Programmable interfacial band configuration in WS2/Bi2O2Se heterojunctions by Zhang, Hanwen, Fu, Jianhui, Carvalho, Alexandra, Poh, Eng Tuan, Chung, Jing-Yang, Feng, Minjun, Chen, Yinzhu, Wang, Bo, Shang, Qiuyu, Yang, Hengxing, Zhang, Zheng, Lim, Sharon Xiaodai, Gao, Weibo, Gradečak, Silvija, Qiu, Cheng-Wei, Lu, Junpeng, He, Chunnian, Sum, Tze Chien, Sow, Chorng Haur

“…Using this material combination, we further design a sophisticated band architecture incorporating both type-I (WS2 straddles Bi2O2Se, fluorescence-quenched) and type-I (Bi2SeO5 straddles WS2, fluorescence-recovered) alignments in one sample through focused laser beam (FLB). By programming the FLB trajectory, we achieve a predesigned localized fluorescence micropattern on WS2 without changing its intrinsic atomic structure. …”

论李世民音乐政治观对儒家礼乐思想的继承和转化 = A study on Li Shimin music-politics: inheritance and transformation of Confucian ritual and music thought by 许惠佳 Koh, Hwee Kay

“…To a certain extent, he had inherited Yueji, Confucian ritual and Music thought - which extensively covers the social influence and educational function of music to society – while at the same time, his Music-politics thought bears much resemblance to those of Ji Kang. This article hopes to explore in detail Li Shimin’s Music-politics thought, and by using Yueji as a comparison, analyses how his inheritance and transformation of Confucian Ritual and Music thought played an important role in shaping the Tang Culture.…”

Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…To further improve the tensile properties of the SWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, we fabricated another series of PI-derived block copolymers via ring-opening polymerization initiated from hydroxyl-terminated polyimide of lactide and allyl-bearing 2-methyl-2-(allyloxycarbonyl)propylene carbonate) (MAC) to produce PLA-b-PI-b-PLA (TB1) and PMAC-b-PI-b-PMAC (TB2) which are polyester and poly(ester-carbonate)-derived, respectively. …”

THE BEAUTY OF FALLING : A Life in Pursuit of Gravity / by Rham, Claudia de 656071

“…And, in the very same way that we can "see" light, which is nothing other than an electromagnetic wave propagating through space and time, we can now "hear" gravity in the form of gravitational waves (waves in the very fabric of spacetime). …”

Investigation of solar cell carrier lifetime using photoconductance lifetime measurements by Sng, Joseph Ding Wen

“…For comparison, we have also studied electron beam deposited MoOx as a passivation layer. The evaluation of the quality of the passivation is done by measuring the effective lifetime of Si via the Sinton WCT-120 Photoconductance Lifetime tester. …”

Constructing 3D self-supporting surfaces with isotropic stress using 4D minimal hypersurfaces of revolution by Ma, Long, He, Ying, Sun, Qian, Zhou, Yuanfeng, Zhang, Caiming, Wang, Wenping

“…The existing thrust network analysis methods discretize both geometry and material by approximating the continuous stress field through uniaxial singular stresses, making them an ideal tool for analysis and design of beam structures. In contrast, our method works on piecewise linear surfaces with continuous material. …”

Effect of geometric scaling on the microstructural development of selective laser melted metal parts by Ng, Angelin Shia Yin

“…This study discusses the effect of geometric scaling, delay time (i.e., the time it takes for the laser beam to jump from one scan vector to the adjacent scan vector, which is controlled by the jump speed), gas flow, and defocusing distance on microstructural development and mechanical properties of selective laser melted 316L stainless steel. 316L stainless steel has been used in various industries such as aerospace and petrochemical industries due to its superior properties such as very good corrosion resistance. …”

On shear adhesion of adhesive fibrils by Linghu, Changhong, Du, Zihao, Sun, Yi, Chen, Weiqiu, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Our model reveals that, depending on the fibrillar aspect ratio, the adhesive fibril exhibits three distinct deformation regimes: thin film shearing, thick block shearing, and slender beam bending. The important parameters governing the shear adhesion of the lap shear system are the aspect ratio of fibrils, elastic moduli of the fibrils and substrates, while the Poisson's ratio of fibrils has no noticeable effect. …”

Effects of plant functional group removal on CO2 fluxes and belowground C stocks across contrasting ecosystems by Grau-Andrés, Roger, Wardle, David A., Gundale, Michael J., Foster, Claire N., Kardol, Paul

“…We found that long-term shrub and moss removal increased forest floor net CO2 loss and decreased belowground C stocks consistently across the islands irrespective of their productivity or soil fertility. However, we did see context-dependent responses of respiration to shrub removals because removals only increased respiration on islands of intermediate productivity. …”
