Clinacanthus nutans crude polysaccharide extract as a green platform for microwave-assisted synthesis of silver nanoparticles: Optimization, characterization, and evaluation of bio... by Devasvaran, Kogilavanee, Alallam, Batoul, Lee, Carmen, Yong, Yoke Keong, Lim, Vuanghao

“…An X-ray diffraction analysis exhibited intense Bragg's reflection peaks at (111), (200), (220), and (311), having a face-centered cubic structure of AgNP. Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy further confirmed the presence of silver in the synthesized UL_AgNP. …”

Efficient and Homogenous Precipitation of Sulfur Within a 3D Electrospun Heterocatalytic Rutile/Anatase TiO2-x Framework in Lithium–Sulfur Batteries by Feng, Ping, Dong, Kang, Xu, Yaolin, Zhang, Xia, Jia, Haojun, Prell, Henrik, Tovar, Michael, Manke, Ingo, Liu, Fuyao, Xiang, Hengxue, Zhu, Meifang, Lu, Yan

“…Herein, free-standing carbon nanofibers embedded with oxygen-deficient titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-x/CNFs) has been fabricated by a facile electrospinning method, which can support active electrode materials without the need for conductive carbon and binders. By carefully controlling the calcination temperature, a mixed phase of rutile and anatase was achieved in the TiO2-x nanoparticles. …”

Beyond-the-Ice: Designing Games for Facilitating Deeper Conversations by Lee, Cassandra

“…This work builds on formal knowledge from the social sciences, HCI, and game design, as well as informal knowledge from facilitation, gathering practices, party games, and Tarot, by presenting five distinct design principles aligned with theories grounded in past work: 1) Make emotional disclosure special; 2) Scaffold responsiveness; 3) Approach depth through fun; 4) Empower “the work” through constraints and permissions; 5) Center objects to feel with. Following a thorough Research through Design (RfD) method, I designed 15 unique prototypes and proof-of-concepts which explore various aspects of the five principles. …”
