Characterization of nickel-titanium based thin films crystallized by fast and ultra-fast annealing methods by Motemani Sharabiani, Yahya

“…Consequently, understanding the nature of the annealing process is critical for microstructural control and optimization of MEMS actuators. The first part of the study is concerned with describing and correlating the evolution of structural, surfacial and nano-scale mechanical properties of amorphous Ti-Ni-Cu thin films crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA), where the treatment takes place under a protected atmosphere by electromagnetic irradiation with fast heating rate (< 100 oC/sec). …”

Analysis of influence and its applications in social advertising by Zhu, Yuqing

“…Our method generates only the samples spreading influence beyond the source with at least one 2-hop live path. The samples generated by our 2-hop+ method can yield the random variable to estimate with tighter ranges and better concentration bounds can be applied to obtain an approximation of the random variable with a theoretically tighter threshold requiring less samples. …”

Rationalisation of antifungal properties of α-helical pore-forming peptide, mastoparan B by Lim, Edward Jianyang, Goh, Eunice Tze Leng, Tram, Nhan Dai Thien, Periayah, Mercy Halleluyah, Ee, Rachel Pui Lai, Barkham, Timothy Mark Sebastian, Poh, Zhi Sheng, Verma, Navin Kumar, Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani

“…Among the four peptides, mastoparan B (MB) displayed potent antifungal activity, whereas cecropin A was the least potent. We show that MB susceptibility of phylogenetically distant non-candida albicans can vary and be described by different intrinsic physicochemical parameters of pore-forming α-helical peptides. …”
