Single cell hydrodynamic stretching and microsieve filtration reveal genetic, phenotypic and treatment-related links to cellular deformability by Li, Fenfang, Cima, Igor, Vo, Jess Honganh, Tan, Min-Han, Ohl, Claus-Dieter

“…In another model, the breast epithelial cells MCF10A with deletion of the TP53 gene are also significantly more deformable compared to their isogenic wildtype counterpart, indicating a potential genetic link to cellular deformability. We also find that the drug docetaxel leads to an increase in the size of A549 lung cancer cells. …”

Smart grid to energy internet : a systematic review of transitioning electricity systems by Joseph, Akhil, Balachandra, Patil

“…Secondly, a systematic review of literature related to state-of-the-art of Energy Internet is performed to outline its structure, operational features and energy market mechanisms. We find that while system infrastructures, technologies, and operational principles across globe are adequately ready for the transition to Energy Internet, hindrances put forth by the policies, regulations, government agencies and institutions need to be addressed to realize a nation-wide Energy Internet.…”

Arbitrarily strong utility-privacy tradeoff in multi-agent systems by Wang, Chong Xiao, Song, Yang, Tay, Wee Peng

“…We also provide a method to find the maximum estimation privacy achievable without compromising the utility and propose an alternating algorithm to optimize the utility-privacy tradeoff in the case where arbitrarily strong utility-privacy tradeoff is not achievable.…”

Geographically-aware mobile application for managing events and interest group communications by Lee, Chong Yan

“…Besides, with the huge pool of information online, it would be hard for the relevant party to find this thread, let alone reply it. Beyond that, the nature of socializing is vastly different between forum-based chat and real-time chat as real-time chat turns these connections into personal relationship and increases user engagement as users have to keep the conversations going. …”

Differential graphical games for H∞ control of linear heterogeneous multiagent systems by Farnaz Adib Yaghmaie, Hengster-Movric, Kristian, Lewis, Frank L., Su, Rong

“…Therefore, we propose a new actor-critic algorithm to solve these coupled equations numerically in real time. Moreover, we find an explicit upper bound for the overall L₂ -gain of the output synchronization error with respect to disturbance. …”

Supply chain resilience for global operations (2) : a re-evaluation of performance benchmarking (information sharing) by Tan, Tricia Zann Yinn

“…For instance, managers from the sharing end might find it difficult to determine the quantity or type of information to share, while on the receiving end, managers might ponder about the reliability and usefulness of that same information shared. …”

Hydrodynamics of random-organizing hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Qun-Li, Ni, Ran

“…We study the criticality of the absorbing-phase transition. We find that the origin of fluidic HU can be understood as the damping of a stochastic harmonic oscillator in q space, which indicates that the suppressed long-wavelength density fluctuation in the hyperuniform fluid can exhibit as either acoustic (resonance) mode or diffusive (overdamped) mode. …”

Influences of surface charges and gap width between p-type and n-type semiconductors on charge pumping by Deng, Shuo, Xu, Ran, Li, Min, Li, Lijie, Wang, Zhong Lin, Zhang, Qing

“…In this work, charge pumping between p-type and n-type silicon is investigated using the first principles calculation with non-equilibrium Green function. We find that a large density of states is formed during silicon surface relaxation and they are further changed during hydrogenated process. …”

Nature-based solutions for flood risk reduction : a probabilistic modeling framework by Lallemant, David, Hamel, Perrine, Balbi, Mariano, Lim, Tian Ning, Schmitt, Rafael, Win, Shelly

“…Results for the Chindwin River basin in Myanmar highlight the potential consequences of deforestation on long-term flood risk. We find that loss reduction is driven by small but frequent storms, suggesting that current practice relying on large storms may underestimate the benefits of nature-based solutions. …”

Optimal gain sensing of quantum-limited phase-insensitive amplifiers by Nair, Ranjith, Tham, Guo Yao, Gu, Mile

“…Phase-insensitive optical amplifiers uniformly amplify each quadrature of an input field and are of both fundamental and technological importance. We find the quantum limit on the precision of estimating the gain of a quantum-limited phase-insensitive amplifier using a multimode probe that may also be entangled with an ancilla system. …”

Impact of interannual and multidecadal trends on methane-climate feedbacks and sensitivity by Cheng, Chin-Hsien, Redfern, Simon Anthony Turner

“…Over decadal time scales, we find alternating rate-limiting factors for methane oxidation: when CCH4 is limiting, positive methane-climate feedback via direct oceanic emissions dominates; when •OH is limiting, negative feedback is favoured. …”

An efficient time-domain implementation of the multichromophoric Förster resonant energy transfer method by Zhong, Kai, Nguyen, Hoang Long, Do, Thanh Nhut, Tan, Howe-Siang, Knoester, Jasper, Jansen, Thomas L. C.

“…We demonstrate that with this model, both the calculated spectra and the EET rates between the two rings within the LH2 complex agree well with experimental results. We further find that the transfer between the strongly coupled rings of neighboring LH2 complexes can also be well described with our method. …”
