Water-rich sublithospheric melt channel in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean by Mehouachi, Fares, Singh, Satish C.

“…The required water concentration for melting increases with age; nevertheless, its corresponding total mass remains relatively constant, suggesting that most of the volatiles in the oceanic sublithospheric channel originate from a horizontal flux near the ridge axis.…”

The curious case of nomenclatures by Tan, Ying Ying

“…There are immensely more examples of Englishes around the world that have the suffix (or its near equivalent) than those without (American, Tanzanian, South African Englishes are just some of numerous examples); and the two well known Englishes that remain suffix-free are New Zealand English and Hong Kong English, which we can explain by way of a morphological misfit: the -er suffix does sound rather awkward. …”

Protection of cyclists by Xiao, Shunyu

“…However, statistics from Singapore Traffic Police Headquarters revealed that road traffic accidents involving cyclists has increased exponentially over the years and this trend is expected to continue with a larger cyclist population in the near future. To find out the how and why such accidents occurred, data from Singapore Traffic Police Headquarters were carefully examined. …”

Observation of vector solitons supported by third-order dispersion by Guo, Jun, Hu, Xiaonan, Song, Yu Feng, Shao, Guo Dong, Zhao, Lu Ming, Tang, Ding Yuan

“…Using a cavity dispersion and birefringence management technique we constructed a weakly birefringent cavity fiber laser with near-zero net cavity dispersion. Operating the fiber laser in either the net normal or net anomalous dispersion regime, we found that both dark-bright and antidark-bright vector solitons could be simultaneously formed as a result of incoherent cross-polarization phase modulation. …”

Frequency-selective propagation of localized spoof surface plasmons in a graded plasmonic resonator chain by Gao, Zhen, Gao, Fei, Shastri, Kunal Krishnaraj, Zhang, Baile

“…Transmission measurements and direct near-field mappings on this graded chain show that the propagation of localized spoof-SPPs can be cutoff at different positions along the graded chain under different frequencies due to the graded coupling between adjacent resonators. …”

3D Printing for Marketing and Advertisement Industry by Wu, Wenjin, Tor, Shu Beng

“…3D printing provides a new dimension for the communication of value of products and services to the audience through concept modelling, which prevents ambiguity of design throughout the product life cycle for design, visualisation, verification and presentation purposes. It provides near identical model of the prelaunch product for the customer to touch and see, and even to test the product functionality. …”

Modeling the mechanisms of non-neurogenic dynamic cerebral autoregulation by van Zijl, N, Banerjee, A, Payne, SJ

“…Objective: Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) refers to a collection of mechanisms that act to maintain steady state cerebral blood flow (CBF) near constant despite changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP), but which is known to become impaired in various cerebrovascular diseases. …”

Upconversion nanoparticles-modified aptasensors for highly sensitive mycotoxin detection for food quality and safety by Bahari, H-R, Mousavi Khaneghah, A, Eş, I

“…UCNPs consist of lanthanide ions in ceramic host, and their ladder-like energy levels at f-orbitals have unique photophysical properties, including converting low-energy photons to high-energy emissions by a series of complex processes and offering sharp, low-noise, and sensitive near-infrared to visible detection strategy to enhance the efficacy of aptasensors for novel mycotoxin detection. …”
