Study of the thermal decomposition of PFPEs lubricants on a thin DLC film using finitely extensible nonlinear elastic potential based molecular dynamics simulation by Deb Nath, S. K., Wong, C. H.

“…As PFPE Z contains no polar end groups, effects of temperature on the bond/break density (number of broken bonds/total number of bonds) are not so significant like PFPE Zdol. Effects of temperature on the bond/break density of PFPE Z on DLC surface are also discussed with the help of graphical results. …”

3D carbon/cobalt-nickel mixed-oxide hybrid nanostructured arrays for asymmetric supercapacitors by Zhu, Jianhui, Jiang, Jian, Sun, Zhipeng, Luo, Jingshan, Fan, Zhanxi, Huang, Xintang, Zhang, Hua, Yu, Ting

“…Herein, a novel supercapacitor electrode comprising 3D hierarchical mixed-oxide nanostructured arrays (NAs) of C/CoNi3O4 is reported. The network-like C/CoNi3O4 NAs exhibit a relatively high specific surface area; it is fabricated from ultra-robust Co-Ni hydroxide carbonate precursors through glucose-coating and calcination processes. …”

Semantic constraint on preposition incorporation of postverbal locative PPs in Mandarin Chinese by Peck, Jeeyoung, Lin, Jingxia

“…Previous studies claim that adjunct phrases which quantify an event, such as event delimiters, may behave like arguments (“the delimiter hypothesis”). Yet, our observation of Chinese finds that adjunct locative PPs that are not an event delimiter (e.g. directional 向 xiàng/往 wǎng ‘toward’ PPs or non-directional 在 zài ‘at’ PPs) can also allow their prepositional object to appear as the verbal object. …”

Design of robot integrated restaurant by Santhosh Pandiaraj

“…On top of that, this project shows how robots tend to be much more efficient and productive in their service as they do not grow tired as the day goes by, do not need to take breaks or medical leaves like humans do. The fact that robots can consistently cook and serve food which meet the desired standard of the restaurant owners, regardless of how long they have been working makes them standout as well. …”

Emerging roles of downstream of kinase 3 in cell signaling by Loh, Jia Tong, Teo, Joey Kay Hui, Lim, Hong-Hwa, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…Nonetheless, Dok-3 has since been implicated in the signaling of Toll-like and C-type lectin receptors. Emerging data further demonstrate that Dok-3 can act both as an activator and inhibitor, in lymphoid and non-lymphoid cell types, suggesting Dok-3 involvement in a plethora of signal transduction pathways. …”
