Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…Finally, conclusions are drawn, and perspectives of future study based on these works have been proposed, including to model the dynamics of thin evaporating droplets with moving contact lines resulting from the successive touchdown of an evaporating layer and to investigate the relation between short-wave convection and long-wave deformation instabilities in the presence of phase change.…”

Photocatalysis in a New Light: A Biohybrid Approach for Improved Reactivity with Tunable, Low-Energy Light Excitation by Cesana, Paul T.

“…The dominant process by which absorbed sunlight is transferred between these sites is through resonance energy transfer, which is highly efficient over long distances. This work highlights that light capture and energy transfer are crucial steps for the design of highly efficient photocatalysts in the future. …”

Nature-based solutions for flood risk reduction : a probabilistic modeling framework by Lallemant, David, Hamel, Perrine, Balbi, Mariano, Lim, Tian Ning, Schmitt, Rafael, Win, Shelly

“…Results for the Chindwin River basin in Myanmar highlight the potential consequences of deforestation on long-term flood risk. We find that loss reduction is driven by small but frequent storms, suggesting that current practice relying on large storms may underestimate the benefits of nature-based solutions. …”

Identification of a novel mitochondria-localized LKB1 variant required for the regulation of the oxidative stress response by Tan, Ivan, Xu, Shengli, Huo, Jianxin, Huang, Yuhan, Lim, Hong-Hwa, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…We show that this mitochondria-localized LKB1 (mLKB1) is generated from alternative splicing in the 5' region of the transcript and translated from an alternative initiation codon encoded by a previously unknown exon 1b (131 bp) hidden within the long intron 1 of LKB1 gene. We found by replacing the N-terminal NLS of the canonical LKB1 isoform, the N-terminus of the alternatively spliced mLKB1 variant encodes a mitochondrial transit peptide that allows it to localize to the mitochondria. …”

A Brief History of Blockchain Interoperability by Belchior, Rafael, S??enguth, Jan, Feng, Qi, Hardjono, Thomas, Vasconcelos, Andr?, Correia, Miguel

“…These recent developments have, slowly but steadily, contributed to the improvement of the scalability of blockchain networks, as well as providing new functionality and use cases [36], but there is still a long way to go until mass adoption. In this paper, we will dive into the rabbit hole of blockchain interoperability and explain why it is needed, what has work been done in the last decade (the past), how it is currently deployed and used in practice (the present), and likely paths of development (the future).…”
