Enhanced coupled-resonator-induced transparency and optical fano resonance via intracavity backscattering by Ang, Thomas Y. L., Ngo, Nam Quoc

“…In addition, it is found that the symmetric CRIT peaks can be reshaped into asymmetric OFR line shapes either by using TWMRs with different intracavity backscattering strengths when one input is launched into the circuit or by modulating the phase/amplitude difference between the dual contrapropagating inputs, which are launched into the circuit in the presence of intracavity backscattering. …”

Synergism between Curdlan and GM-CSF confers a strong inflammatory signature to Dendritic cells by Min, Lin, Siti Aminah Mohammad Isa, Fam, Wee Nih, Sze, Siu Kwan, Beretta, Ottavio, Mortellaro, Alessandra, Ruedl, Christiane

“…We further identified MAPK ERK as one possible integration site of both signals, because its phosphorylation was clearly augmented when curdlan was coapplied with GM-CSF. Our data demonstrate that the immunomodulatory activity of curdlan requires an additional signal provided by GM-CSF to successfully initiate a robust β-glucan-specific cytokine and chemokine response. …”

Additive strategies to mitigate humidity interference effects on PEDOT:PSS sensors for ammonia detection by Beniwal, Ajay, Ganguly, Priyanka, Khandelwal, Gaurav, Gond, Rahul, Rawat, Brajesh, Li, Chong

“…Current-voltage (I-V) characteristic assessments reveal a linear ohmic behaviour, emphasising the heightened conductivity of the samples with additives compared to the PEDOT:PSS sensor. When assessing the humidity response, the DMF modified PEDOT:PSS sensor exhibited minimal % response, registering only 37.01% at 90% humidity. …”
