In silico assessment of a compliant vascular prosthesis by Wong, Yi Jean

“…The main cause is resulted from the narrowing of blood vessels due to the accumulation of fatty material within a plaque on the inner walls of the coronary artery. The plaque gradually blocks the blood flow to the ventricular muscle. …”

Trapped photoelectrons during spacecraft charging in sunlight by Cahoy, K., Lai, S. T.

“…Motivated by the recent interest in trapped photoelectrons measured by the Van Allen Probes in the radiation belts, we calculate the extent of the trapped photoelectron area and the potential barrier as a function of the dipole strength and sun angle using the monopole- dipole model. We find that the dipole strength is an important parameter in controlling the behavior of the potential wells and barriers. …”

Paddling to the dyadic rhythm in post-stroke recovery: coping mechanisms among survivor-caregiver dyads in Singapore by Chan, Luo Ming

“…This model illuminated the coping strategies adopted by caregivers (Theme 1: Caregiving Adaptation) and survivors (Theme 2: Enhancing Wellness) in managing the impact of stroke, resulting in changes to their coping strategies and impacting the overall dyadic unit’s management of stroke (Theme 3: Dyadic Functioning). …”

Being a parent during COVID-19: risk for psychological distress in the United States and Italy by Lai, Jocelyn, Pham, Phoebe T., Bate, Jordan, Prout, Tracy A., Carollo, Alessandro, Setoh, Peipei, Esposito, Gianluca, Borelli, Jessica L.

“…We also found that being a young adult, having a lower educational status, not being a parent, and being Italian were related to exposure to COVID-19-related stressors. We discuss these findings and their implications for our understanding of unique contexts that may pose as risk or resiliency factors during a global collective trauma, particularly on parental psychological distress as a way of promoting whole-family wellness.…”

Nature-inspired lightweight auxetic structures for enhanced stiffness and absorption capacity by Zhang, Ee Teng

“…Building on the foundation of hierarchical architectures in nature, a novel graded hierarchical honeycomb is further proposed. By replacing cell walls of regular honeycombs with triangular and hexagonal sub-structures, and varying the hierarchical length ratio in each layer, the structure exhibits enhanced crashworthiness behaviors. …”
