Erasure temperature measurements of heat assisted magnetic recording media by Chen, Y. J., Yang, H. Z., Leong, S. H., Cher, K. M., Hu, J. F., Sethi, P., Lew, Wen Siang

“…Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and magnetic Kerr microscopy observations of the scanning laser induced degradation/erasure/demagnetization of the pre-recorded magnetic patterns on disk media (over a wide area of a few hundreds of μm2) show that the magnetic (MFM and Kerr signal) amplitude of the pre-recorded magnetic patterns decreases slowly with increasing laser power (Pw) (/temperature rise) for Pw ≲ 66 mW and then drops sharply to nearly zero for Pw ≥ ∼72 mW (the laser power corresponding to complete thermal erasure when the media temperature is ∼Te). …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…</p> <p>The main result of this thesis is to demonstrate that by replacing the magnetic dipole in spin-ice with the electric dipole of the cyanide ion, cadmium cyanide displays spin-ice behaviour at temperatures nearly sixty times higher that in its magnetic analogue. …”

Government resilience in the digital age by Raieste, A, Rebane, A, Tapupere, M, McBride, K

“…<br> For many governments, the COVID-19 pandemic was a wakeup call. Nearly 30% of governments in Europe had to postpone elections, education was disrupted, and many governments struggled to ensure the availability of their public services. …”

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

“…A 12% apoptotic rate (nearly a 4-fold increase compared to the static condition) was observed when the endothelial cells were exposed to a high glucose concentration of 20 mM under 2 h exhaustive pulsatile shear stress of 30 dyne cm−2 and followed with another 10 h normal pulsatile shear stress of 15 dyne cm−2. …”

Development a novel paradigm for characterization of emerging contaminants in mixed-use anthropogenic impacted watersheds by Lee, Theodora Hui Yian

“…With more compounds synthesized overtime, it is nearly impossible to monitor all compounds. Thus, the understanding of spatial and temporal variations of contaminant source and sink becomes a priority in contaminant research to aid intervention. …”

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…However, many patients still fail to show a clinically meaningful response to kinase inhibitors prescribed on the basis of tumor genotype, and nearly all responsive patients eventually develop resistance, limiting the curative potential of these agents. …”

Investigation of Synthetic Proteins Produced via Automated Fast-Flow Peptide Synthesis by Cowfer, Amanda Elizabeth

“…Since the introduction of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), the peptide community has endeavored to combine the convenience of flow chemistry with the iterative steps associated with peptide elongation in SPPS. Nearly one decade ago, members of the Pentelute lab envisioned and developed a flow-based peptide synthesizer, the Automated Fast-Flow Peptide Synthesizer, or AFPS for short. …”
