Emerging roles of downstream of kinase 3 in cell signaling by Loh, Jia Tong, Teo, Joey Kay Hui, Lim, Hong-Hwa, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…Nonetheless, Dok-3 has since been implicated in the signaling of Toll-like and C-type lectin receptors. Emerging data further demonstrate that Dok-3 can act both as an activator and inhibitor, in lymphoid and non-lymphoid cell types, suggesting Dok-3 involvement in a plethora of signal transduction pathways. …”

Spontaneous emission of a quantum emitter near a Chern insulator : interplay of time-reversal symmetry breaking and Van Hove singularity by Lu, Bing-Sui, Arifa, Kathee Zathul, Hong, Xing Ru

“…By considering configurations in which the dipole is circularly polarized or parallel with the surface of the Chern insulator, we find that the surface correction to the transition rate can exhibit a novel decay with sine-integral-like oscillations.…”

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based ThT free sensing of beta-amyloid fibrillation by carbon dot-Ag composites by Nair, Radhika Vadakkini, Padmanabhan, Parasuraman, Gulyás, Balázs, Murukeshan, Vadakke Matham

“…Amyloid-beta proteins that form cytotoxic aggregates called amyloid-β derived diffusible ligands are responsible for various neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Novel methods for the early detection of such aggregates and inhibition of further fibrillation are highly important and need in the current situation. …”

Technological opportunities and challenges for Singapore logistics firm (sea perspective) by Tan, Bronessa Yan Ning

“…The literature review has identified that opportunities such as the call for efficiency and sustainability were giving rise to enabling technological solutions including drone deliveries and Additive Manufacturing (AM), but wider adoption scale by the industry has been hindered due to factors like digital trust and digital immaturity. Given that the industry has been conservative in terms of technological adoption, many proven technological solutions used by other digitally advanced industries are available to be implemented. …”

An accurate spectral method for the transverse magnetic mode of Maxwell equations in Cole-Cole dispersive media by Huang, Can, Wang, Li-Lian

“…With this in mind, we introduce a spectral-Galerkin method using Fourier-like basis functions for spatial discretization, leading to a sequence of decoupled temporal integral-differential equations (IDE) with the same weakly singular kernel involving the ML function as the original two-dimensional problem. …”
