Automatic metric 3D surface mesh generation using subdivision surface geometrical model. Part 1 : construction of underlying geometrical model by Lee, Chi King

“…By using the subdivision surface concept, the new mesh generator can generate finite element meshes to model a wide range of surfaces which may contain sharp features such as cusp points and crease lines. When comparing with other traditional algorithms which use analytical surface patches as the underlying geometrical model, the new mesh generation scheme can be used in applications such as large deformation or crack analyses in which the domains to be gridded are not well defined or involve changing boundaries. …”

Doxorubicin-loaded cell-derived nanovesicles: an alternative targeted approach for anti-tumor therapy by Goh, Wei Jiang, Lee, Choon Keong, Zou, Shui, Woon, Esther, Czarny, Bertrand, Pastorin, Giorgia

“…Here, we report a systematic approach pertaining to various loading methods of the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin into our CDNs and examine the differential cellular uptake of drug-loaded CDNs in cancerous (HeLa) and healthy (HEK293) cell lines. Lastly, we proved that the addition of doxorubicin-loaded CDNs to the HeLa and HEK293 co-cultures showed a clear discrimination toward cancer cells at the cellular level. …”

Hackathons as Participatory Design: Iterating Feminist Utopias by Hope, Alexis, D'Ignazio, Catherine, Hoy, Josephine, Michelson, Rebecca, Roberts, Jennifer, Krontiris, Kate, Zuckerman, Ethan

“…Key to our re-imagining of conventional innovation structures is a focus on experience design, where joy and play serve as key strategies to help people and institutions build relationships across lines of difference. We conclude with a discussion of design principles applicable not only to designers of events, but to social movement researchers and HCI scholars trying to address oppression through the design of technologies and socio-technical systems.…”

How information about historic carbon emissions affects support for climate aid: evidence from a survey experiment by Charnysh, Volha, Kalow, Jared, Lieberman, Evan, Walk, Erin

“…However, in democratic countries such as the United States, it remains uncertain whether such messages can affect public opinion, especially across partisan lines. We conducted a pre-registered survey from a national online pool (N = 5,002) with a built-in experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative communications strategies associated with historic carbon emissions in increasing support for climate aid. …”
