Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…Molten polymer within a holding cup with a tiny orifice below is drawn by a needle and stuck onto a spinning mandrel for collection. As the melt is pulled from the orifice, extensional flow causes the thinning in the melt diameter and the atmosphere cools the melt down into a fiber before it is collected on the mandrel. …”

Field-oriented control of induction motors using artificial neural networks by Miao, Hua Chun.

“…Its cost is low, maintenance is easy and the technology required to manufacture it is not advanced, but it lacks in precise controllability as the field-producing and torque-producing components of its stator current are linked. It was not until the advent of the field-oriented control that the dynamic performance of the AC drive could be made to match that of the DC drives. …”

Distributed control of hybrid AC microgrids with dynamic active and reactive power capacity tuning by Nutkani, Inam Ullah, Loh, Poh Chiang, Blaabjerg, Frede

“…Tying them either to the mains grid or among themselves would certainly require some interlinking power converters, whose control should preferably be done autonomously without demanding communication links. This paper proposes distributed control for power management between two Microgrids interlinked through inverters. …”

Cefalexin-immobilized multi-walled carbon nanotubes show strong antimicrobial and anti-adhesion properties by Qi, Xiaobao, Gunawan, Poernomo, Xu, Rong, Chang, Matthew Wook

“…In this report, we demonstrate that the covalent immobilization of the antibiotic cefalexin via poly(ethylene glycol) as a linking agent improves the antimicrobial and anti-adhesive properties of MWNTs against both Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis). …”

Bridging science and accessibility: a tactile journey from gluten through to coeliac disease by Henneken, LM, Loh, TJ, Ciacchi, L, Ciacchi, L, Lim, J-J, Reid, HH, Tye‐Din, JA

“…In contrast to the common misconception of coeliac disease as a food allergy, our exhibits revealed its closer association with autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, involving genetic susceptibility linked to specific human leukocyte antigens, crucial antigen-specific T- and B-cell responses and autoantibody production. …”

Community detection on directed networks with missing edges by Pedreschi, N, Lambiotte, R, Bovet, A

“…In this work, we extend the recently developed Flow Stability framework, originally designed for detecting communities in time-varying networks, to address the problem of community detection in weighted, directed networks with missing links. Our approach leverages known uncertainty levels in nodes' out-degrees to enhance the robustness of community detection. …”

Entangled entitlements and Shuar tsantsa (shrunken heads) by Van Broekhoven, LNK

“…Newly installed interpretation replaced the original case display, to allow visitors to consider the problematic past academic practices of physical anthropology, its relationship to race science and how those are linked to racist ideas about superiority and inferiority that shape our present today. …”

Assessing the Islamic State’s commitment to attacking the West by Hegghammer, T, Nesser, P

“…We examine IS statements and take stock of IS-related attack plots in Western Europe, North America, and Australia from January 2011 through June 2015 using a new dataset of jihadi plots and a new typology of links between organizations and attackers. IS appears to have had a decentralized attack strategy based on encouraging sympathiser attacks while not mounting centrally directed operations of their own. …”

Culture of human pluripotent stem cells and neural networks in 3D using an optogenetic approach and a hydrogel model by Lee, S

“…</p> <p>The optogenetically modified neurons were found responsive to light stimulation, showing firing patterns and calcium events typical of early developing neurons (e.g. mixed and burst waves; single and multipeak spikes). Neuronal activities were assessed using calcium imaging. …”
