A decade after the first full human genome sequencing : when will we understand our own genome? by Eisenhaber, Frank

“…The promises with regard to medical cures and biotechnology applications have been realized not even nearly to the expectations. Understanding the human genomes means knowing the genes' and proteins' functions and their interconnectedness via biomolecular mechanisms. …”

Total Synthesis of Verticillin A and Application of Diazene-Directed Fragment Assembly to the Synthesis of Heterodimeric Epidithiodiketopiperazine Derivatives by Knauss, Walker

“…This is the first application of diazene-directed coupling to the synthesis of dimeric diketopiperazine alkaloids Our group’s initial route to heterodimeric ETP derivatives relied upon reductive cobalt dimerization, which produces a nearly statistical mixture of homo- and heterodimeric products. …”

The fabrication and characterization of double waveguide ridge terahertz quantum cascade laser by Li, Jinghao

“…The double-metal waveguide is a most widely-used scheme, which can realize a nearly 100% modal confinement. The ability to make a double-metal based waveguide ridge laser is very useful. …”

A throughput model for CSMA/CA with a cross-layer payload-dropping optimization by Lau, Chiew Tong, Jayabal, Raymond J.

“…For physical transceivers relying solely on preamble detection for carrier sensing, this optimization adequately mitigates the exposed node syndrome, thereby allowing nodes to enjoy nearly the maximum throughput as provided by CSMA/CA in single cell or carrier-sensing threshold (CST) isolated scenarios.…”

Multifeature Extreme Ordinal Ranking Machine for Facial Age Estimation by Zhao, Wei, Wang, Han, Huang, Guang-Bin

“…Experimental results clearly demonstrate that the proposed approach can sharply reduce the runtime (even up to nearly one hundred times faster) while achieving comparable or better estimation performances than the state-of-the-art approaches. …”

Physical unclonable function based solutions to unification of user, device and data authentication by Zheng, Yue

“…The non-repudiation assumption of these conventional techniques is being challenged by emerging artificial-intelligent assisted and malware-based attacks on independently chained weak links (factors), and their limited extension to IoT scenarios, where the sheer number of inexpensive and often insufficiently protected endpoints prevent application of standard, secret-key based techniques. …”

Ideal invisibility cloak for electrostatic field by Chua, Jia Jun

“…However, up to date, experimental realization of ideal invisibility cloaks still remain a challenge. Nearly all previous schemes make simplifications, and hence the cloaks realized suffer from large scattering. …”

British unpaid carers’ perspectives on what impacts their resilience when providing end of life care at home- a scoping review by Gould, S, Borgstrom, E, McCallum, K, Wee, B, Garcia, R

“…Most studies focused on coping strategies (n = 9), not resilience. Nearly all identified studies involved bereaved carers (n = 9), with no studies focusing purely on current unpaid carer experience. …”

100 THz optical switching with plasmonic metamaterial by Venkatram, Nalla, Stefano, Vezzol, João, Valente, Sun, Handong, Nikolay, Zheludev

“…In coherent perfect absorption, the interference of two counter-propagating coherent beams on a highly absorbing material of sub- wavelength thickness can either lead to nearly total transmission or to nearly total absorption of the incident light, depending on their mutual intensity and phase.1 A device based on coherent absorption has the advantage of being compact, fast, and intrinsically low power while demonstrating large modulations of light. …”
