Universality for the largest eigenvalue of sample covariance matrices with general population by Bao, Zhigang, Pan, Guangming, Zhou, Wang

“…For a class of general deterministic positive-definite M x M matrices Σ, under some additional assumptions on the distribution of xij's, we show that the limiting behavior of the largest eigenvalue of WN is universal, via pursuing a Green function comparison strategy raised in [Probab. …”

Optical coherence tomography angiography imaging to monitor anti-VEGF treatment of corneal vascularization in a rabbit model by Devarajan, Kavya, Ong, Hon Shing, Lwin, Nyein C., Chua, Jacqueline, Schmetterer, Leopold, Mehta, Jodhbir Singh, Ang, Marcus

“…The regression of vessels following the treatment with aflibercept and ranibizumab anti-VEGFs using both topical instillation and sub-conjunctival injection was quantified using OCTA and compared with ICGA (indocyanine green angiography). Overall vessel density measurements using OCTA showed good correlation (r = 0.988, p < 0.001) with ICGA, with no significant difference between the two treatment groups (p = 0.795). …”

Selective photoelectrochemical oxidation of glycerol to glyceric acid on (002) facets exposed WO3 nanosheets by Xiao, Yonghao, Wang, Mengran, Liu, Dong, Gao, Jiajian, Ding, Jie, Wang, Huan, Yang, Hong Bin, Li, Fuhua, Chen, Mengxin, Xu, Yangsen, Xu, Danyun, Zhang, Yun-Xiao, Fang, Shaofan, Ao, Xin, Wang, Jingyu, Su, Chenliang, Liu, Bin

“…Selective photoelectrochemical oxidation of glycerol to high value-added chemicals offers an economical and sustainable approach to transform renewable feedstock as well as store green energy at the same time. In this work, we synthesized monoclinic WO3 nanosheets with exposed (002) facets, which could selectively oxidize glycerol to glyceric acid (GLYA) with a photocurrent density of 1.7 mA cm-2 , a 73 % GLYA selectivity and a 39 % GLYA Faradaic efficiency at 0.9 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) under AM 1.5G illumination (100 mW cm-2 ). …”

Facile oxidative recovery of manganese as electrochemically active MnO2 from spent lithium-ion battery bioleachate by Ranganathan, Deepika, Roy, Joseph Jegan, Cao, Bin, Srinivasan, Madhavi

“…In view of the rapidly growing volumes of spent lithium-ion battery (LIB) waste being generated annually, there is an urgent need to develop novel and green approaches to recover critical metals from spent LIBs in the form of technologically valuable materials for reincorporation back into battery manufacturing to achieve a circular economy for electronic waste. …”

Study on pedestrian and cyclist interactions at signalised pedestrian crossings by Liu, Jianye.

“…These include crossing when the “red man” signal is shown and crossing when “green man” signal is flashing. The tendency of violating the traffic lights is dependent on various factors such as waiting time, volume of the road users, width of the crossing, gender and age (Hamed, 2000). …”

PARP1 resolves DNA replication defects in PCNA-associated DNA repair disorder by Wang, L

“…In 2014, the Crosby and Green laboratories reported a novel DNA repair disorder with clinical features including short stature, hearing loss, premature aging, telangiectasia, neurodegeneration, and photosensitivity, which results from a homozygous missense (p.Ser228Ile) alteration of PCNA so it is named PCNA-associated DNA repair disorder (PARD). …”

Study of endothelial cell apoptosis using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) biosensor cell line with hemodynamic microfluidic chip system by Yu, J. Q., Liu, X. F., Chin, Lip Ket, Liu, Ai Qun, Luo, Kathy Qian

“…When the endothelial cells undergo apoptosis, the color of the sensor cells changes from green to blue, thus sensing apoptosis. A double-labeling fluorescent technique (yo pro-1 and propidium iodide) was used to validate the findings revealed by the FRET-based caspase sensor. …”

Environmental calibration of coral luminescence as a proxy for terrigenous dissolved organic carbon concentration in tropical coastal oceans by Kaushal, Nikita, Tanzil, Jani T. I., Zhou, Yongli, Ong, Maria Rosabelle, Goodkin, Nathalie F., Martin, Patrick

“…Here, we use two replicate coral cores and concurrent in-situ biogeochemical data from the Sunda Shelf Sea in Southeast Asia, where peatlands supply high tDOM inputs, to show that variability in coral luminescence green-to-blue ratios (coral G/B) can be used to quantitatively reconstruct terrigenous dissolved organic carbon (tDOC) concentration. …”

Power system feasibility and flexibility analysis for enlarging renewable exploitation under high uncertainties by Weng, Yu

“…Global climate changes and the consequent extreme weather are at the bottom of the recent energy crisis over the world, thus pushing the transition to more green resources and electric vehicles (EVs). At the same time, the increasing level of uncertainties induced by the high penetration of renewables and EVs exposes power grids to unprecedented risks of insecure operations. …”
