Time-series metagenomics reveals changing protistan ecology of a temperate dimictic lake by Krinos, Arianna I., Bowers, Robert M., Rohwer, Robin R., McMahon, Katherine D., Woyke, Tanja, Schulz, Frederik

“…We observed patterns of seasonal abundance in microeukaryotes in Lake Mendota that corroborated expectations from other systems, including high abundance of cryptophytes in winter and diatoms in fall and spring, but with much higher resolution than previous surveys. …”

Development and characterization of collagen type I and hyaluronic acid (HA) based interlaced scaffolds for tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVS) by Nazir, R

“…While evaluated against the criterion for tissue engineered heart valve (TEHV), S-3 and S-4 among interlaced scaffolds/compositions not only matched mechanically but also showed high degradation resistance which potentially made them as '<b>close-fit</b>' candidates. Findings from this thesis indicated that collagen/HA interlaced scaffolds have the potential to fill in the niche for designing an ideal TEHV. …”

High-performance one-dimensional halide perovskite crossbar memristors and synapses for neuromorphic computing by Vishwanath, Sujaya Kumar, Febriansyah, Benny, Ng, Si En, Das, Tisita, Acharya, Jyotibdha, John, Rohit Abraham, Sharma, Divyam, Dananjaya, Putu Andhita, Jagadeeswararao, Metikoti, Tiwari, Naveen, Kulkarni, Mohit Ramesh Chandra, Lew, Wen Siang, Chakraborty, Sudip, Basu, Arindam, Mathews, Nripan

Picosecond charge localization dynamics in CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite probed by infrared-activated vibrations by Stallhofer, Klara, Nuber, Matthias, Cortecchia, Daniele, Bruno, Annalisa, Kienberger, Reinhard, Deschler, Felix, Soci, Cesare, Iglev, Hristo

“…A subpopulation of these can then fall into deeper trapped states over picoseconds, likely due to local reorganization of the organic molecules surrounding the carriers.…”

Water surge risk mapping using GIS-based spatial multi-criteria decision analysis approach by Syarifuddin, Misbari, Siti Sarah, Abd Razak, Muhammad Fuad Fahmi, Jaafar, Nadiatul Adilah, Ahmad Abdul Ghani, Mohd Faizal, Jamlos

“…A water surge risk map is developed by not only visualizing water surge factors but also weighting each relevant contributing factor, such as terrain elevation, land use type, and rainfall. The finding of the study suggests that Sg. Pandan Waterfall area falls into medium-risk water surge zones due to combination of three main factors including terrain elevation, land use or rainfall pattern. …”

GWTC-2.1: Deep extended catalog of compact binary coalescences observed by LIGO and Virgo during the first half of the third observing run

“…Source properties calculated using our default prior suggest that the primary components of two new candidate events (GW190403_051519 and GW190426_190642) fall in the mass gap predicted by pair-instability supernova theory. …”

Relationship of sperm protamine content with bull breeding soundness evaluation and sperm DNA damage by Mohamed Abbad Alfadel, Fatima

“…No significant correlation was found between AB positivity and mid piece (MP) or swollen acrosome (SA). Sperm protamine deficiency was significantly (P < 0.01) correlated with SDF. …”

Interface energetics and dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites by Goh, Teck Wee

“…Firstly, the interface energetics of FAPbI3-based perovskites with organic charge extraction layers showed apparent upward band bending, but its origin is unexpectedly due to presence of δ-FAPbI3. This finding implicates solar cell operation as it causes inefficient extraction of photoexcited electrons to the PCBM. …”

Study of planning and operational aspects of tidal in-stream power generation by Mahda J. Jahromi

“…Even though harnessing marine energy through water wheels can be traced back to the early civilizations, no major step was taken to exploit this vast source of energy until the mid-70s after the first oil crisis. Ever since, many countries have begun to investigate and invest in this vast and predictable source of energy. …”
