Low temperature heat release and ϕ-sensitivity characteristics of iso-octane/air mixtures by Bajwa, AU, White, SP, Leach, FCP

“…Observed heat release results were explained using cylinder mixture pressure-temperature histories alongside supporting chemical kinetics modeling estimates of mixture reactivity in the form of chemical ignition delay (ID) time. The effects of fuel enrichment on iso-octane/air mixture reactivity were found to be non-uniform and dependent on mixtures’ thermal state trajectories in the LTHR ID peninsula. …”

牛车水的塑造：政治活动中华人的自主性和殖民管治 = The shaping of Chinatown: relationship of Chinese agency and colonial governance in political activities by 蔡晓欣 Choi, Irene Hiu Yan

“…During political activities, aggrevated form of conflicts could happen, for example, 1919 Anti-Japanese boycott protest and clashes on 1927 Sun Yat-Sen death anniversary. These political activities were not just about the Chinese expressing political stance, from how they carried out the activities and the reports, insights could be gained on how they understood Chinatown as well as made use of their resources on hand. …”

Reconstituting ring-rafts in bud-mimicking topography of model membranes by Ryu, Yong-Sang, Lee, In-Ho, Suh, Jeng-Hun, Park, Seung Chul, Oh, Soojung, Jordan, Luke R., Wittenberg, Nathan J., Oh, Sang-Hyun, Jeon, Noo Li, Lee, Byoungho, Parikh, Atul N., Lee, Sin-Doo

“…In all cases, in addition to the generation or relief of the curvature stress, the buds recruit specific lipids and proteins from the donor membrane through restricted diffusion for the development of a ring-type raft domain of closed topology. Here, by reconstituting the bud topography in a model membrane, we demonstrate the preferential localization of cholesterol- and sphingomyelin-enriched microdomains in the collar band of the bud-neck interfaced with the donor membrane. …”
