Synthesis and reactivity of electron-deficient phosphorus(III) compounds by Dordevic, Nemanja

“…Transient formation of [1a]2+ and [1b]2+ is evidenced by activating C-F bonds of trifluorotoluene and [BArF4]- (ArF = (CF3)2-C6H3) anion. The replacement of carbodiphosphorane 1 with more nucleophilic and sterically less demanding carbodicarbene ligand {C6H4(MeN)2C}2C, 2 resulted in a series of P-dications [{C6H4(MeN)2C}2C.PR]2+ (R = NiPr2, Ph, OMe, tBu, Cl) whose spectroscopic and structural features are presented. …”

Towards a Single Bio-molecule Detector Based on CMOS Nanofluidic Platform by Zikrallah, Ahmed S.

“…Cytokines secretion is a core component of the function of many cell therapy products: It affects the tissue repair capacity of induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) and Mesenchymal Stem cells (MSCs) and the tumorigenicity of Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies. Ideally, we would be able to continuously monitor the secretome of these cell therapies as they are transformed and expanded in manufacturing.However, state-of-theart techniques for monitoring typically low concentrations of cytokines require either Mass Spectroscopy (MS) or immunoassays like Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). …”

Biologically inspired visual intelligence for unmanned ground vehicles by Peyman Moghadam

“…Based on empirical evidences, it is known that when human drivers become familiar with the road situations, they prefer to look at the far field where the road edges converge (called the vanishing point) to anticipate the upcoming road trajectory and the car steering with maximal lead time. Based on these findings, vanishing point is considered as a salient and consistent feature during most of the open driving behavior tasks regardless of type of the environments. …”

Thermodynamic modelling of adsorption isotherms and kinetics for gas storage and cooling applications by Sun, Baichuan

“…The experimental setup is extensively utilised to measure the amount of methane uptake for the temperatures ranging from 120 K to 303 K and pressures up to 10 bar. The proposed isotherm model is validated with the experimental data of silica gel + water and AQSOA-Z01, Z02, Z05 + water systems, and explains the S-shaped isotherms within acceptable error ranges (±5%), as compared with Langmuir and Toth isotherm equations. …”

Electrical machine fault analysis and modelling by using electromagnetic approach by Zhang, Meng Qi

“…The study in this thesis indicates that the stator inter-turn winding short-circuit fault can also result in irreversi-ble demagnetization for the bar-wounded permanent magnet machines. Moreover, an analytical model is designed to predict winding short-circuit current, which significantly reduce the time required by finite element method to assess machine irreversible demagnetization. …”
