Surface modification of additive manufactured components by ultrasonic cavitation abrasive finishing by Tan, Kai Liang, Yeo, Song Huat

“…Scanning electron microscopic images revealed that most small-sized partially melted powders were removed through heterogeneous cavitation nucleation on the specimens’ rough initial surface. A secondary fine-scale erosion mechanism by micro-abrasives, accelerated by cavitation bubble collapses, further depressed difficult-to-remove irregularities.…”

Triple boundary multiphase with predictive interleaving technique for switched capacitor DC-DC converter regulation by Xiao, Zhekai, Kok, Chiang Liang, Siek, Liter

“…The proposed technique avoids these problems by using triple boundary hysteretic control, where one comparator is used for defining the reference voltage, and the other two comparators enable coarse/fine operation to achieve both fast recovery and tight regulation.…”

Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…Consequently, several mechanisms have been proposed to explain their persistence, including negative density dependence, demographic compensation, vital rate buffering, asynchronous responses of subpopulations to environmental heterogeneity, and fine-scale source-sink dynamics. Persistence of seeds in a seed bank, which is often ignored in models of population dynamics, can also buffer small populations against collapse. …”

Cadmium isotope fractionation during adsorption onto calcite by Peng, H, Liu, P, Zheng, H, Belshaw, NS, Hu, S, Zhu, Z

“…The enrichment of lighter Cd isotopes may result from highly distorted octahedral Cdsingle bondO6 sites of inner-sphere Cd complexes on calcite, indicated by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). However, near identical coordination environments of the aqueous and sorbed Cd species in the presence of PO43− likely led to the reduced Cd isotope fractionation. …”

Investigating the role of factor inhibiting HIF (FIH) in tumourigenesis by Ma, J

“…Factor Inhibiting HIF (FIH), an oxygen-dependent hydroxylase of HIF, inhibits the transcription of selective HIF target genes, and is hence a potential therapeutic target to fine-tune HIF activity. However, how FIH may affect tumourigenesis has not been comprehensively investigated.…”

Integration of genetic data and genomic annotation in the analysis of genome wide association studies by Ng, E

“…An example of an identified association was that between serum apolipoprotein B levels and rs7412, which is consistent with other GWAS. To fine map these loci and assign functional annotation, I created Bayesian credible sets and checked for overlap between SNPs in these credible sets and regulatory marks in the Encyclopaedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) database. …”

Structural insights into cold-active lipase from Glaciozyma antarctica PI12: AlphaFold2 prediction and molecular dynamics simulation by Matinja, Adamu Idris, Ahmad Kamarudin, Nor Hafizah, Leow, Adam Thean Chor, Oslan, Siti Nurbaya, Mohamad Ali, Mohd Shukuri

“…Cold-active lipase applications are now growing in the detergency, synthesis of fine chemicals, food processing, bioremediation, and pharmaceutical industries. …”

Responses of gas exchange and growth in Merkus pine seedlings to expected climatic changes in Thailand by Koskela, Jarkko

“…A carbon-and nitrogen-balance growth model applied structural regularities of a tree and a modification of functional balance between foliage and fine roots as growth-guiding rules. Adaptation to local climates was incorporated in the models. …”

Yeast9: a consensus genome-scale metabolic model for S. cerevisiae curated by the community by Zhang, Chengyu, Sánchez, Benjamín J., Li, Feiran, Cheng, Eiden Wei Quan, Scott, William T., Liebal, Ulf W., Blank, Lars M., Mengers, Hendrik G., Anton, Mihail, Rangel, Albert Tafur, Mendoza, Sebastián N., Zhang, Lixin, Nielsen, Jens, Lu, Hongzhong, Kerkhoven, Eduard J.

“…Well able to predict the strains' growth rates, fluxomics from those large-scale ssGEMs outperformed transcriptomics in predicting functional categories for all studied genes in machine learning models. Based on those findings we anticipate that Yeast9 will continue to empower systems biology studies of yeast metabolism.…”
