On Lie Theory in the Verlinde Category by Kannan, Arun S.

“…Finally, we classify bilinear forms in the Verlinde category Ver₄⁺ and discuss the associated Witt semi-ring, which is a new algebraic structure. The second perspective is that these categories actually contain the category of supervector spaces, so they must generalize what is already known. …”

Electrodeposition of metal nanostructures for plasmonic sensing by Mueller, Aaron David

“…As this process can produce tall nanostructures, plasmonic modal evolution with height is investigated, along with effects on refractive index sensitivity. Tall v¬-shaped split ring resonator structures were found to have a sensitivity of close to 400 nm/RIU in the optical spectrum, much higher than the theoretical maximum predicted for simple localized resonance.…”

The post-modern Japanese identity of Haruki Murakami's literature. by Ling, Shannon.

“…Regarded as the literati ahead of his contemporaries, his words would come to ring true in the following century, as the concept of identity (and national identity) would rise to the forefront of most literature coming out of East Asia, with the traditions and cultures of these nations challenged by the onset of modernization (or Westernization) into the region. …”

Design of a low-profile wideband spiral antenna by Deng, Wenting

“…The first part of this final year project involves designing a wideband Single-Arm Spiral (SAS) antenna with a small disc backed by a cavityanda ring-shaped AbsorbingMaterial (ABS). By placing a conducting cavity behind an SAS with a disc, the circularly polarized bidirectional beam isconvertedinto unidirectional beam. …”

A signal through the noise: accurate determination of hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures and optimisation of Laue neutron diffraction methods by Sackman, GA

“…This focuses on:</p> <p>Recommendations for the efficient collection of Laue neutron data, in order to optimise the data set completeness and awarded beam-time; strategic considerations for how to best answer the scientific question(s) at hand in a Laue neutron experiment, whilst planning against future contingencies; improving methods for crystal packing and shipping, particularly for air and moisture sensitive materials; discussing issues arising from ice forming on the crystal during a Laue neutron diffraction experiment, and methods for minimising this problem; more effectively modelling disorder using ring shapes, in the crystallographic refinement package CRYSTALS; providing rationale for Laue neutron specific checkCIF comments.…”

Developing small molecule ligands for the study of bromodomain-histone interactions by Brand, M

“…The stability of the dihydroquinaxolinone headgroup was optimised by ring size expansion, which maintained CREBBP affinity and binding mode – the latter of which was confirmed by X-Ray crystallography. …”

Resolution of proteotoxic stress in the endoplasmic reticulum by ubiquitin ligase complexes by Lari, F

“…ER-associated degradation (ERAD) oversees protein folding and delivers misfolded proteins for degradation by the proteasome via ubiquitin conjugation mediated by RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases. An intact ERAD is crucial to cellular homeostasis, as unresolved protein imbalances cause ER stress that ultimately lead to apoptosis. …”

Synthesis and properties of porphyrin nanotubes by Haver, R

“…An unprecedented method of ring-stacking of pre-formed 6-porphyrin nanorings is discussed as well as a template-directed procedure. …”
