Investigating circular dorsal ruffles through varying substrate stiffness and mathematical modeling by LeDuc, Philip R., Zeng, Yukai, Lai, Tanny, Koh, Cheng Gee, Chiam, Keng-Hwee

“…It has been observed that CDR formation leads to stress fibers disappearing near the CDRs. Since stress fiber formation can be modified by substrate stiffness, we examined the effect of substrate stiffness on CDR formation by seeding NIH 3T3 fibroblasts on glass and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates of varying stiffnesses from 20 kPa to 1800 kPa. …”

Ultralow-threshold two-photon pumped amplified spontaneous emission and lasing from seeded CdSe/CdS nanorod heterostructures by Xing, Guichuan, Liao, Yile, Wu, Xiangyang, Chakrabortty, Sabyasachi, Liu, Xinfeng, Yeow, Edwin Kok Lee, Sum, Tze Chien, Chan, Yinthai

“…Importantly, by exploiting this unique property of the seeded nanorods exhibiting strong quantum confinement even at relatively large rod sizes, a near reciprocal relation between the 2ASE threshold and the 2PA action cross-section (σ2η) (where η is the quantum yield) was found and validated over a wide volume range for II-VI semiconductor nanostructures. …”

Modelling cross-docking in a three-level supply chain with stochastic service and queuing system: MOWFA algorithm by Rostami, Parinaz, Avakh Darestani, Soroush, Movassaghi, Mitra

“…Therefore, three metaheuristics, including multi‐objective water flow, non‐dominated sorting genetic, and a multi‐objective simulated annealing algorithm have been used to find near‐optimal solutions to the problem. After adjusting the parameters of the algorithms using the Taguchi method, the results obtained from the algorithms were analyzed with a statistical test and the performance of the algorithms was evaluated. …”

Factors associated with the quality of life among river communities along Sungai Pahang and Sungai Muar, Malaysia by Ramli, Siti Aisyah

“…Although the government has been championing efforts to keep rivers clean and environmentally sustainable but there are only certain to be known about the past and current impact of rivers onto the quality of life for those living near the rivers. The question to be answered is whether after several decades of economic development the quality of life of communities along the rivers has improved? …”

The effect of tuning the coordination sphere of iron complexes for the oxygen reduction reaction in acidic media by Wang, Xiaojiang, Zheng, Tianlong, Tang, Yizhao, Li, Xiaoyu, Rykov, Alexandre I., Li, Xuning, Wang, Junhu, He, Qinggang, Cheng, Jun, Zhang, Xue

“…An electron-transfer number close to 4 was derived for all these complexes except for FeTim and FeSalen, implying a near complete reduction of oxygen to water. X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy (XANES) and Mössbauer spectroscopy were used to probe the nature of the distinct activities by investigating the iron-centre electron structures. …”
