Excited state dynamics of azanaphthalenes reveal opportunities for the rational design of photoactive molecules by Garrow, M, Bertram, L, Winter, A, Prentice, AW, Crane, SW, Lane, PD, Greaves, SJ, Paterson, MJ, Kirrander, A, Townsend, D

“…The overall pattern of behaviour can be explained in terms of potential energy barriers and spin-orbit coupling effects, as demonstrated by extensive quantum chemistry calculations undertaken at the SCS-ADC(2) level of theory. …”

Probing spectral features of quantum many-body systems with quantum simulators by Sun, J, Vilchez-Estevez, L, Vedral, V, Boothroyd, AT, Kim, MS

“…We present simulation results for the spectral features of typical quantum systems, either gapped or gapless, including quantum spins, fermions and bosons. We demonstrate how excitation spectra of spin-lattice models can be probed experimentally with IBM quantum devices.…”

Acceleration by Stepsize Hedging: Multi-Step Descent and the Silver Stepsize Schedule by Altschuler, Jason, Parrilo, Pablo

“…The core algorithmic intuition is hedging between individually suboptimal strategiesÐshort steps and long stepsÐsince bad cases for the former are good cases for the latter, and vice versa. Properly combining these stepsizes yields faster convergence due to the misalignment of worst-case functions. …”

Highly stretchable, compliant, polymeric microelectrode arrays for in vivo electrophysiological interfacing by Qi, Dianpeng, Liu, Zhiyuan, Liu, Yan, Jiang, Ying, Leow, Wan Ru, Pal, Mayank, Pan, Shaowu, Yang, Hui, Wang, Yu, Zhang, Xiaoqian, Yu, Jiancan, Li, Bin, Yu, Zhe, Wang, Wei, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Polymeric microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are emerging as a new generation of biointegrated microelectrodes to transduce original electrochemical signals in living tissues to external electrical circuits, and vice versa. So far, the challenge of stretchable polymeric MEAs lies in the competition between high stretchability and good electrode-substrate adhesion. …”

Modelling the dynamics of microbubble undergoing stable and inertial cavitation: delineating the effects of ultrasound and microbubble parameters on sonothrombolysis by Tan, Zhi Qi, Ooi, Ean Hin, Chiew, Yeong Shiong, Foo, Ji Jinn, Ng, Yin Kwee, Ooi, Ean Tat

“…An increase in jet velocity is always accompanied by a decrease in the translational distance and vice versa. Therefore, a right balance between the jet velocity and the translational distance is critical to maximise the shear stress on the clot surface. …”

“Encouraged to be your true self”: an interpretative phenomenological study of medical students’ experiences of role models in shaping sexual minority identity at medical school... by Zacharias, A, Aitken, D

“…From these results, we built upon existing social cognitive paradigms to develop a ‘doublefunnel’ model to represent how social contexts can map onto individual SM identities and vice versa, mediated by role models. The triangulation of these three aspects in relation to medical education presents novel understandings to the field. …”

High field dynamic nuclear polarization methods: Microwave sources and mechanisms by Mardini, Michael

“…Finally, I detail studies of two unexplored DNP mechanisms in trityl: the three-spin solid effect and resonant mixing. With solid-state microwave sources and Overhauser radicals, DNP is now more accessible as we can achieve reasonable enhancement without the need for a gyrotron. …”

Electronic and transport properties of TMDC planar superlattices: effective Hamiltonian approach by Hashemi, R., Shojaei, S., Liu, Zheng

“…Within governed effective Hamiltonian we derived adopted transfer matrix formalism to obtain dispersion relation and electronic band structure with wave functions, transmission probability and Fano spectrum. Surprisingly, spin orbit coupling has considerable opposite effects on valence bands shift in TMDC-PSL that is blue and red for k and k’ valleys, respectively. …”

Biopolymeric fibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering. by Chen, Jasmine Shuwen.

“…Different polymer blend ratios of Pullulan and Dextran, syringe tip to collector distances, flow rates, applied voltages, polymer concentrations, types of solvent, solvent concentration and crosslinker concentrations were investigated with the aim of producing uniform fiber diameters and good spin ability. The image analysis by scanning electron microscopy and image analysis software Image J, show that fibers could be successfully electrospun into the nanometer region of 200-500nm. …”
