Elucidating the role of metabolic changes in modulating cell fate following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs by Wong, Alex Xing Fah

“…Better understanding of the cellular pathways underlying this escape from antimitotic drug-induced cell death, known as mitotic slippage, is crucial for development of combinatorial therapies that can enhance existing treatment regimen in patients. Mitotic slippage describes a phenomenon where cells escape mitotic arrest and cell death following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs, and "slip" into interphase without proper chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. …”

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. …”

Sociospatial reframing of walking through inclusive streets and urban heritage by Wang, Yongcheng

“…The inclusive street design regime was also found to be compatible with the notion of urban heritage in a meta-narrative review to explore the potential of urban heritage being repositioned for urban and transport planning in which the promotion of walking is a high priority. …”

Dimensionality-dependent type-II Weyl semimetal state in Mo₀.₂₅W₀.₇₅Te₂ by Li, Peiling, Deng, Ya, Hsu, Chuang-Han, Zhu, Chao, Cui, Jian, Yang, Xue, Zhou, Jiadong, Hung, Yi-Chun, Fan, Jie, Ji, Zhongqing, Qu, Fanming, Shen, Jie, Yang, Changli, Jing, Xiunian, Lin, Hsin, Liu, Zheng, Lu, Li, Liu, Guangtong

“…Here, by selecting a special sample with the thickness gradient across two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) regime, we show strong evidences that Mo$_{0.25}$W$_{0.75}$Te$_{2}$ is a type-II Weyl semimetal by observing the following two dimensionality-dependent transport features: 1) A chiral-anomaly-induced anisotropic magneto-conductivity enhancement, proportional to the square of in-plane magnetic field (B$_{in}$$^{2}$); 2) An additional quantum oscillation with thickness-dependent phase shift. …”
