Modelling and optimization of micro optofluidic lenses by Song, Chaolong, Nguyen, Nam-Trung, Tan, Say-Hwa, Asundi, Anand Krishna

“…The stream lines and the curvature of the interface can be predicted accurately using the theory of two-dimensional dipole flow in a circularly bounded domain. The model establishes basic relations between the flow rate ratio of the core/cladding streams and the radius of curvature and consequently the focal length of the lens. …”

四面楚歌下的同志再现：李碧华和陈凯歌对《霸王别姬》的改写 = Representations of the besieged “Comrade” : Li Bihua's and Chen Kaige's adaptations of the Peking Opera “Farewell My Concubine”... by 許维贤 Hee, Wai Siam

“…This essay delves into the similarities and differences between Li’s original novel (in three different versions) and the adapted film, and points out, meanwhile, how the two texts have both sharply under-historicized and over-historicized their subject matter by appropriating the “the same-sex love” for their narrative purpose that ends up glossing over the predicaments actual same-sex lovers face in their daily existence.…”

Prioritising conservation areas in Southeast Asia: highlighting zoological biodiversity hotspots and assessing spatiotemporal patterns of the felids guild by Chiaverini, L

“…These, in turn, lead to direct exploitation of habitats and species, land use degradation and climate change. Southeast Asia is one of most biodiverse region, but it has also experienced extraordinary human population and economic growths in the last decades, leading to pristine habitat loss and deforestation rates among the highest globally. …”

Biogeochemical cycling and environmental footprints of peatland-derived organic carbon in the coastal ocean in Southeast Asia by Zhou, Yongli

“…Each year, 0.2–0.25 Pg C of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is delivered from land to ocean by riverine transport. This riverine flux of terrigenous DOC alone is sufficient to support the turnover of the entire oceanic DOC pool, which means that terrigenous DOC can in theory dominate the DOC pool in the ocean. …”
