An investigation of friction-based tendon sheath model appropriate for control purposes by Tjahjowidodo, Tegoeh, Lau, Michael Wai Shing, Phee, Soo Jay, Do, T. N.

“…The proposed model overcomes the current drawbacks in tendon sheath friction modeling approach when dealing with discontinuity as the system operates near areas of zero velocity. The new structure of this new model allows a simplified calculation, bringing more valuable practicability and providing an accurate prediction for haptic feedback and control purposes.…”

Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…This study uses a large dataset of corporate bond transactions from the TRACE database for the US corporate bond market, combined with credit rating changes from Fitch, Moody's and Standard and Poor's (S&amp;P), to analyse over 22,000 bonds, coupled with approximately 28,400 rating events over nearly six years. The results show that the bond market responds to news on credit quality asymmetrically: credit rating downgrades, representing bad news for bond holders, produce the strongest response in returns, whilst upgrades do not generate a statistically significant increase in returns. …”

A structure-function study of the TWIK-1 K2P channel by Abd-Wahab, MF

“…</p> <p>The second major part of this study focused on the structure and function of the amphipathic helix near the c-terminus of the protein. This 'C-helix' lies parallel to the intracellular membrane surface. …”

India’s ‘gas renaissance’ - rhetoric versus reality by Sen, A

“…The proportion of gas in India’s primary energy consumption will rise from 7 to 9 per cent, but this will be nowhere near enough to displace either coal or oil (44 per cent and 25 per cent) by 2035. …”

The anatomy of Westlothiana lizziae and a novel phylogenetic analysis of early amniotes by Igielman, B

Visual hull based 3D reconstruction of shocks in under-expanded supersonic bevelled jets by Lim, Desmond Haoxiang, New, Tze How, Mariani, Raffaello, Cui, Y. D.

“…When applied to bevelled jets with non-uniform nozzle exit geometries, an additional assumption was made to address the problem of schlieren line-of-sight blockage by the non-conventional nozzle, and reconstruction errors were found to be larger near regions of poorer shock wave contrast. Current results indicate that the technique is robust and fast during image calibration and processing, with accuracy of reconstructed shock waves in both conventional and non-conventional nozzles strongly dependent on shock wave contrast. …”
