Visual hull based 3D reconstruction of shocks in under-expanded supersonic bevelled jets by Lim, Desmond Haoxiang, New, Tze How, Mariani, Raffaello, Cui, Y. D.

“…When applied to bevelled jets with non-uniform nozzle exit geometries, an additional assumption was made to address the problem of schlieren line-of-sight blockage by the non-conventional nozzle, and reconstruction errors were found to be larger near regions of poorer shock wave contrast. …”

The impact of protozoan predation on the pathogenicity of Vibrio cholerae by Espinoza-Vergara, Gustavo, Hoque, M. Mozammel, McDougald, Diane, Noorian, Parisa

“…Many of these intra-phagosomal factors used to kill and digest bacteria are highly conserved between eukaryotic cells and thus are also expressed by the innate immune system in the gastrointestinal tract as the first line of defense against bacterial pathogens. Since pathogenic bacteria have been shown to be hypervirulent after they have passed through protozoa, the resistance to digestion by protist hosts in their natural environment plays a key role in enhancing the infectious potential of pathogenic Vibrio spp. …”

A transgenic zebrafish for in vivo visualization of cilia by Zhang, Hongyu, Huang, Zhuoya, Lv, Liuliu, Xin, Yuye, Wang, Qian, Li, Feng, Dong, Lina, Wu, Changxin, Ingham, Philip William, Zhao, Zhonghua

“…The cilia in multiple cell types are efficiently labelled by the encoded fusion protein from embryonic stages to adulthood, without any developmental and physiological defects. We show that the line allows live imaging of ciliary dynamics and trafficking of cilia proteins, such as Kif7 and Smo, key regulators of the Hedgehog signalling pathway. …”

Investigation of the fuel consumption of a ship considering the dynamic coupling effect among resistance, propeller torque and engine power under the control of a governor by Beh, Gerald Kah Hooi

“…Through developing the model, it was found that the engine speed would accelerate at an unrealistic rate, and a slope limiter was fitted in order to control the rate of change of engine speed in line with the manufacturer’s specifications. Thereafter, the effects of using the model to simulate real conditions were studied, with an emphasis on evaluating model performance given real inputs such as wind and wave resistance values. …”

Bolstering functionality in multilayer and bilayer WS₂ via focused laser micro-engraving by Chan, Si Min, Poh, Eng Tuan, Leong, Jin Feng, Goh, Johnson Kuan Eng, Sow, Chorng Haur

“…Coupled with the flexible maneuver of the laser, various monolayer designs can be achieved, including micro-antenna, waveguide, and electrode geometries with lateral line widths at 1.5 µm resolution. Furthermore, we also detail the optical properties of the monolayers obtained from laser thinning, with those acquired from multilayers containing more defect-bound excitons, whereas those lasered from bilayers presenting a trion-dominated profile similar to as-grown monolayers. …”
