Synthesis and telomeric G-quadruplex-stabilizing ability of macrocyclic hexaoxazoles bearing three side chains by Ma, Yue, Iida, Keisuke, Sasaki, Shogo, Hirokawa, Takatsugu, Heddi, Brahim, Nagasawa, Kazuo, Phan, Anh Tuân

“…Here, we describe the synthesis of a new series of macrocyclic hexaoxazole-type G4 ligand (6OTD) bearing three side chains. One of these ligands, 5b, stabilizes telomeric G4 preferentially over the G4-forming DNA sequences of c-kit and K-ras, due to the interaction of its piperazinylalkyl side chain with the groove of telomeric G4.…”

Rapidly yawing spheroids in viscous shear flow: emergent loss of symmetry by Dalwadi, M

“…We investigate the emergent three-dimensional (3D) dynamics of a rapidly yawing spheroidal swimmer interacting with a viscous shear flow. We show that the rapid yawing generates non axisymmetric emergent effects, with the active swimmer behaving as an effective passive particle with two orthogonal planes of symmetry. …”

Load‑bearing behaviors of sandwich plates with non‑uniformly distributed grid cores : Static compression and bending by Hao, Ning, Wang, Youlong, Song, Yiheng, Ruan, Sihan, Quanjin, Ma, Wang, Ziying

“…Under bending loading, most NUGPs experience local failure at the loading head, while the specific category surpassing GPs undergoes shear buckling in longer grid walls. (3) Deformation modes of the core layer, mechanical analysis, thin plate buckling theory, and equivalent bending stiffness calculations elucidate the load-bearing mechanisms of NUGPs. …”

Brand- and price-based usage pattern analysis on peer-to-peer car-sharing platform by Tan, Xuan Yi

“…The Sharing Economy has greatly improved people’s lives by bringing convenience of sharing daily necessities from portable chargers to vehicles such as bicycles and cars with lower cost. With the prevalence of Sharing Economy and the increasing support on car- sharing from the Chinese government, the NTU-BMW Future Mobility Research Lab wants to find out more on consumers’ usage patterns, based on car brand and price of the Chinese peer-to-peer car-sharing users. …”

Anomalous crystalline ordering of particles in a viscoelastic fluid under high shear by Sun, Sijie, Xue, Nan, Aime, Stefano, Kim, Hyoungsoo, Tang, Jizhou, McKinley, Gareth H., Stone, Howard A., Weitz, David A.

“…Addition of particles to a viscoelastic suspension dramatically alters the properties of the mixture, particularly when it is sheared or otherwise processed. Shear-induced stretching of the polymers results in elastic stress that causes a substantial increase in measured viscosity with increasing shear, and an attractive interaction between particles, leading to their chaining. …”
