Innovation and firm survival: the role of timing, funding, and networks by Gao, Ming

“…This not only sheds new light on how SMEs innovation-survival relationship is shaped by the timing of initiating innovation but also how this relationship is moderated by external financial support and collaborative networks from different sources, including the public and private sectors. Our findings will not only enlighten the policymakers in drafting different supportive schemes to provide aid to the SMEs but also the entrepreneurs in establishing routines for managing their innovation activities and taking full advantage of external financial support and collaborative networks to improve their innovation and business performance.…”

Moving Sculptures: Animating the Human Body in Stop-Motion WithPolymer Clay by Smerekanych, Eva B.

“…This thesis focuses on animating human anatomy, testing the extreme physical and emotional states that can be portrayed within the medium of a stop-motion film. Stop-motion animation is a technique wherein a film is shot frame by frame, with animators manually moving characters between each frame to create a sense of movement when the frames are played back sequentially. …”

Distinct Circle of Willis anatomical configurations in healthy preterm born adults: a 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography study by Greggio, J, Malamateniou, C, Baruteau, KP, Reyes-Aldasoro, CC, Huckstep, OJ, Francis, JM, Williamson, W, Leeson, P, Lewandowski, AJ, Lapidaire, W

“…However, the incidence of absent segments was lower in preterm adults, who were more likely to exhibit variants associated with complete CoW configurations compared to full-term adults (p = 0.025). Preterm males had a higher probability of a group 1 variant (circles with one or more hypoplastic segments only) than the full-term group (p = 0.024). …”

Steering perovskite precursor solutions for multijunction photovoltaics by Hu, S, Wang, J, Zhao, P, Pascual, J, Wang, J, Rombach, F, Dasgupta, A, Liu, W, Truong, MA, Zhu, H, Kober-Czerny, M, Drysdale, JN, Smith, JA, Yuan, Z, Aalbers, GJW, Schipper, NRM, Yao, J, Nakano, K, Turren-Cruz, S-H, Dallmann, A, Christoforo, MG, Ball, JM, McMeekin, DP, Zaininger, K-A, Liu, Z, Noel, NK, Tajima, K, Chen, W, Ehara, M, Janssen, RAJ, Wakamiya, A, Snaith, HJ

“…Multijunction photovoltaics (PVs) are gaining prominence owing to their superior capability of achieving power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) beyond the radiative limit of single-junction cells^1-8, where improving narrow bandgap tin–lead perovskites is critical for thin-film devices⁹. With a focus on understanding the chemistry of tin–lead perovskite precursor solutions, we herein find that Sn(II) species dominate interactions with precursors and additives and uncover the exclusive role of carboxylic acid in regulating solution colloidal properties and film crystallisation, and ammonium in improving film optoelectronic properties. …”

Social gating of statistical learning in infants through interpersonal neural synchrony by Teo, Kai Xin

“…Infants of 8 to 10 months old (n = 18) were recruited and results showed that there were significant effects of eye- contact on neural synchrony (within-infant, within-adult, and infant-adult), but it was only found for within-infant synchrony in the full eye-contact condition. No significant findings were found between neural synchrony and statistical language learning. …”

Effectiveness of interpretive exhibits in influencing students’ intention in birdwatching activity at a Bird Interpretive Center, Fraser’s Hill, Pahang, Malaysia by Mokhli, Nuraain Amalina

“…The study has shown that the new interpretive intervention exhibit is more effective in influencing students’ affect and intention to participate in birdwatching compared to the existing non-interpretive exhibit at the Bird Interpretive Centre. These findings indicated that the interpretive exhibit developed in this study successfully delivers the messages and the ‘call for action’ and shapes students’ affect and intention based on the objective of the interpretive exhibit.…”
