Dynamic trapping and manipulation of biological cells with optical tweezers by Sun, Dong, Hu, Songyu., Cheah, Chien Chern, Li, Xiang

“…Current control techniques for optical tweezers work only when the cell is located in a small neighbourhood around the centroid of the focused light beam. Therefore, the optical trapping fails when the cell is initially located far away from the laser beam or escapes from the optical trap during manipulation. …”

‘On-demand’ soft tissue adhesives by Mogal, Vishal Tukaram

“…When compared to non-treated polyester thin films, plasma intensity could give rise to a ~ 6-fold (for 100 W, 5 min.) increase in shear adhesion strength (157 ± 24 mN/cm2). Shear adhesion was 5-fold higher than L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine-based mussel adhesives tested on similar biomaterials. …”

Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, RP, Rex, AJ, Norry, MJ

“…During extension, sub-orthogonal dilatational forces exceeded sub-horizontal shear stresses thus facilitating the repeated emplacement of sheeted granite melt, a process analogous to low-angle tension gash development. …”

High-voltage IR-UWB pulse generator MMIC design and beamforming for indoor-ranging and radar applications by Hussain Ansari Md Arif

“…In order to further improve the peak power level in desired directions, the beam-pattern analysis of an electronically steerable multi-beam IR-UWB transmitter tag suited for real-time positioning systems is presented and demonstrated. …”

Empty-bucket techniques for spill-quality improvement at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron by Arrutia Sota, PA, Fraser, MA, Hagmann, G, Kain, V, Papotti, G, Spierer, A, Velotti, FM, Burrows, PN, Piandani, R

“…Synchrotrons can provide long spills of particles by employing resonant extraction where the circulating beam is slowly ejected over thousands to millions of turns by exploiting the amplitude growth caused by a transverse resonance. …”

Multipass steering protocols at Jefferson lab by Bodenstein, RM, Tiefenback, MG

“…The CEBAF recirculating accelerator consists of two CW superconducting RF linacs, through which an electron beam is accelerated for up to 5 passes. Focusing and steering elements affect each pass differently, requiring a multipass steering protocol to correct the orbits. …”

Bending strength of local trees by Wong, Jazz Ji Xin

“…Correlations were found between modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and maximum shear stress. Results of greenwood properties were compared to other similar tree species, species of the same family, and assessed for the bending resistance against wind.…”
