A Wurster-type covalent organic framework with internal electron transfer-enhanced catalytic capacity for tumor therapy by Liu, Yang, Zhao, Huan, Wang, Shihuai, Niu, Rui, Bi, Shuai, Han, Wang-Kang, Wang, Yinghui, Song, Shuyan, Zhang, Hongjie, Zhao, Yanli

“…Furthermore, MSA-2 is specifically released in response to ROS at the tumor site, minimizing the off-target side effects. More importantly, Co-TB COF-induced STING activation normalizes tumor vasculature and increases the expression of endothelial T cell adhesion molecules, which greatly enhance the infiltration and function of effector T cells. …”

Understanding the mechanisms of methylammonium-induced thermal instability in mixed-FAMA perovskites by Tay, Darrell Jun Jie, Febriansyah, Benny, Salim, Teddy, Kovalev, Mikhail, Sharma, Aakash, Koh, Teck Ming, Mhaisalkar, Subodh Gautam, Ager, Joel W., Mathews, Nripan

“…The results show that the thermal stability of FAMA perovskites decreases with more MA+, under degradation conditions that isolate the intrinsic thermal stability of the material (i.e., without moisture and oxygen effects). …”

Structure matching mechanism of nRu/FeCo2O4 for highly-selective oxidation of HMF toward FDCA by Wang, Qiong-Yu, Zhu, Yucheng, Jiang, Run, He, Gan, Zhao, Jun, Hu, Jun, Liu, Tao, Liu, Honghai, Loo, Siew-Leng, Chen, Zhong, Wang, Jie-Xin, Pan, Zhiyan, Li, Xiaonian, Cao, Dapeng, Hu, Zhong-Ting

“…Density-functional theory calculations further reveal the structure matching mechanism of nRu/FeCo2O4 for high-selective oxidation of HMF toward FDCA, that is, Ru loading in FeCo2O4 provides a more suitable structure matching configuration for adsorption of two-side chains in HMF, which could optimize the adsorption energy and thus increase reactivity. …”

Molecular and biochemical characterisation of human casein kinase I alpha splice variants by Yong, Thomas Joon Kin.

“…The 4.2 kb mRNA species of both splice variants contain five additional RNA-destabilising AU-rich element (ARE)motifs in their 3' untranslated regions, the 2.4 kb transcripts contain a single ARE; suggesting the longer transcripts may be more rapidly turned over. Compared to human CKIas, human CKIaL contains an additional 28 amino acids after Lys-|52, and a deletion of 12 amino acids after GIV323. …”

Experimental investigation of impact response of composite plates/panels by Gan, Jia Li

“…Results have shown that smaller the core size, the better it is for impact absorption as small core size can generate high concentration of cores per unit area so it provides the required stiffness in the sandwich panel and also, thicker sandwich panels have much thicker core to provide the stiffness and absorb more impact energy. Varying velocities will caused the energy absorption characteristics to differ where damage will be less localized under low velocity. …”

Advanced nanostructured materials : wide-band-gap oxides based magnetic semiconductors by Xing, Guozhong

“…Spintronics is very likely to have a significant impact on future generations of devices.Operation of spintronic devices could consume much less energy because aligning spins is more efficient than redistributing charges. The discovery of ferromagnetic ordering in wide-band-gap semiconductors generated tremendous attention by the theoretical prediction that Mn doped p-type ZnO would show room temperature ferromagnetism (RTFM). …”

Numerical modeling of the impacts of high albedo materials on building energy savings by R.E.W.M.R.K Nisansala Ratnadiwakara

“…The impact of increasing solar reflectance from 0.4 to 0.8 for non insulated reinforced concrete is equivalent to the impact achieved by including 20~22 mm of insulation material with 0.03 W/mK thermal conductivity and it was further verified, increasing solar reflectance in both non-insulated and insulated roofs are more effective in reducing conduction heat gain compared to the double skin roof. …”
