Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Enantiomeric glycosylated cationic block co-beta-peptides eradicate Staphylococcus aureus biofilms and antibiotic-tolerant persisters by Zhang, Kaixi, Du, Yu, Si, Zhangyong, Liu, Yang, Turvey, Michelle E., Raju, Cheerlavancha, Keogh, Damien, Ruan, Lin, Jothy, Subramanion Lachumy, Reghu, Sheethal, Marimuthu, Kalisvar, De, Partha Pratim, Ng, Oon Tek, Mediavilla, José R., Kreiswirth, Barry N., Chi, Robin Yonggui, Ren, Jinghua, Tam, Kam C., Liu, Xue-Wei, Duan, Hongwei, Zhu, Yabin, Mu, Yuguang, Hammond, Paula T., Bazan, Guillermo C., Pethe, Kevin, Chan-Park, Mary Bee Eng

“…Here, we report the synthesis of an enantiomeric block co-beta-peptide, poly(amido-D-glucose)-block-poly(beta-L-lysine), with high yield and purity by one-shot one-pot anionic-ring opening (co)polymerization. The co-beta-peptide is bactericidal against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), including replicating, biofilm and persister bacterial cells, and also disperses biofilm biomass. …”

Astley's Amphitheatre and the early circus in England, 1768-1830 by Kwint, M

“…<p>Founded in Lambeth in 1768 by the ex-cavalry sergeant Philip Astley (1742-1814), Astley's was one of the first entertainments to mix traditional acrobatic feats with the new trick-riding in a ring, thus founding the modern circus. As the leading example of the artform, the permanent Amphitheatre just south of Westminster Bridge went on to be immortalised by Dickens and parodied by Punch, before closure in 1893. …”

Evolved P450 mutants as general oxidation catalysts by Harwood, LA

“…Improvements to a previous synthetic route, two routes based on a C(sp²)–C(sp²) bond disconnection and a final route constructing the aryl ring via Robinson annulation will be discussed. New methodologies including an intramolecular Heck cross-coupling and a Lewis acid catalysed coupling of furfuryl alcohols with silyl enol ethers will be presented.…”
