Exploring oxonium ion chemistry in natural product synthesis by Hicks, HB

“…The project is centred around a new biosynthesis postulate for natural products of the dioxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane class (<strong>I-III</strong>), in which a complex allyl oxonium ion (<strong>V</strong>) is proposed to be their progenitor through reaction of nucleophiles with the oxonium ion at the allylic position. …”

Characterization on MOF-based TFN membranes for metal ions separation and recovery by Ong, Jia Kang

“…The study also assesses how well-suited as-characterised TFN membranes are for applications involving the recovery and separation of metal ions. Through this study, a fundamental understanding of MOF-based TFN membranes will be achieved, which will aid in the creation of more effective and long-lasting techniques for the recovery and separation of metal ions.…”

Event-driven spiking neural networks using asynchronous-logic network-on-chip routers in field programmable gate array (FPGA) by Wu, Si

“…Compared with the second-generation neural network, SNN uses spikes to process information. The neuronal units in SNNs are only active when they receive or emit spikes, so it is event-driven, thus making it energy-efficient. …”

Dok3 restrains neutrophil production of calprotectin during TLR4 sensing of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by Loh, Jia Tong, Teo, Joey Kay Hui, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…In this study, we showed that Dok3 adaptor restrains calprotectin production by neutrophils in response to SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein engagement of TLR4. Dok3 recruits SHP-2 to mediate the de-phosphorylation of MyD88 at Y257, thereby attenuating downstream JAK2-STAT3 signaling and calprotectin production. …”

Binding of TCR multimers and a TCR-like antibody with distinct fine-specificities is dependent on the surface density of HLA complexes by Low, Jianrong L., Gehring, Adam J., Kranz, David M., Grotenbreg, Gijsbert M., Yau, Yin Hoe, Shochat, Susana Geifman, Bertoletti, Antonio, Naidoo, Anneta, Yeo, Gladys, Ho, Zi Zong

“…In line with this, we report the construction of a soluble tetrameric form of an αβ T cell receptor (TCR) specific for the HBV epitope Env183–191 restricted by HLA-A*02:01, and compare its avidity and fine-specificity with a TCR-like monoclonal antibody generated against the same HLA target. …”

Programmable spin–orbit-torque logic device with integrated bipolar bias field for chirality control by Lim, Gerard Joseph, Chua Daniel, Gan Weiliang, Murapaka Chandrasekhar, Lew Wen Siang

“…While several field-free spin–orbit torque (SOT)-driven logic devices have been proposed, their operation typically requires additional initialization or reset pulses, the exchange-coupled canted spins reduce both anomalous Hall sign-to-noise ratio as well as thermal stability of the ferromagnetic layer, and device-to-device variation in exchange coupling strength is expected. …”

Janus particle preparation through UV-induced partial photodegradation of spin-coated particle films by Tan, Jasmine Si Jia, Wong, Chong Hui, Chen, Zhong

“…Photocatalytic titanium dioxide particles prefunctionalized with a surface coating were assembled as particle films via spin-coating on a substrate. The particle films were placed directly under an ultraviolet light source, which induced the photodegradation of the surface coating only on the particle surfaces exposed to the light. …”
