Nanoscale Origins of Thermal Transport Phenomena for Hybrid Layered Perovskites by Dahod, Nabeel S.

“…That so many material properties can be effectively predicted simply from the bulk properties of the component phases is surprising given both the long-range order of the artificial solids and the sub-nanometer length scale of the individual component layers, and underlines the potential for intelligent engineering of the thermal properties of 2D LHPs without deleterious influences on the sterling optoelectronic properties.…”

Parent-infant affect synchrony during social and solo play by Kidby, Sayaka, Neale, Dave, Wass, Sam, Leong, Victoria

“…Further, during social play, positive affect displays were more long-lived while negative more short-lived. While our sample was small and from a homogeneous population (e.g. white, highly educated parents), limiting the implications of the findings, these results demonstrate that maternal active engagement in playful interaction with her infant affords, increases, and extends infant positive affect and parent-infant positive affect synchrony, providing insights into how the social context modulates infants' affective experiences. …”

Development of red/near-infrared fluorescent molecules and macromolecules for biomedical applications by Yang, Cangjie

“…The experiments of in vivo bioimaging and therapy demonstrated a good tumor-specific ability and long retention time in tumor. Overall, this thesis has explored several ways to overcome the currently existing drawbacks of organic R/NIR fluorescent probes, especially aggregation caused quenching, non-degradability, small Stokes shifts, and further integrated the chemotherapy function with the R/NIR emitting unimolecular micelles for promising theranostic applications.…”
