Impact of sensors on collision risk prediction for non-cooperative traffic in terminal airspace by Wang, John Chung-Hung, Tan, Shi Kun, Koay, Lynette Jie Ting, Low, Kin Huat

“…Such incursions often lead to airport shutdowns due to safety concern and could cause a cascading disruption to airline operations throughout the region. A better assessment tool for the collision risk between the existing air traffic and the intruder could help reduce unnecessary disruption to air traffic operations. …”

High transparency Pr:Y₂O₃ ceramics: a promising gain medium for red emission solid-state lasers by Li, Qing, Wang, Ying, Wang, Jun, Ma, Jie, Ni, Meng, Lin, Hui, Zhang, Jian, Liu, Peng, Xu, Xiaodong, Tang, Dingyuan

“…It was also found that the charge states of the Pr ions could be changed through regulating the annealing atmospheres, resulting in different absorption and emission characteristics in the visible wavelength region. Annealing in reducing atmosphere (5% H2/95% Ar) favored the formation of Pr3+, resulting in stronger red emissions, while annealing in oxygen atmosphere led to the rise of lattice constant due to the concentration increase of oxygen interstitials. …”

Comprehensive armature reaction modeling and flux weakening optimization of a surface permanent magnet vernier motor by Zhu, Jingwei, Fan, Ying, Chen, Hao, Chen, Jiahao, Zuo, Yuefei, Lee, Christopher Ho Tin

“…This paper presents a deep investigation into the armature reaction modeling and a semi-analytical optimization framework considering the constant power speed range (CPSR) in the flux weakening region for the SPMVM. The new armature reaction model can identify the armature air gap flux density of each harmonic component and armature flux linkage accurately, by conducting harmonics analysis, slot leakage flux computation and slotting effect evaluation, permitting to calculate the inductance. …”

Modulating emission of boric acid into highly efficient and color-tunable afterglow via dehydration-induced through-space conjugation by Zhang, Zhen, Wang, Zhenguang, Liu, Xiao, Shi, Yu-E, Li, Zhiqiang, Zhao, Yanli

“…Inorganic boric acid (BA) is generally not considered an efficient afterglow material, and several groups have reported its extremely weak room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in the blue spectral region. It is discovered that heat treatment of BA results in increased afterglow intensity (27-fold increase) and prolonged emission lifetime (from 0.83 to 1.59 s), attributed to enhanced through-space conjugation (TSC) of BA. …”

Cell biological mechanisms of activity-dependent synapse to nucleus translocation of CRTC1 in neurons by Ch'ng, Toh Hean, DeSalvo, Martina, Lin, Peter, Vashisht, Ajay, Wohlschlegel, James A., Martin, Kelsey C.

“…Domain analysis reveals that the amino-terminal third of CRTC1 contains all of the signals required for regulated nucleocytoplasmic trafficking. We fuse this region to Dendra2 to generate a reporter construct and perform live-cell imaging coupled with local uncaging of glutamate and photoconversion to characterize the dynamics of stimulus-induced retrograde transport and nuclear accumulation.…”

Argon-plasma-controlled optical reset in the SiO2/Cu filamentary resistive memory stack by Kawashima, T., Yew, K. S., Kyuno, K., Zhou, Yu, Ang, Diing Shenp, Zhang, H. Z.

“…From the enhanced O-H peak in the Fourier-transform infrared spectrum of the plasma-treated oxide, it is proposed that the Ar plasma has created more oxygen vacancies in the surface region of the oxide. These vacancies in turn adsorb water molecules, which act as counter anions (OH-) promoting the migration of Cu cations into the oxide and forming a more complete Cu filament that is less responsive to light. …”

Populism and foreign policy: characteristics, sources, and implications by Chryssogelos, Angelos

“…The chapter identifies two such challenges: the necessity to disentangle the international effect of populism from that of the ‘thick’ ideologies populists carry; and the recognition that the content of populist foreign policies may differ widely among populists from different regional and historical contexts. On this basis, the chapter argues that the impact of populist ideas (anti-elitism and anti-pluralism) on international politics must be sought instead in the distinct foreign policy styles and postures they inform, as well as the increasing personalization of foreign policy conduct by populist leaders – the ‘how’ rather than the ‘what’ of foreign policy. …”
