Mechanical performance and microstructural development of MgO-SiO2-H2O systems by Sonat, Cem

“…The high performance achieved by MgO-SiO2 mixes under ambient conditions has led to scientific interest in the exploration of their potential to be utilized in structural and non-structural construction applications. In line with this interest, the main goal of this study was to analyse the mechanical performance and microstructural development of MgO-SiO2-H2O systems and evaluate the stability of the formed phases under various conditions. …”

Amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligands (N-nacnacs): Synthesis and coordination chemistry with Main Group elements by Huan, D

“…The proposed mechanism suggests that in most cases, strong σ-donating groups favour the N,C-chelate aza-butadienyl configuration under ambient conditions. This is broadly in line with the experimental findings, with the exception of the R = P(SiMe₃)₂ system which, together with the σ-withdrawing R = Cl system, exists in the N-nacnac-chelate form at room temperature.…”

Genetic and observational associations of nuclear magnetic resonance-measured lipid-related traits and atherosclerotic cardiovascular mortality in the Mexico City Prospective Study by Wang, Y

A machine-learned approach for reducing airborne delays and environmental impact in terminal manoeuvring area using extended arrival management by Lim, Zhi Jun

“…Air traffic management divides the airspace into three sections: the airport control zone (taxiing, takeoff, landing), the terminal manoeuvring area (TMA, for climbs and descents), and the en-route airspace (cruise). The TMA, a critical link between en-route airspace and the airport, is a major source of airborne delays. …”

Health monitoring, lifetimes estimation, and thermal management of IGBT-based power converters by Mohamed Halick Mohamed Sathik

“…Reliability of a power converter is mainly verbalized by the failure rate of power semiconductor device and dc-link capacitor. For instance, in applications demanding higher reliability, electrolytic capacitors are swapped with film capacitors, since they exhibit lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) with increased reliability. …”

YY1 binding is a gene-intrinsic barrier to Xist-mediated gene silencing by Bowness, JS, Almeida, M, Nesterova, T, Brockdorff, N

“…X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in mammals is mediated by Xist RNA which functions in cis to silence genes on a single X chromosome in XX female cells, thereby equalising levels of X-linked gene expression relative to XY males. XCI progresses over a period of several days, with some X-linked genes silencing faster than others. …”
