Topological phases with parafermions: theory and blueprints by Alicea, J, Fendley, P

“…In particular, we highlight how parafermion chains host a topological phase featuring protected edge zero modes. We then tour several blueprints for the laboratory realization of parafermion zero modes—focusing on quantum Hall/superconductor hybrids, quantum Hall bilayers, and two-dimensional topological insulators—and describe striking experimental fingerprints that they provide. …”

Wireless propagation for ship by Liu, Weide.

“…Signals are being propagated up and down in the lift shaft, causing same versions of signal to arrive at the receiver in at different timing and phase. This in turn affects the quality of signal being received. …”

Multi-drug-loaded gastric-floating microcapsules by Tan, Melvin Jun Wei

“…A comparable study using a solvent evaporation method to create multi-drug gastric floating microcapsules achieved 86% metformin hydrochloride release and only 20% fenofibrate release within 10 hours. The first process developed in this study using a spray-coating technique could achieve 87% to 100% metformin hydrochloride release within 10 hours and 100% fenofibrate release between 1 to 10 hours by parameter variation. …”

Effects of hemodynamic shear stress on circulating breast cancer cells by Khairunisa Liyana Abdul Malek

“…In this project, three lines of metastatic breast cancer cells, 231-C3, 231-M1 and 231-M1A were circulated in a microfluidic model mimicking the blood circulatory system over four different time periods: 2 hours, 4 hours, 9 hours and 18 hours while being exposed to three different hemodynamic shear stress at values of 15 dyn/cm2, 30 dyn/cm2 and 45 dyn/cm2. …”

Protein profile in cells exposed to non-thermal radiofrequency-field. by Ng, Shi Qi.

“…Combined with the results obtained by another student conducting a similar experiment at different exposure duration58, it is found that only Histone H2A and Histone H4 responded to the radiation after 10 minutes, 40 minutes, 2 hours and 5 hours exposure. The regulation of histone observed may be due to RF-induced chromosomal instability, RF-induced double strand DNA breakage and experimental limitations. …”
