Nanostructured vanadium dioxide with metal to insulator transition : preparation and thermochromic properties by Wang, Ning

“…Moth-eye mimic VO2 surface for the first time have been fabricated via top-down and bottom-up methods. Due to the antireflection effect of such structure with gradient refractive index along the height, it could increase Tlum, and meanwhile the ΔTsol can be simultaneously enhanced due to the higher surface area of VO2 to provide solar modulation. …”

Wavelength tuning of the soft-approached whispering gallery mode microlasers for display and sensing by Yang, Shancheng

“…Although the mature but sophisticated top-down and bottom-up approaches for semiconductor processing can provide WGM microcavities and microlasers with high quality and ultra-compact integration, the intrinsic rigid nature of the materials hinders the development of flexible applications like displayand sensing, which require the tuning of the wavelengths within the cavity. …”

A study on sensor placement and robotic grippers - improvisation on the wall climbing robot for indoor applications by Subramaniam, Srinivasan

“…The finalised robot system shows that it is possible for the gripping assembly to carry a load up the wall and almost place it on the wall and climb back down. The placement to the wall will require a little more work. …”

Incident Prevention and Mitigation In The Asia Pacific Littorals: Framing, Expanding, and Adding to Cues by Ong-Webb, Graham, Koh, Collin, Miranda, Bernard

“…It argues that such a comprehensive incident prevention and mitigation plan must be multidimensional and multilevel in its approach, cascading from the political, strategic, operational, to tactical levels. This study breaks down into three main sections. The first examines the framing of the existing Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea (CUES) and its expansion as well as any new prevention and mitigation initiatives. …”

Silencing of diphthamide synthesis 3 (Dph3) reduces metastasis of murine melanoma by Wang, Lei, Shi, Yu, Ju, Peijun, Liu, Rui, Yeo, Siok Ping, Xia, Yinyan, Owlanj, Hamed, Feng, Zhiwei

“…In corresponding to this result, overexpression of Dph3 significantly promoted the migratory ability of B16F10 and B16F0 melanoma cells. Moreover, down regulation of Dph3 expression in B16F10 melanoma cells strikingly inhibits their cellular invasion and metastasis in vivo. …”

Hole spin helix : anomalous spin diffusion in anisotropic strained hole quantum wells by Sacksteder, Vincent E., Bernevig, B. Andrei

“…We discover that strain can cause a shifting symmetry of the Fermi surfaces for spin up and down holes. We predict an enhanced spin lifetime associated with a spin helix standing wave similar to the Persistent Spin Helix which exists in the two-dimensional electron gas with equal Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. …”

Magnetic field amplification in laser-produced plasmas by Meinecke, J

“…Due to the advent of high-powered lasers, scaled astrophysical phenomena can be created in the laboratory - a supernova several parsecs in diameter can be scaled down to the size of a baseball. These laboratory plasmas are similar to plasmas in the universe in terms of localisation, heat conduction, viscosity, and radiation.…”
