Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…To further improve the tensile properties of the SWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, we fabricated another series of PI-derived block copolymers via ring-opening polymerization initiated from hydroxyl-terminated polyimide of lactide and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)propylene carbonate) (MAC) to produce PLA-b-PI-b-PLA (TB1) and PMAC-b-PI-b-PMAC (TB2) which are polyester and poly(ester-carbonate)-derived, respectively. …”

Synthesis of heavy cyanide analogs for the design of novel Prussian blue analogs by Yang, E

“…In order to provide illustrative points of comparison, analogous metal complexes bearing various strong-field ligands are also synthesized and analyzed using the same approach.…”

Improved meet-in-the-middle Nostradamus attacks on AES-like hashing by Dong, Xiaoyang, Guo, Jian, Li, Shun, Pham, Phuong, Zhang, Tianyu

“…Kelsey and Kohno demonstrated a herding attack requiring O(√n · 22n/3) evaluations of the compression function of H, where n represents the output and state size of the hash, placing this attack between preimage attacks and collision searches in terms of complexity. …”

Bacteria-mediated anti-cancer therapy by Bhave, Madhura Satish

“…However, IB significantly inhibited the growth of the tumors and improved the survival rate of immunocompetent CT26 tumor-bearing mice. Histological analysis showed that IB increased the necrotic area in HCT116 tumors. …”

Synthesis of epoxidized poly(ester carbonate)-b-polyimide-b-poly(ester carbonate) : reactive single-walled carbon nanotube dispersants enable synergistic reinforcement around multi... by Liu, Bo, Liu, Chengyin, De Luca, Hugo G., Raman Pillai, Suresh Kumar, Anthony, David B., Li, Jianghua, Bismarck, Alexander, Shaffer, Milo S. P., Chan-Park, Mary Bee Eng

“…Herein, PI-derived block copolymers are synthesized via ring-opening copolymerization of lactide (LA) (a control monomer) and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)-propylene carbonate (MAC) from the OH-terminal ends of the PI block to produce PLA-PI-PLA (TB1, a control) and PMAC-PI-PMAC (TB2). …”

Tsewang Norbu NGB by Cantwell, C, Mayer, R

“…It also shares with the sDe dge xylograph the feature of a separate section at the end with additional rDzogs chen tantras. The mTshams brag manuscript from Bhutan (available in a modern photo-offset litho reproduction of the original mTshams brag monastery manuscript) is often textually quite good, and also has the most texts within it of any rNying ma'i rgyud 'bum collection, but doxographically seems to be only partially organised, as though its redactors produced it without a fully finalised doxographical program in mind. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…Bioceramics play an important role in the replacement and regeneration of human tissues, but their intrinsic brittleness and low wear resistance make the monolithic bioceramics still problematic for load-bearing applications. The two dimensional (2D) graphene and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), as the secondary strong and tough biocompatible nanofillers, are popular nanocarbons to reinforce bioceramics. …”

Amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligands (N-nacnacs): Synthesis and coordination chemistry with Main Group elements by Huan, D

“…The establishment of a library of germylenes and stannylenes bearing different N-bound aromatic substituents with varying degrees of steric bulk allows for a systematic study of the steric effects of the flanking aryl groups on the overall molecular metrics of these complexes. …”

Stability improvement and control optimization of isolated two-stage AC-DC-DC converter systems by Feng, Fan

“…The analysis results offer instructive implications to fine-tune the design rules of the DAB converters. Bearing the mind that the impedance model of the DAB converter is closely related to the modulation schemes, the impacts of three typical modulation methods on the DAB impedances are analyzed and compared. …”

韓國古代赤壁船遊的跨學科研究 = An interdisciplinary study of ancient Korean boating by the Red Cliff by 蔡佳敏 Cai, Jamie Jiamin

“…The collective dynamics of ancient Korean boating by the Red Cliff are analysed using the concepts of "herding" and "contrarian" from sociology. The diverse personal psychological structures exhibited in ancient Korean boating by the Red Cliff are discussed using Ego Development Theory from developmental psychology, which allows for an understanding of how diverse psychological structures may exhibit similar behaviours, avoiding oversimplification of the complex human psychology. …”
