The post-modern Japanese identity of Haruki Murakami's literature. by Ling, Shannon.

“…Regarded as the literati ahead of his contemporaries, his words would come to ring true in the following century, as the concept of identity (and national identity) would rise to the forefront of most literature coming out of East Asia, with the traditions and cultures of these nations challenged by the onset of modernization (or Westernization) into the region. …”

Fast depth-sensitive fluorescence measurements in turbid media using cone shell configuration by Ong, Yi Hong, Liu, Quan

“…Depth-sensitive fluorescence spectroscopy in a two-layered epithelial tissue phantom was demonstrated using a cone shell configuration implemented by an axicon lens and a fiber assembly including five rings of collection fibers. Each collection fiber ring was located at a different radial distance away from the center, for which fluorescence measurements from all rings showed a larger range of sensitivities to the top and bottom layers compared to the previously reported cone shell configuration. …”

Parametric inversion of spin currents in semiconductor microcavities by Flayac, H., Solnyshkov, D. D., Malpuech, G., Shelykh, Ivan A.

“…The energy of the pulse is set to be close to the inflexion point of the lower polariton dispersion branch and the focusing in real space populates the reciprocal space on a ring. Above threshold, the parametric scattering towards the idler and the signal state is triggered on the whole elastic circle. …”

A signal through the noise: accurate determination of hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures and optimisation of Laue neutron diffraction methods by Sackman, GA

“…This focuses on:</p> <p>Recommendations for the efficient collection of Laue neutron data, in order to optimise the data set completeness and awarded beam-time; strategic considerations for how to best answer the scientific question(s) at hand in a Laue neutron experiment, whilst planning against future contingencies; improving methods for crystal packing and shipping, particularly for air and moisture sensitive materials; discussing issues arising from ice forming on the crystal during a Laue neutron diffraction experiment, and methods for minimising this problem; more effectively modelling disorder using ring shapes, in the crystallographic refinement package CRYSTALS; providing rationale for Laue neutron specific checkCIF comments.…”

Developing small molecule ligands for the study of bromodomain-histone interactions by Brand, M

“…The stability of the dihydroquinaxolinone headgroup was optimised by ring size expansion, which maintained CREBBP affinity and binding mode – the latter of which was confirmed by X-Ray crystallography. …”

Resolution of proteotoxic stress in the endoplasmic reticulum by ubiquitin ligase complexes by Lari, F

“…ER-associated degradation (ERAD) oversees protein folding and delivers misfolded proteins for degradation by the proteasome via ubiquitin conjugation mediated by RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases. An intact ERAD is crucial to cellular homeostasis, as unresolved protein imbalances cause ER stress that ultimately lead to apoptosis. …”

Stereoselective cyclisation cascades mediated by carbon electrophiles to access novel polycyclic scaffolds by Aynetdinova, DA

“…The cation-initiated polyene cyclisation to form carbocyclic rings, as well as heterocyclisation to form novel lactones, has been explored. …”

“…On the other hand, metathesis reactions of (<b>1-Dipp</b>)SiCl with sources of H- or tBuO- are found to result in a ring contraction process, generating five-membered aza-butadienyl SiIV-complexes of the form (<b>5-Dipp</b>)Si(NDipp)R (R = H, ^tBuO). …”

Local-flexural interactive buckling of S690 high strength steel slender welded I-section columns: testing, modelling and design by Sun, Yao, Liang, Yating, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, adopting two S690 high strength steel slender welded I-sections, was firstly conducted and included initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the test results and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data over a wide range of cross-section dimensions and member effective lengths. …”
