When self-worth is threatened: the role of perfectionism and contingencies of self-worth in desire for social affiliation. by Wu, Jinghang.

“…Even though social affiliation is largely beneficial in times of threat, certain dispositions may hinder people from tapping on this useful resource. We are interested in how perfectionism and contingencies of self-worth may affect people’s social affiliation desires after a threat. …”

Synthesis of lead selenide (PbSe) quantum dots for photovoltaic applications by Yang, Shuai

“…PbSeO3 phase was present in X-ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns that suggested the PbSe had low stability due to lack of capping agent. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results confirmed that the particle size increased with increasing water to surfactant ratio, and UV-vis NIR Absorption Spectra of the PbSe quantum dots showed a red shift also with increasing water to surfactant ratio, the corresponding band gap was more than 1eV, which was larger than that of bulk PbSe.…”

Optimization of operational conditions for continuous membrane distillation crystallization process with zero discharge by Lim, Deric Weikang.

“…Membrane Distillation Crystallization (MDC) is an innovative approach which involves the integration of the Membrane Distillation (MD) process together with a crystallizer unit. By tapping onto the potentials of MD, it becomes possible to operate under a supersaturated state of the solution, thereby achieving the objective of zero discharge to the environment while recovering valuable salts. …”

Colossal positive magnetoresistance in surface-passivated oxygen-deficient strontium titanite by David, Adrian, Tian, Yufeng, Yang, Ping, Gao, Xingyu, Lin, Weinan, Shah, Amish B., Zuo, Jian-Min, Prellier, Wilfrid, Wu, Tom

“…Here we report colossal positive magnetoresistance (CPMR) (>30,000% at a temperature of 2 K and a magnetic field of 9 T) discovered in degenerate semiconducting strontium titanite (SrTiO3) single crystals capped with ultrathin SrTiO3/LaAlO3 bilayers. The low-pressure high-temperature homoepitaxial growth of several unit cells of SrTiO3 introduces oxygen vacancies and high-mobility carriers in the bulk SrTiO3, and the three-unit-cell LaAlO3 capping layer passivates the surface and improves carrier mobility by suppressing surface-defect-related scattering. …”
