Structure-behaviour correlations between two genetically closely related snail species by Le Ferrand, Hortense, Morii, Yuta

“…When under attack from a beetle, K. editha snails retract into their shells whereas K. gainesi snails swing their shells. In this paper, we looked at the microstructure, composition, morphology and mechanics of the shells of these two species and discuss potential relationships between material structure and the snails’ defence behaviours. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

A crosstalk-immune sub-THz All-surface-wave I/O transceiver in 65-nm CMOS by Liang, Yuan, Boon, Chirn Chye, Yu, Hao

“…It is further integrated into the all-surface-wave I/O with a surface-wave transmission line and matching converter. Measured results show that the proposed dual-channel I/O delivers a localized 140 GHz surface-wave signal, demonstrating crosstalk-immune on-chip transmission by supporting 13.5 Gb/s data-rate communication with 2.6 PJ/bit Power efficiency and a bit-error rate less than 10^(-12).…”
