islamic State (IS), we argue that the Malaysian state is now embroiled in an ' Islamic state versus Islamic State' trap, where the state after appropriating and normalising the ' Islamic state' ideal, has no choice but to contend with what is fundamentally a ' terrorist' group (by the state's own definition) in religious terms. …”

A pilot study on peptidylarginine deiminases and protein deimination in animal cancers across vertebrate species by Inal, Jameel, Hristova, Mariya, Lange, Sigrun

“…In addition, the tissue samples were assessed for total protein deimination and histone H3 deimination (CitH3), which is strongly associated with human cancers and also indicative of gene regulatory changes and neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis). Cancers were selected from a range of vertebrate species: horse, cow, reindeer, sheep, pig, dog, cat, rabbit, mink, hamster, parrot, and duck. …”

Methodology development and synthesis of a biologically relevant natural product and targeted scaffold discovery for serine hydrolase inhibition by Kornahrens, A

“…The successful development of a novel "interrupted- hydrogen-borrowing" method allowed the use of iridium and methanol to trap the reactive enone intermediates by preventing the subsequent "hydrogen returning". …”

Computational and experimental study of a platinum thin-film based oil condition and contamination sensor by Sridhar, V, Chana, KS, Singh, D

“…These sensors have some major drawbacks: prone to surface contamination, non-linearity, insensitive to detect extremely small particulates or false detection such as trapped bubbles. <br> A new sensor based on platinum thin film heat transfer gauges has been developed at the University of Oxford that works on the principle of measuring the change in thermal product of the material that is in contact. …”

Key environmental factors underlying terrestrial arthropod abundance and diversity in alley-cropping and monoculture oil palm plantations by Ashraf, Mohamad, Hosaka, Tetsuro, Norhisham, Ahmad R., Sanusi, Ruzana, Tohiran, Kamil A., Zulkifli, Raja, Azhar, Badrul

“…We sampled terrestrial arthropod using 840 pitfall traps under seven treatments: oil palm alley-cropping systems with Bactris, bamboo, black pepper, cacao, and pineapple; and two oil palm monoculture systems. …”

Frequency-selective propagation of localized spoof surface plasmons in a graded plasmonic resonator chain by Gao, Zhen, Gao, Fei, Shastri, Kunal Krishnaraj, Zhang, Baile

“…Transmission measurements and direct near-field mappings on this graded chain show that the propagation of localized spoof-SPPs can be cutoff at different positions along the graded chain under different frequencies due to the graded coupling between adjacent resonators. …”

All-sky, all-frequency directional search for persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO’s and Advanced Virgo’s first three observing runs by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…We present the first results from an all-sky all-frequency (ASAF) search for an anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using the data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Upper limit maps on broadband anisotropies of a persistent stochastic background were published for all observing runs of the LIGO-Virgo detectors. …”
