Zinc oxide nanowires and nanorods fabricated by vapour-phase transport at low temperature by Xu, Chunxiang, Sun, Xiaowei, Dong, Zhili, Yu, M. B., My, T. D., Zhang, X. H., Chua, S. J., White, Timothy John

“…The nanowires grown on gold-coated silicon showed a uniform diameter of about 40 nm, and the nanorods on copper-coated silicon grew upwards to form flower-like arrays. The x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses demonstrated that the nanostructural zinc oxide grew along the [0001] direction. …”

A study on the snowing phenomenon in binary alloy solidification by Saffie, M.G.M., Tso, Chih Ping., Tan, F. L.

“…The snowing phenomenon has been observed in some studies where seed crystals formed near the bottom of the test cell during solidification are carried up flow above the mushy layer by thermo-solutal convection flow, and they fall down on it just like atmospheric snow occurring in nature. In this study, snowing phenomenon was studied by varying parameters which could affect the thermal as well as solutal gradients, at six weight % concentrations of ammonium chloride solutions, from 23% to 26%, with temperatures −24 °C, −20 °C and −16 °C, and at volume of solution either full or half-full. …”

An integrated nine-switch power conditioner for power quality enhancement and voltage sag mitigation by Zhang, Lei, Loh, Poh Chiang, Gao, Feng

“…Despite these advantages, the nine-switch converter has so far found limited applications due to its many perceived performance tradeoffs like requiring an oversized dc-link capacitor, limited amplitude sharing, and constrained phase shift between its two sets of output terminals. …”

Biomolecular engineering of a human beta defensin model for increased salt resistance by Li, Xiang, Saravanan, Rathi, Kwak, Sang Kyu, Leong, Susanna Su Jan

“…Human beta defensins (hBDs) are natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. However, hBDs, like many AMPs, are easily inactivated by salt, which limits their extracellular applications as antimicrobial coating agents. …”

Upconversion nanoparticles-modified aptasensors for highly sensitive mycotoxin detection for food quality and safety by Bahari, H-R, Mousavi Khaneghah, A, Eş, I

“…UCNPs consist of lanthanide ions in ceramic host, and their ladder-like energy levels at f-orbitals have unique photophysical properties, including converting low-energy photons to high-energy emissions by a series of complex processes and offering sharp, low-noise, and sensitive near-infrared to visible detection strategy to enhance the efficacy of aptasensors for novel mycotoxin detection. …”

Primary intestinal epithelial cell response to Helicobacter hepaticus in an ex vivo setting by Alrawaf, S

Lung cancer AI-based diagnosis through multi-modal integration of clinical and imaging data by Ulag, AS, Gonzales, RA

“…Future research should consider adding other data sources like genetic and environmental factors to enhance the model's performance further. …”

Defibrillation depends on conductivity fluctuations and the degree of disorganization in reentry patterns by Plank, G, Leon, J, Kimber, S, Vigmond, EJ

“…The single rotor could be stabilized or spiral wave breakup could be provoked leading to fibrillatory-like activity. For each level of organization, multiple shock timings and strengths were applied to compute the probability of shock success as a function of shock strength. …”

Motion and deformation of a bubble in a Hele-Shaw cell by Wu, K, Booth, DJ, Griffiths, IAN, Nunes, JK, Stone, HA

“…The bubble is then flattened into a pancake-like shape, with an approximately circular profile when viewed from above, and thin liquid films lie between the bubble and the cell walls. …”

Tracking people by learning their appearance by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…But, finding people and localizing their limbs is hard because people can move fast and unpredictably, can appear in a variety of poses and clothes, and are often surrounded by limb-like clutter. We develop a completely automatic system that works in two stages; it first builds a model of appearance of each person in a video and then it tracks by detecting those models in each frame ("tracking by model-building and detection"). …”
