Motive and malice prepensed by Getzler, J

“…I remember clearly his intricate and well-attended lectures on the history of obligations, exploring ideas that were to inform the classic monograph just around the corner.[1] I prized those tightly organised, smudgily printed pages of comment on my draft chapters sent ahead of supervisions. I would open the notes arriving from Magdalen with great anticipation, looking forward to discussing the contents with David, and knowing that his lines would set me off into fresh discoveries in libraries and archives for a good few weeks or months. …”

Marino's spiritual poems in music: a study of early modern sources by Kobayashi, T

Comparative study on design of braced excavation systems by Toh, Yan Ting

“…From this study, the following findings are drawn: The Hardening Soil and the Hardening Soil with small-strain stiffness models generate conservative settlement profiles compared to the Mohr-Coulomb model; Combination 1 provides a conservative estimation of the wall bending moments; Upper strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 1 while bottom strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 2 Scheme 1; Scheme 2 gives a large bending moment than Scheme 1; The Mohr-Coulomb model, generally, gives a smaller maximum wall bending moment than the Hardening Soil model; findings from sheet pile excavation deviate from those from diaphragm wall excavations; and lastly, consideration of factored E50/cu ratio produces similar strut forces and bending moments compared to unfactored E50/cu values.…”

Synthesis of metal halide perovskites for photoredox catalysis, photoelectgric devices, and solid-state characterization of main group materials by Hong, Zonghan

“…In this thesis, three main projects have been developed and thoroughly investigated, dedicated to addressing some of these problems. The first two chapters focus on the syntheses and applications of metal halide perovskites while the third chapter reveals a different perspective of main group chemistry regarding NaH-NaI composite that promotes dehalogenation and decyanation to mitigate the environmental impact of harmful organic compounds. …”

Expressions of Ionianness in the Roman period by Hallmannsecker, M

“…In doing so, I want to achieve a more holistic and nuanced picture, and I hope to contribute to further the understanding of Greek culture under the Roman Empire. The individual chapters are of thematic nature and focus on one aspect of Ionian identity respectively: the perception of Ionia as a cultural region, the Ionian Koinon, myths and cults, ways of time reckoning, and onomastics. …”

A solid‐state fibriform supercapacitor boosted by host – guest hybridization between the carbon nanotube scaffold and MXene nanosheets by Yu, Chenyang, Gong, Yujiao, Chen, Ruyi, Zhang, Mingyi, Zhou, Jinyuan, An, Jianing, Lv, Fan, Guo, Shaojun, Sun, Gengzhi

“…On the other hand, although 2D pseudocapacitive materials, e.g., Ti3 C2 T x (MXene), have demonstrated high volumetric capacitance, high electrical conductivity, and hydrophilic characteristics, MXene-based electrodes normally suffer from poor rate capability owing to the sheet restacking especially when the loading level is high and solid-state gel is used as electrolyte. …”
