Design and Synthesis of Stimuli-Responsive Polymers with Programmable Cleavability by Zafar, Hadiqa

“…The first chapter introduces bottlebrush polymers as nanocarriers for therapeutics, and provides a detailed literature analysis of the synthetic and architectural developments that have been reported for these constructs, as well as outlooks for the future. The second chapter reports the first synthesis of peptide-containing bivalent bottlebrush (co)polymers (BBPs), featuring caspase-3-cleavable peptides linked to fluorogenic probes that provide a “turnon” signal upon enzymatic cleavage. …”

Comparison of Finite Element Methods and Satellite InSAR for Monitoring Deformations of a Large Tailings Dam by Fetell, Robert Henry

“…This thesis presents a case study that investigates the accuracy of InSAR measurements and the predictive capabilities of finite element models using ground truth surface and sub-surface monitoring data applied to the Zelazny Most (SW Poland) copper tailings storage facility. This site has a well-documented history of lateral deformations in a critical section (XVIE) of the East dam that have been attributed to a deep-seated translation mechanism of shearing through the underlying Pliocene, glacial clays. …”

The Europa Imaging System (EIS) Investigation by Turtle, E. P., McEwen, A. S., Patterson, G. W., Ernst, C. M., Elder, C. M., Slack, K. A., Hawkins, S. E., McDermott, J., Meyer, H., DeMajistre, R., Espiritu, R., Seifert, H., Niewola, J.

“…The NAC is mounted on a 2-axis gimbal, ±30° cross- and along-track, that enables independent targeting and near-global (≥90%) mapping of Europa at ≤100-m pixel scale (to date, only ∼15% of Europa has been imaged at ≤900 m/pixel), as well as stereo imaging from as close as 50-km altitude to generate digital terrain models (DTMs) with ≤4-m ground sample distance (GSD) and ≤0.5-m vertical precision. …”

A LDO regulator with weighted current feedback technique for 0.47nF-10nF capacitive load by Tan, Xiao Liang, Chong, Sau Siong, Chan, Pak Kwong, Dasgupta, Uday

“…Through feedback of a weighted current, the WCF permits smart management of the output impedance as well as the gain from the inter-gain stage. Based on the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion, the WCF can avoid the right-half plane (RHP) pole and push the left-half plane (LHP) non-dominant complex pole pair to a higher frequency. …”

Correction of errors in tandem mass spectrum extraction enhances phosphopeptide identification by Hao, Piliang, Ren, Yan, Sze, Siu Kwan, Tam, James P.

“…Data analysis on nonphosphopeptide spectra indicates that this strategy applies to unmodified peptides as well. The identification of errors in spectrum extraction will promote the improvement of spectrum extraction tools in future.…”

21世纪中国电影英雄的塑造 = The making of a 21st century China film hero by 佘曜丞 Seah, Walter Yao Chen

“…From the beginning of the ancient times of worship, the image of a hero was crafted based on the times that it appears, showing that not only does a hero requires the qualities that its predecessors have, but it also must consist of the qualities that are recognized by the modern age as well. Thus, as time flows, the passing down of the image of the hero has made it more complex, gradually taking shape to be one that is known in the today’s world. …”

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

“…However, how these effects are mediated by environmental context or vary among ecosystems is not well understood. To study this, we used a long-term plant removal experiment set up across 30 forested lake islands in northern Sweden that collectively represent a strong gradient of soil fertility and ecosystem productivity. …”

Estimating human wrist stiffness during a tooling task by Phan, Gia-Hoang, Hansen, Clint, Tommasino, Paolo, Budhota, Aamani, Mohan, Dhanya Menoth, Hussain, Asif, Burdet, Etienne, Campolo, Domenico

“…A typical hand-held, abrasive tool used by humans during finishing tasks was instrumented at the handle (through which both robots and humans are attached to the tool) to assess the 3D force/torque interactions between operator and tool during finishing task, as well as the 3D kinematics of the tool itself. Building upon stochastic methods for human arm impedance estimation, the novelty of our approach is that we rely on the natural variability taking place during the multi-passes task itself to estimate (neuro-)mechanical impedance during motion. …”
