Ultrafast laser writing of liquid crystal waveguides by Chen, B, Xie, P, Zhao, Z, Salter, PS, Li, M, Xue, L, Qiu, X, Booth, MJ, Elston, SJ, Morris, SM

“…Following the UV polymerization step and subsequent delamination of the glass substrates, we demonstrate a free-standing flexible LC waveguide, which retains waveguide functionality even when bent, making it potentially suitable for on-skin sensors and other photonic devices that could interface with the human body. …”

Exploration of safe space for traumatic urban youths amidst urban growth by Hui Yen, Kok, Mohd Noor, Mohd Zairul, Lawrence D’silva, Jeffrey

“…For traumatised urban youths, a youth safe space can simply be access to refuge, a place where they feel safe and protected as well as being comfortable in their own skin. Youth require secure public areas where they can congregate, participate in activities that cater to their wide range of needs and interests, influence decisions, and express themselves freely. …”

Evaluating factors affecting mean glandular dose in mammography: insights from a retrospective study in Dubai by Mohammad Noor, Kaltham Abdulwahid, Mohd Norsuddin, Norhashimah, Abdul Karim, Muhammad Khalis, Che Isa, Iza Nurzawani, Ulaganathan, Vaidehi

“…Weak inverse correlations were found between age and organ dose (OD) for both views, while a direct relationship was observed between breast thickness and entrance skin dose (ESD). In adjusted models, ESD was strongly associated with MGD (β = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.09), while OD showed a moderate association (β = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.40, 0.49). …”

Design and Development of an Accelerated Material Synthesis Platform for Automated Materials Research by Aissi, Eunice I.

“…X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and hyperspectral imaging measurements show equivalence between high-throughput synthesis and more traditional spin-coating methods. Results obtained through the high-throughput stability characterization method are aligned with stability trends reported in the literature and have an accuracy of 96.9% when compared to ground-truth degradation as measured by a domain expert.…”

Mechanically robust hydrophobic bio-based epoxy coatings for anti-corrosion application by Zheng, Shunli, Bellido-Aguilar, Daniel Angel, Huang, Yinjuan, Zeng, Xianting, Zhang, Qichun, Chen, Zhong

“…The coating was fabricated by introducing superhydrophobic SiO 2 nanoparticles, a hydrophobic curing agent, and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane into an isosorbide-based epoxy resin via a one-step spin coating process. The coating exhibits high hydrophobicity with a water contact angle (CA) of 134 ± 3°. …”
