Development and characterization of collagen type I and hyaluronic acid (HA) based interlaced scaffolds for tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVS) by Nazir, R

“…While evaluated against the criterion for tissue engineered heart valve (TEHV), S-3 and S-4 among interlaced scaffolds/compositions not only matched mechanically but also showed high degradation resistance which potentially made them as '<b>close-fit</b>' candidates. Findings from this thesis indicated that collagen/HA interlaced scaffolds have the potential to fill in the niche for designing an ideal TEHV. …”

Local climate action from the middle-out: the social potential of craft guilds to facilitate low-carbon installations in Germany by Wehden, S, Janda, KB, Jansen, J, Creutzig, F

“…Situated between policymaking and on-the-ground installation, guilds have unique agency and capacity qualities deriving from preferential access to the local implementers of low-carbon transitions and legal commissions with critical tasks including training, informing, and associating installers. However, we find that guilds suffer from resource constraints, membership declines, and a lack of deliberate activation. …”

Patterns of link reciprocity in directed, signed networks by Gallo, A, Saracco, F, Lambiotte, R, Garlaschelli, D, Squartini, T

“…Most of the analyses concerning signed networks have focused on the balance theory, hence identifying frustration with undirected, triadic motifs having an odd number of negative edges; much less attention has been paid to their directed counterparts. To fill this gap, we focus on signed, directed connections, with the aim of exploring the notion of frustration in such a context. …”

Relationship of sperm protamine content with bull breeding soundness evaluation and sperm DNA damage by Mohamed Abbad Alfadel, Fatima

“…Post hoc pairwise comparison showed an increased DNA damage in bulls with lower protamine values. The findings of this study concluded that sperm protamine can be used as a useful biomarker to predict semen quality and male potential fertility. …”

Understanding Indexing Efficiency for Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search in High-dimensional Vector Databases by Qin, Yuting

“…One of the most promising ANN indexing approaches is the graphbased approach, which first constructs a proximity graph on the dataset, connecting pairs of vectors that are close to each other, then traverse the proximity graph for each query to find the closest vectors to a query vector. The search performance, in terms of the scope of traversal that leads to convergence, is highly dependent on the quality of the graph. …”

Interface energetics and dynamics in organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites by Goh, Teck Wee

“…Firstly, the interface energetics of FAPbI3-based perovskites with organic charge extraction layers showed apparent upward band bending, but its origin is unexpectedly due to presence of δ-FAPbI3. This finding implicates solar cell operation as it causes inefficient extraction of photoexcited electrons to the PCBM. …”
