Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…With the 1.5-sided model, a regular non-rupture stable pattern is found in the Rayleigh–Taylor unstable layer due to local evaporation and condensation in the diffusion-limited regime. This is in sharp contrast to the prediction of the one-sided model without the convective and diffusive effects of vapor, where local rupture always occurs in finite time. …”

Towards electrically injected colloidal semiconductor lasers by Thung, Yi Tian

“…The NPL-VCSEL demonstrated a low lasing threshold of 21.6 W cm-2 with a single-mode Q-factor of 11800 under continuous-wave (cw) excitation, with good agreement between the cw-pumped lasing spectra and the ps pulse-pumped lasing spectra. to highlighting the NPL-VCSEL’s robustness under different optical pumping regimes, I demonstrated the NPL-VCSEL’s performance under continuous wave optical pump, affirming the suitability of the colloidal NPLs as the preferred gain medium to realize the desired electrically injected colloidal semiconductor lasers. …”

Studies on plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxial growth of GaN-based multilayer heterostructures on Si for photodetector application by Zheng, Yi

“…Tunability of band gap and the possibility of formation of heterostructures with group III-nitride materials allow the design of complex structures to detect both UV and infra-red (IR) spectral regimes (multi band) on a single chip. By growing AlGaN/GaN multiple quantum well layers, IR detector can also be obtained, which means IR and UV detector can be achieved using the same material. …”

Role of different dendritic cell subsets in vivo by Abdul Rashid Mohammad Muzaki

“…In a dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) model of colonic inflammation, ablation of CD103+ CD11b- colonic DCs resulted in exacerbated colitis, while ablation of colonic CD103+ CD11b+ DCs resulted in resistance to colitis when subjected to the same DSS regiment. Hence our results highlight the opposing roles of these two distinct colonic DC subsets in controlling DSS-induced colonic inflammation. …”

The role of SPRTN protease in colorectal cancer chemotherapy by Peron, C

“…The first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is frequently based on combination chemotherapeutic regimens, where 5-fluorouracil is either associated with irinotecan (FOLFIRI) or oxaliplatin (FOLFOX). Both these regiments present similar level of efficacy, and both irinotecan and oxaliplatin have been reported as drugs with the potential to induce relevant amounts of DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs), a heterogeneous form of DNA lesion in which proteins end up being covalently bound to the DNA. …”

中国民间故事的文化思考 ：以巧媳妇故事类型为例 = Cultural considerations in Chinese folktales : a case study of the Qiao Xi Fu story type by 蓝智欣 Lam, Zhi Xin

“…Being regarded lowly in the patriarchal clan system, women were obligated to conform to regimented rules and standards, on top of tending to family elders and fulfilling household duties. …”
