One-dimensional sectors from the squashed three-sphere by Bomans, P, Pufu, S

“…Three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}$=4 superconformal field theories contain 1d topological sectors consisting of twisted linear combinations of half-BPS local operators that can be inserted anywhere along a line. After a conformal mapping to a round three-sphere, the 1d sectors are now defined on a great circle of $\mathcal{S}$³. …”

Insulinotropic activity of Tinospora crispa extract: effect on β-cell Ca2+ handling by Noor, Hamdan, Ashcroft, Stephen J. H.

“…The mechanism of insulinotropic action of Tinospora crispa was investigated in vitro using an insulin-secreting clonal β-cell line, HIT-T15. The aqueous extract sensitizes the β-cell to extracellular Ca2+ and promotes intracellular Ca2+ accumulation which in turn causes increased insulin release. …”

Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…In order to do so, the device must be able to sustain a continuous production of fiber for at least 1 minute and have a production rate higher than 1 mg/min. Moreover, the device has to be economical to fabricate and easy to set up because it is meant for laboratory scale production of microfiber. …”

Characterisation of red palm oil microcapsule with solution-enhanced dispersion by supercritical carbon dioxide technology by Lee, Wan Jun

“…The RPO was then microencapsulated with SEDS at 10.0– 15.0 MPa, 40– 60°C, and feed injection flow rate 2.5 mL/min. The microcapsules were characterised in terms of their physical, structural, and thermal properties and also their oxidative stability. …”

Spatial organization of long-term depression in mouse hippocampal schaffer collateral : CA1 synapses. by Chan, Jasmine Ee Teng.

“…Following low-frequency stimulation LFS), optical responses showed a decrease in peak amplitude that lasted for more than 60 min. LFS-evoked LTD was found to be dependent on the activation of Nmethyl- D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors because it was blocked by 2-amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (APV), an antagonist of these receptors. …”
