Early detection of reduced artemisinin susceptibility in plasmodium falciparum using novel phenotypic indicators by Xiong, Aoli

“…Currently the most widely used methods for the detection of artemisinin resistance include parasites clearance rate measurements, the ring-stage survival assay (RSA) and DNA based approaches to detect mutations in the K13-propeller gene. …”

Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…To further improve the tensile properties of the SWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, we fabricated another series of PI-derived block copolymers via ring-opening polymerization initiated from hydroxyl-terminated polyimide of lactide and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)propylene carbonate) (MAC) to produce PLA-b-PI-b-PLA (TB1) and PMAC-b-PI-b-PMAC (TB2) which are polyester and poly(ester-carbonate)-derived, respectively. …”

Structure and functions of a metallo-beta-lactamase- like hypothetical protein bleg1_2437 from alkali-tolerant soil bacterium Bacillus lehensis G1 by Tan, Soo Huei

“…However, the emergence of antibiotic resistance mechanism among pathogenic bacteria has downsized the efficacy of antibiotics via the production metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) which enables pathogens to destroy the β- lactam ring of β-lactam antibiotics. Although MBL is not ubiquitously found in all pathogenic bacteria, its presence is a public health concern. …”

Synthesis of epoxidized poly(ester carbonate)-b-polyimide-b-poly(ester carbonate) : reactive single-walled carbon nanotube dispersants enable synergistic reinforcement around multi... by Liu, Bo, Liu, Chengyin, De Luca, Hugo G., Raman Pillai, Suresh Kumar, Anthony, David B., Li, Jianghua, Bismarck, Alexander, Shaffer, Milo S. P., Chan-Park, Mary Bee Eng

“…Herein, PI-derived block copolymers are synthesized via ring-opening copolymerization of lactide (LA) (a control monomer) and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)-propylene carbonate (MAC) from the OH-terminal ends of the PI block to produce PLA-PI-PLA (TB1, a control) and PMAC-PI-PMAC (TB2). …”

Solution-processed lead halide perovskite single crystal scintillators by Xie, Aozhen

“…Simple linear alkyl and small bulky ring-containing cations tend to introduce (100) type which typically exhibits narrow emission and more likely to show negative thermal quenching behavior (stronger emission upon higher temperature). …”

Discrete geodesic graphs by Fang, Zheng

“…The computational domain shrinks to a local patch as the basis function decays to zero outside one-ring neighbors of the patch. I introduce an optimization scheme to solve the localized harmonic B-spline equation and compute the discrete Green's function quickly, which is a better simulation of ground truth on synthetic models according to experimental results. …”

Strategies to modulate Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor properties for low temperature transparent transistors by Kulkarni, Mohit Rameshchandra

“…Such surface modifications can achieve a change in the carrier concentration by change in work function or shifting- pinning of the Fermi level, or additional field generated due to dipoles created at the surface. …”
