Harmonic Spinors in the Ricci Flow by Baldauf, Julius

“…Further, a sharp parabolic Hitchin–Thorpe inequality for simply-connected, spin 4-manifolds is proven. From this, it follows that the normalized Ricci flow on any exotic K3 surface must become singular.…”

A lightweight and high efficiency battery charger for electric vehicles by Yue, Xi Tong

“…This auxiliary circuit reactive current is achieved so that zero-voltage switching is guaranteed. Besides, voltage spikes across the output diode bridge of FB converter are eliminated by using two clamp diodes in the circuit, which leads to lower power loss and lower rating of the diodes and output filter capacitor. …”

Development of a novel colorimetric immunoassay for C-Reactive Protein using colloidal nanoparticles by Tjitra, Niklas Lesmana

“…Colour changes in the assay from pinkish red to violet were observed and scaled with increasing CRP concentration. Upon CRP spiking at 1 µg mL-1, affimer-functionalized Au NPs showed improvement in sensitivity, and the LOD was calculated to be 0.2 µg mL-1. …”

NMR structure and localization of the host defense antimicrobial peptide thanatin in zwitterionic dodecylphosphocholine micelle : implications in antimicrobial activity by Sinha, Sheetal, Ng, Wun Jern, Bhattacharjya, Surajit

“…The depth of insertion of thanatin into micelle structure was investigated by spin labelled doxyl lipids, 5-DSA and 16-DSA. DPC-bound structure of thanatin is defined by a -hairpin structure and an extended and turn conformations, for residues G1-I8, at the N-terminus. …”

Orbital stability in a classical pilot-wave system by Liu, Nicholas Z.

“…We then consider the effect of weak external forces on spin states, circular orbits arising in the absence of external forces, and show that the destabilisation of spin states depends in a complex manner on the type of external force applied. …”

Multiple scattering of light in cold atomic clouds in a magnetic field by Sigwarth, Olivier, Labeyrie, Guillaume, Delande, Dominique, Miniatura, Christian

“…We show that, for atoms with nonzero spin in their ground state, the CBS interference contrast can be increased compared to its value when B=0, a result at variance with classical samples. …”

Characterization and structural modification of polysilsesquioxanes for low dielectric constant (k) applications in deep sub-micron devices by Siew, Yong Kong.

“…A preliminary study on the thermal stability of different spin-on dielectrics (SODs) has been conducted and it is found that generally organic SODs exhibited lower thermal stability, both in terms of weight loss and the highest allowable temperature, compared to inorganic SODs. …”
