Force transduction through the bacterial cell envelope by Williams-Jones, D

“…Through use of mutagenesis, fluorescence microscopy, and live cell assays, I demonstrate that system function can be modulated by altering the secondary structure of the periplasm spanning transducer protein, TolA. I also examine the cell-wide implications of reducing TolA function in such a manner, with respect to membrane stability and cell division (chapter three). …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…An examination of four historic reformulations of what it means to be private, spanning two thousand years of western history, confirms that privacy has shifted considerably over time and that attempts to essentialize it are misplaced. …”

A protocol for mobilising novel finance models for collaborative health promotion and disease prevention initiatives: taking a smart capacitating investment approach in the Invest4... by Lane, J, Edwards, RT, Babarczy, B, Whiteley, H, Oruganti, V, Rutten-van Mölken, M, Costongs, C, Jani, AR, Wordsworth, S, Maassen, A, Tsiachristas, A, Davies, J, Stavenow, B, van Vliet, J, Wright, S, Papartyte, L, Camaradou, JC, Koleva-Kolarova, R

“…The project consists of eight work packages which span the exploration and conceptualisation of SCI in public health; the characterisation of SCI-compatible business and finance models; piloting and evaluation of these models in four European testbeds (Sweden, Germany, Spain and Wales UK); and exploring the opportunities for sustainable replication and scaling of SCI and future research. …”

Next generation design of floating systems for coastal solar farms by Bi, Cheng

Hydrophosphination as a valuable tool to chiral diphosphines and their derivatives by Teo, Ronald Hong Xiang

“…Next, the synthesis of C-chiral diphosphines from naturally occurring curcumin and derivatives was attempted and the cytotoxicity of the diphosphine metal complexes was evaluated and compared against cisplatin and curcumin in the MKN74 and MCF7 cancer cell-lines. Lastly, the challenges associated with the generation of chiral phosphine-phosphino-chalcogenide and their complexes were discussed in detail and an example of the catalytic property of the phosphine-phosphino-chalcogenide metal complexes was illustrated.…”

Single-step selective laser writing of flexible photodetectors for wearable optoelectronics by An, Jianing, Le, Truong-Son Dinh, Lim, Chin Huat Joel, Tran, Van Thai, Zhan, Zhaoyao, Gao, Yi, Zheng, Lianxi, Sun, Gengzhi, Kim, Young-Jin

“…Herein, by developing a single‐step selective laser writing strategy that can finely tailor material properties through incident photon density control and lead to the formation of hierarchical hybrid nanocomposites, e.g., reduced graphene oxide (rGO)–zinc oxide (ZnO), a highly flexible and all rGO–ZnO hybrid‐based photodetector is successfully constructed. …”

Tin halide perovskite solar cells with open-circuit voltages approaching the Shockley–Queisser limit by Liu, W, Hu, S, Pascual, J, Nakano, K, Murdey, R, Tajima, K, Wakamiya, A

“…The fullerene derivative indene-C₆₀ bisadduct (ICBA) is a promising alternative to mitigate this drawback, owing to its superior energy level matching with most tin-based perovskites. However, the less finely controlled energy disorder of the ICBA films leads to the extension of its band tails that limits the photovoltage of the resultant devices and reduces the power conversion efficiency. …”

Influences of various particle sizes of coal bottom ash as supplementary cementitious material on the pozzolanic properties by Biajawi, Mohammad I. Al, Embong, Rahimah, Kusbiantoro, Andri, Abd Aljabbar, Haneen

“…To evaluate the pozzolanic reaction of CBA based on the strength activity index (SAI), CBA was ground to same fineness as cement. Five substitution levels were used. …”

15th-century printed Italian editions of Aesopian texts by Malaspina, M

“…</p> <p>The <em>Conclusions</em> focus on the originality of certain texts created specifically for the press, on the people who played an important role in the composition and printing of Aesopian texts, on the identification of new lines of transmission in print, on the distinction and analysis of different iconographic lines of descent in the illustrated editions, and on the discovery of noteworthy cases of provenance evidence, which suggest how the consumption of Aesopian Italian incunables transversely engaged people at different social and cultural levels.…”
