Clostridium difficile bacteriophage finding under normal and iron-limited conditions for the isolation of potential siderophore receptor-specific phages by Lim, Edsel Yong Xun

“…Phage therapy, known for its specificity of action, has emerged as a promising candidate for combating CDI, offering the potential to circumvent gut microbiome dysbiosis associated with conventional antibiotic regimens. However, research on Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) phage hunting has been relatively limited. …”

Prediction of stable perovskite quantum dots (QDs) using machine learning (ML) algorithms by Cheong, Ivan

“…However, they have not been widely studied, with applications limited to solar cells and catalytic activity, the full extent of possible applications are yet to be realised. At the nano regime the properties are often different and can be controlled, this is due to quantum confinement and larger surface to volume ratio, which can be adjusted by controlling the size, subsequently able to use for various application. …”

Theoretical study on forced convection filmwise condensation inside converging channels in the presence of a non-condensable gas by Liu, Pengfei, Ho, Jin Yao, Kandasamy, Ranjith, Wong, Teck Neng

“…When the air mass fraction is high (W=0.4), the enhancement ratio appears to be insensitive to the Reynolds number in the laminar and turbulent regime, respectively. In addition, the enhancement ratio generally increases as the air mass fraction increases.…”

Rifaximin potentiates clarithromycin against Mycobacterium abscessus in vitro and in zebrafish by Goh, Boon Chong, Larsson, Simon, Dam, Linh Chi, Ling, Sharon Yan Han, Chua, Patrina Wei Lin, Abirami, R., Singh, Samsher, Ong, Ernest Jun Long, Teo, Jeanette W. P., Ho, Peiying, Ingham, Philip William, Pethe, Kevin, Dedon, Peter C.

“…Because of its extensive innate resistance to numerous antibiotics, treatment options are limited, often resulting in poor clinical outcomes. Current treatment regimens usually involve a combination of antibiotics, with clarithromycin being the cornerstone of NTM treatments.…”

A theory of zeugma by Yeo, Jia Qi

“…I then identify basic structures for the three subtypes of nominal, verbal and adjectival zeugma, and consolidate several disparate concepts previously mentioned in relation to zeugma, including homonymy, regular and irregular polysemy, and Segmented Discourse Representation Theory. I also consider the siting of elegant zeugma within its surrounding written discourse as a crucial complement to the usual approach of analysing word relations within the utterance. …”

High cycle fatigue characterisation and modelling of 316L stainless steel processed by laser powder bed fusion by Zhang, Meng

“…In the presence of tensile mean stress, variations in the plastic deformation properties, as demonstrated by the effects of build orientation and post-processing treatments (annealing or hot isostatic pressing), were found to induce cyclic plasticity, which led to strong fatigue-ratcheting interactions in the high cycle fatigue regime. The simultaneous actions of ratcheting and fatigue generate complex nonlinear relationships between the stress amplitude and mean stress parameters, such that the fatigue properties could not be effectively predicted using traditional stress-based models. …”

Institutions and agricultural transformation: a study of induced innovation in the Philippine rice sector by Montesclaros, Jose Ma. Luis P.

“…Research findings supported the hypotheses that agricultural transformation was impeded by the three factors: 1) an industrialisation-inspired de-facto currency overvaluation regime removed farmers’ potential to capture export markets, the latter serving as a “carrot” for adopting innovation; 2) trade protectionist policies in the rice sector removed import competition as a “stick” for adopting innovation; and 3) industrialisation- and land reform-related capital scarcity among smallholder farmers hindered the dynamics of IIA from taking place. …”
