Determining material parameters of metal halide perovskites using time-resolved photoluminescence by Kober-Czerny, M, Dasgupta, A, Seo, S, Rombach, F, McMeekin, DP, Jin, H, Snaith, HJ

“…Finally, we estimate mobility values for the "vertical’’ charge carrier transport, that perpendicular to the plane of the substrate, for all samples using our approach. Since this mobility estimation is derived from charge carrier diffusion over the length-scale of the film thickness and in the vertical direction, it is highly relevant to transport in photovoltaic and light emitting devices. …”

Strong immune responses and robust protection following a novel protein in adjuvant tuberculosis vaccine candidate by Korompis, M, De Voss, CJ, Li, S, Richard, A, Almujri, SS, Ateere, A, Frank, G, Lemoine, C, McShane, H, Stylianou, E

“…Subunit vaccines, aim to improve BCG immunity and protection, by inducing responses to a few mycobacterial antigens delivered with a specific platform. Since the platform shapes the immune response induced, selecting the right platform has been challenging due to the lack of immune correlates of protection. …”

'(Un)richtige Aufnahme': Renaissance sculpture and the visual historiography of art history by Johnson, GA

“…The result is that art history has been, almost since its inception as an academic discipline in the mid-nineteenth century, a ‘history of that which can be photographed’, as André Malraux famously stated – albeit a ‘history’ that has also always simultaneously contested its reliance on photography.4…”

Tracking people by learning their appearance by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…We finally show that building a discriminative model of appearance is quite helpful since it exploits structure in a background (without background-subtraction). …”

Global genomic epidemiology of blaGES-5 carbapenemase-associated integrons by Matlock, W, Shaw, LP, Stoesser, N

“…As a case study, we examined the clinical resistance gene blaGES-5, an integron-associated class A carbapenemase first reported in Greece in 2004 and since observed worldwide, which to our knowledge has not been the subject of a previous global analysis. …”

The effect of nano-additives in natural ester dielectric liquids: a comprehensive review on stability and thermal properties by Farade, Rizwan A., Wahab, Noor Izzri Abdul, Mansour, Diaa-Eldin A.

“…The use of these vegetable oils as dielectric oils for transformers has the potential to minimize the environmental effect of other conventional oils since vegetable oils are biodegradable. In addition, present-day mineral oils are derived from petroleum products; thus, mineral oils will inevitably run out in the future, and major shortages may occur. …”

Mitigation of oxidative stress damage caused by abiotic stress to improve biomass yield of microalgae: a review by Zhu, Jiangyu, Cai, Yifei, Wakisaka, Minato, Yang, Zhengfei, Yin, Yongqi, Fang, Weiming, Xu, Yan, Omura, Taku, Yu, Ruihui, Zheng, Alvin Lim Teik

“…Hence, the security and effectiveness of regulating microalgal growth and metabolism simultaneously have drawn substantial attention. Since the correspondence between microalgal growth and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level has been confirmed, improving its growth under oxidative stress and promoting biomass accumulation under non-oxidative stress by exogenous mitigators is feasible. …”
