Elite capture of foreign aid: evidence from offshore bank accounts by Andersen, JJ, Johannesen, N, Rijkers, B

“…Do elites capture foreign aid? This paper documents that aid disbursements to highly aid-dependent countries coincide with sharp increases in bank deposits in offshore financial centers known for bank secrecy and private wealth management but not in other financial centers. …”

Experimental and numerical studies of pin-ended S960 ultra-high strength steel press-braked channel section columns by Ong, Shao Quan

Layer-by-layer aided β-cyclodextrin nanofilm for precise organic solvent nanofiltration by Li, Xin, Li, Can, Goh, Kunli, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Wang, Rong

“…Compared to the interlayer-free OSN membrane, a smoother selective layer with higher crosslinking degree is obtained for our developed membranes, enabling an improved organic dye rejection (e.g., 91.9% for methyl orange and 98.8% for brilliant blue R). Importantly, the LBL-aided β-CD nanofilm exhibits competitive permeances towards both polar (e.g., methanol, 5.8 LMH/bar) and nonpolar solvents (e.g., hexane, 7.0 LMH/bar). …”

Computer-aided-diagnosis of liver fibrosis using non-linear optics microscopy by Xu, Shuoyu

“…It can significantly predict staging underestimation in short biopsy cores, thus aiding in the correction of sampling error-mediated intra-observer variation. qFibrosis can predict the staging underestimation of the non-expert pathologist, thus further aiding in the correction of inter-observer variation. qFibrosis can also significantly differentiate intra-stage cirrhosis changes that can be monitored for making informed clinical decisions, and for predicting possible prognostic outcomes. qFibrosis has the potential to expedite the re-establishment of liver biopsy as the gold standard for assessment of fibrosis in chronic liver diseases. …”
