Fragment screening for stabilizers and binders to human DJ-1 by Oh, Xu Xuan

“…Currently, treatments are only available to alleviate the span of symptoms but not to cure the morbidity. This project focuses on finding ligands to increase the stability of DJ1 where its anti-oxidant properties help to reduce the rate of dopaminergic neurons degeneration, delaying onset of PD. …”

Conflict and contract use in cross-cultural buyer–supplier relationships: the role of cultural context by Roehrich, J, Sarafan, M, Squire, B, Lawson, B, Bouazzaoui, M

“…Conflict is common within global supply chains, especially where the buyer and supplier span different cultures. In such settings, formal contracts assume an important role in providing a common language that specifies each party's roles, responsibilities, and liabilities. …”

Practices, attitudes and motives for domestic waste recycling by Aini, M. S., Fakhru'l-Razi, A., Lad, S. M., Hashim, A. H.

“…The 15 000 tonnes of garbage produced daily are thrown into 230 landfills nationwide, where 80% of them have only two years of life span left. Although recycling programmes were launched as early as 1990, only 5% of the wastes are recycled. …”

Estimation of crown characters and leaf biomass from leaf litter in a Malaysian canopy species, Elateriospermum tapos (Euphorbiaceae) by Osada, Noriyuki, Takeda, Hiroshi, Kawaguchi, Hideyuki, Furukawa, Akio, Awang, Muhamad

“…Leaf fall rate was estimated to be 2.0-28.1 kg per tree per year in the five trees of various heights, and was greater in taller trees. Since leaf life span was smaller for taller trees, leaf biomass was estimated to be 2.6-30.5 kg per tree, and was also greater in taller trees. …”

Arsenene nanoribbon edge-resolved strong magnetism by Wang, Sanmei, Zhang, Xi, Huang, Yongli, Sun, Chang Qing

“…Consistency between bond-order-length-strength correlation (BOLS) theory and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that: (i) the edge bond contraction of 9.54% deepened the edge potential well of AsNR, (ii) a net charge of 0.06 e- transferred from the inner region to the edge; and (iii) the edge quantum well polarized the unpaired electron and the net spin (antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic depending on the width) is localized at the zigzag edge. …”

Advanced photovoltaic concepts for perovskite solar cells by Fong, Melvin Shao Feng

“…In this paper, PCBM, PEDOT:PSS, as well as MAPbI3 are used as materials for the fabrication processes In this thesis, various methods would be discussed and spin coating process will be focused on. The paper continues with the analysis of the connection between the number of spins for the hole transport layer (HTL) and electron transport layer (ETL) deposition process, as well as the impact on the efficiency of the PV device.…”

Synthesis, characterization and terahertz study of metal oxides by He, Mi

“…The interplays among various orderings of the spin, charge and orbital degrees of freedom in a broad spectrum of crystalline structures produce a number forms of symmetry-breaking patterns of spatial inversion, time-reversal and gauge symmetries, leading to exciting emergent phenomena in strongly-correlated electron systems and promising a variety of potential applications. …”

Learning stock market dynamics using the kinetic ising model by Nguyen, Ai Linh

“…In this approach, the states in the time series data are represented by configurations of N spins, and the time evolution of these states in the time series data by an update rule that depends on the spin configuration {σ_i (t)}_(i=1,…,N), and the connection weights {W_ij }_(i,j=1,…N) between the spins. …”
