Towards novel MOFs containing diimide-based ligands by Siti Khadijah Ariff

“…With structural diversity of MOFs arising not only from modifications of its organic and inorganic building blocks, but also from synthetic conditions, the field is growing at an exponentially fast rate for various potential applications. In this project, 4 new organic ligands (Linkers 1 – 4) were synthesized by C-N bond formation via condensation reactions. …”

Well-posedness and stability of a stochastic neural field in the form of a partial differential equation by Carrillo de la Plata, JA, Roux, P, Solem, S

“…In this article, we transform the problem through a suitable change of variables into a nonlinear Stefan-like free boundary problem and use its representation formulae to construct local-in-time smooth solutions under mild hypotheses. Then, we prove that fast-decaying initial conditions and globally Lipschitz modulation functions imply that solutions are global-intime. …”

Timing performance of a MCP photon detector read out with multi-channel electronics for the TORCH system by Castillo García, L, Fopma, JM, Forty, R, Frei, C, Gao, R, Gys, T, Harnew, N, Piedigrossi, T
