Towards the prevention of pressure ulcers by Kwek, Milton Sheng Yi

“…Ischaemia reperfusion (I/R) injury has been one of the potential causes of PU. This injury happens as bony prominences are rested on surfaces for relatively long periods of time where tissues experience ischaemia. …”

Low biodegradability of dissolved organic matter from Southeast Asian peat-draining rivers by Nichols, Robert S., Martin, Patrick

“…Despite substantial interest in the biogeochemical fate of terrigenous DOC (tDOC), few studies have quantified phenol oxidase activity in aquatic environments, and microbial remineralization rates of tDOC have never been measured in Southeast Asia. Here, we assess the potential for using phenol oxidase assays as a proxy for tDOC biodegradation across peat-draining rivers and the coastal waters of Sarawak, Borneo, and report experimental measurements of microbial tDOC remineralization rates from this region. …”

Curvature-regulated lipid membrane softening of nano-vesicles by Chng, Choon-Peng, Sadovsky, Yoel, Hsia, K. Jimmy, Huang, Changjin

“…Understanding the interplay between vesicle size and stiffness is critical to both the understanding of the biological functions of natural nano-vesicles and the optimization of nano-vesicle-based diagnostics and therapeutics. It has been predicted that, when vesicle size is comparable to its membrane thickness, the effective bending stiffness of the vesicle increases dramatically due to both the entropic effect as a result of reduced thermal undulation and the nonlinear curvature elasticity effect. …”

Cationic glycosylated block co-β-peptide acts on the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria as anti-biofilm agents by Zhang, Kaixi, Raju, Cheerlavancha, Zhong, Wenbin, Pethe, Kevin, Gründling, Angelika, Chan-Park, Mary B.

“…Wall teichoic acid (WTA), a generic anionic glycopolymer present on the cell surface of many Gram-positive bacteria, has been proposed as a possible therapeutic target, but its druggability remains to be demonstrated. …”

Investigating the inner controls on explosive eruptions using textural analyses and petrology by Bernard, Olivier

“…An effusive eruption generating slow-moving lava flows will be a lot less destructive than a violent explosive eruption producing large pyroclastic density currents (PDC). Recently, it has been shown that most volcanoes around the globe and particularly in a subduction-setting, are able to produce both effusive and violently explosive eruptions with sometimes rapid transitions between eruption styles in the span of a few hours to minutes. …”

Nearly total optical transmission of linearly polarized light through transparent electrode composed of GaSb monolithic high-contrast grating integrated with gold by Tobing, Landobasa Yosef Mario, Wasiak, Michal, Zhang, Dao Hua, Fan, Weijun, Czyszanowski, Tomasz

“…Achieving high transmission of light through a highly conductive structure implemented on a semiconductor remains a challenge in optoelectronics as the transmission is inevitably deteriorated by absorption and Fresnel reflection. There have been numerous efforts to design structures with near-unity transmission, yet they are typically constrained by a trade-off between conductivity and optical transmission. …”
