Investigating S-acylation in the metabolic dysfunction of the T2D heart by Dennis, KMJH

“…The lipid post translational modification <em>S</em>-acylation has been linked to regulating CD36 trafficking. However, it remains unknown whether CD36 is <em>S</em>-acylated in the heart and whether CD36 <em>S</em>-acylation levels are altered in T2D.…”

Production and characterization of collagen and gelatin from edible jellyfish (Acromitus hardenbergi Stiasny, 1934) for fabrication of biofunctional scaffold by Khong, Nicholas Mun Hoe

“…The combinations of different jellyfish collagen and gelatin concentrations were observed to have significant effects on the cross-section morphology and the molecular integrity of the cross-linked scaffolds. Proportional combination of jellyfish collagen into the ternary scaffolds was found to significantly (p < 0.05) increase mean pore size and porosity. …”

Perovskite superstructures and heterostructures for enhanced optical performance by Chan, Wen Kiat

“…Since PbBr2 occupies Br vacancies naturally occurring on CsPbBr3 NCs, we proposed a possible SS formation mechanism where PbBr2 serves as a ‘glue’ linking together individual NCs to form SSs at higher PbBr2 concentrations. …”

Bit allocation techniques for video coding and broadcasting applications by Yao, Wei

“…However, due to the increased video data compared to conventional single-view video, efficient coding format and joint bit rate allocation among multiple stereo videos on bandwidth limited transmission links are still challenging problems. A scalable coding scheme for stereo video is first designed such that regulating output bit rate of each video to match the allocated bandwidth can be achieved by simple bitstream extraction. …”

Electrochemical DNA biosensor based on nanoporous alumina membrane by Deng, Jiajia

“…Probe DNA sequences were covalently attached within the pores of the nanoporous alumina membrane using glutaraldehyde cross linking. Binding of target DNA to the probe inside nanopores caused impedance changes due to blocking of nanopores, which provided the sensing signals. …”

Electronic structures of topological materials studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by He, S

“…Moreover, the findings are also linked to the <em>Z</em>₂ topology of bismuth and suggest possibilities for studying obstructed surface states in a broader range of topological materials.…”

Dna markers and mapping of quantitative trait loci for yield and bunch quality in Deli dura X Yangambi pisifera oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) population by Seng, Tzer Ying

“…For practical applications from this work, it will be necessary to test these yield component QTLs in a broader array of genetic backgrounds and in different environments. Also, more closely linked markers or flanking markers to the QTLs should be sought because recombinations between the markers and QTLs can occur when transferring the results from one population to another. …”

Rotor angle stability-constrained dispatch and control of large-scale wind penetrated power system by Yuan, Heling

“…In general, four main effects on power system transient stability are: 1) wind generation has no contribution to system inertia and system with synchronous generators replaced by wind turbines will lead to reduction of inertia, 2) power electronics converter-based interfacing is added when wind turbines are implemented, which will change the dynamic behavior of the system, 3) power dispatch of synchronous machines will change fast to compensate wind power variation, 4) the magnitude and direction of power flows will fluctuate quickly and randomly in the transmission lines. Hence, it is an essential and significant problem to maintain system’s stability with high level wind power penetration. …”
