Revealing the role of fluoride-rich battery electrode interphases by operando transmission electron microscopy by Gong, C, Pu, S, Gao, X, Yang, S, Liu, J, Ning, Z, Rees, G, Capone, I, Pi, L, Liu, B, Hartley, G, Fawdon, J, Pasta, M, Grovenor, C, Bruce, P, Robertson, A

“…While fluoride-rich interphases in particular seem beneficial, how they alter the structural dynamics of lithium plating and stripping to promote efficiency remains only partly understood. Here, we use operando liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy to investigate the nanoscale structural evolution of lithium electrodeposition and dissolution at the electrode surface across fluoride-poor and fluoride-rich interphases. …”

Quantitative analysis of selected alkaloids of Mitragyna speciosa using 1H quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy by Garba, Suleiman Abubakar, Shaari, Khozirah, Abdul Manap, Mohd Rashidi, Lee, Soo Yee, Abdulazeez, Isah, Mohd Faudzi, Siti Munirah

“…Hence, a rapid and precise qNMR method was developed to quantify selected major psychoactive alkaloids in various parts of M. speciosa. Mitragynine, specioliatine, and speciogynine were quantified in relation to the integral value of the -OCH3 groups of the alkaloids and the internal standard 1,4-dinitrobenzene. …”

A Reconfigurable Hardware Realization for Real-Time Simulation of Cardiac Excitation and Conduction by Mahmud, Farhanahani, Adon, Nur Atiqah, Othman, Norliza, Hakim, Ade Anggian, Morsin, Marlia, Jabbar, Mohamad Hairol

“…However, according to existing studies, the hardware simulation requires high power consumption and involves a large size of the physical parts. Due to the drawbacks, this research presents the adaptation of nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE)-based cardiac excitable models of Luo-Rudy Phase I (LR-I) and FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) in a reconfigurable hardware of field-programmable gate array (FPGA). …”

Exfoliation and alignment of h-BN for thermal application by Teo, Jing Xiang

“…It is also noteworthy that the uniqueness and potent characteristics of functionalized h-BNNS like enhanced solubility in liquid, stability, and excellent biocompatibility have also led to specific extensive applications to be made possible, such as improved thermal conductivity (film method or Thermal paste method) and novel polymeric composites. This project conducts a study of assembling h-BN nanosheets through exfoliation and the application of magnetic alignment. …”

On Modular Pluggable Analyses Using Set Interfaces by Lam, Patrick, Kuncak, Viktor, Rinard, Martin

“…Our researchhas two goals: 1) to address the scalability limitations of preciseanalyses by focusing the analysis on only those parts of the program thatare relevant to the properties that the analysis is designed to verify, and2) to enable the application of specialized analyses that verify propertiesof specifc classes of data structures to programs that simultaneouslymanipulate several dfferent kinds of data structures.In our approach, each module encapsulates a data structure and usesmembership in abstract sets to characterize how objects participate inits data structure. …”
