A three-membered diazo-aluminum heterocycle to access an Al=C π bonding species by Yan, Chenting, Kinjo, Rei

“…[1+2] cycloaddition between a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)aluminyl anion (3) and diaryldiazomethane affords an AlN2 three-membered ring species (4). Compound (4) is thermally unstable and spontaneously releases N2 gas under the mild reaction condition to generate an ion-separated species 5. …”

Spontaneous symmetry breaking of an optical polarization state in a polarization-selective nonlinear reson by Manannikov, K, Mironova, E, Poliakov, A, Mikhaylov, A, Ulanov, A, Lvovsky, A

“…We pump the vapor cell with horizontally polarized light while the vertical polarization, which is initially in the vacuum state, is resonated in a ring cavity. Microscopic field fluctuations in this mode experience cumulative gain due to the compound action of amplification due to the self-rotation and feedback through the resonator, eventually acquiring a macroscopic magnitude akin to an optical parametric oscillator. …”

Innovative application and driving of enhancement mode gallium nitride power transistors by Cai, Aaron Qingwei

“…This is further improved by proposing a 2-stage, 2-phase gate driver to reduce the gate ringing. Simulation is conducted to verify the design and the proposed design demonstrates reduction in gate ringing. …”

Beyond masters and master plans : participatory urban planning in Singapore by Lee, Ryan Kin Ho

“…It was found that, beyond the typical factors such as participation structures or political systems, the following factors also influence participation and its outcomes: 1) a project’s imageability in the public’s mind, 2) the dominant state discourses and planning languages, 3) a project’s claim to being equitable, 4) the strength and fragmentedness of public support that parties can muster, and 5) the means of exchange and spaces for retreat between conflicting parties.…”
