Intercity connectivity and urban innovation by Liang, Xiaofan, Hidalgo, César A, Balland, Pierre-Alexandre, Zheng, Siqi, Wang, Jianghao

“…Urban outputs, from economy to innovation, are known to grow as a power of a city's population. But, since large cities tend to be central in transportation and communication networks, the effects attributed to city size may be confounded with those of intercity connectivity. …”

Frataxin deficiency promotes endothelial senescence in pulmonary hypertension

“…Cellular senescence is linked to PH with intracardiac shunts; however, its regulation across PH subtypes is unknown. Since endothelial deficiency of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters is pathogenic in PH, we hypothesized that a Fe-S biogenesis protein, frataxin (FXN), controls endothelial senescence. …”

Motion Phantom Development for MRI by Liu, Kerlina

“…The development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has enabled health care professionals to non-invasively visualize subjects' soft tissue for medical diagnosis. Since it's conception, artifacts due to patients' movement have shown themselves to be an issue and an assortment of tools and methods have been developed to help mitigate the effect of motion on MRI but such mitigation methods are generally only applicable on a case by case basis depending on the specific type of motion. …”

Effect of Madden Julian oscillation on convectively coupled equatorial waves by Dobriyal, Ritvik

“…In order to understand the impact of MJO on CCEW, a simplified theoretical model of convectively coupled waves is employed. Since MJO has a larger spatial structure and greater time period as compared to CCEW, therefore the theoretical model is modified by using MJO as a background. …”

Impedance and parasitic capacitance analysis of SiC MOSFETs by Tan, Wei Jie

“…Both GaN and SiC are wide bandgap technologies, which means they provide faster switching speeds and higher breakdown voltages than IGBTs and power MOSFETs. Since MOSFETs’ demands have been increasing for high switching applications, there is a need to analyze the ageing as well as the degradation, in order to protect and at the same time prolong the lifetime of MOSFETs. …”

Development of a learning system for robot control by Leong, Marcus Khee Ing

“…The neural network is trained with joint angle and joint velocity as inputs, while the target is to predict the end-effector velocity. Since the kinematic model of UR5e is assumed to be unknown, the end-effector position is detected by using an external sensor (Kinect for Windows 2012) and ArUco marker. …”

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors as molecular links between caloric restriction and circadian rhythm by Duszka, Kalina, Wahli, Walter

“…Further, we identify a link between circadian rhythm and the outcomes of CR on the whole-body level including oxidative stress, inflammation, and aging. Since PPARs contribute to many changes triggered by CR, we discuss the potential involvement of PPARs in bridging CR and circadian rhythm.…”

A theoretical insight into the use of anti-reflective coatings for the upliftment of sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance sensors by Das, Chandreyee Manas, Ouyang, Qingling, Dinh, Xuan-Quyen, Coquet, Philippe, Yong, Ken-Tye

“…Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) based biosensors have been around in the scientific community for more than two decades and these have facilitated enormous improvement in the detection of complex biomolecules. Since, sensitivity of these sensors directly affects the ease of detection, our work here focuses on using dielectric nanosheets of Titania and Silica to enhance the sensitivity. …”
