The Eoan Group and the politics of coloured opera in apartheid South Africa by Pistorius, JM

“…Its 1956 production of <em>La Traviata</em> was the first opera produced by non-white people in South Africa, and initiated an operatic career that spanned twelve opera seasons and ten operas. The group was under the administration of white directors and received funding from the apartheid government. …”

Investigations into high resolution imaging of the aqueous outflow system and cornea by Hong, Jesmond Xun Jie

“…Corneal topography is achieved by moving the scanning spot across eye in a raster fashion. The ability of the proposed configuration to provide cellular level resolution potentially enables identification and characterization of infectious agent during an inflammatory response. …”

Synthesis of the cyclo-tetrasilicates by Ng, Jing Jie.

“…Different heating profiles and different composition of the initial reactants produced the same range of compounds in the samples, only with the weight proportions varying. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDS) showed the different structural forms present in the sample after the solid-state chemical synthesis. …”

Two dimensional TiS2 based composites synthesized with metal organic framework by Chen, Yan

“…Herein, the morphology of samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Through a systematic examination, an optimum experimental condition was determined for generating products containing large TiS2-MOF thin films with smooth surface and a few residues (isolated MOF particles). …”

Modelling the rheology of living cell cytoplasm: poroviscoelasticity and fluid-to-solid transition by Thekkethil, Namshad, Köry, Jakub, Guo, Ming, Stewart, Peter S., Hill, Nicholas A., Luo, Xiaoyu

“…Baseline simulations (neglecting the viscosity of the cytosol) indicate that the system exhibits seven different regimes across the parameter space spanned by the viscoelastic relaxation timescale of the cytoskeleton and the poroelastic diffusion timescale; these regimes agree qualitatively with experimental measurements. …”

Asymmetries in the effects of drivers of brand loyalty between early and late adopters and across technology generations by Lam, Shun Yin, Shankar, Venkatesh

“…We test these hypotheses using structural equation modeling on a unique cross-sectional dataset of attitudes toward mobile phone brands spanning two technology generations, 2.5G and 3G. The results reveal important asymmetries between adopter types and between technology generations: early adopters of mobile devices emphasize perceived value, whereas late adopters rely on brand satisfaction in developing brand loyalty; and consumers depend more on trust and less on perceived value in developing loyalty for the new generation than for the existing generation. …”

A tri-level typhoon-DAD robust optimization framework to enhance distribution network resilience by Hou, Hui, Wu, Wenjie, Zhang, Zhiwei, Wei, Ruizeng, Wang, Lei, He, Huan, Dong, Zhao Yang

“…In the third level, the Nested Column-and-Constraint Generation algorithm is used to solve distribution network reconfiguration and intentional islanding. Simulation time is spanned to the entire 24-hour disaster day. In the end, the proposed framework is tested through a case study using real data from super typhoon “Mangkhut” (2018) in Yangjiang, China. …”

A functionally arranged phononic crystal rod enabling ultra-wideband vibration attenuation and orderly frequency distillation by Lou, Jia, Fan, Hui, Yang, Jie, Zhang, Aibing, Du, Jianke

“…Based on these calculations, careful parameter selection yields a compact configuration for a functionally arranged phononic crystal rod, boasting an exceptionally wide band gap spanning frequencies from 100 Hz to 10,000 Hz. Finite element simulations vividly demonstrate its ultra-broadband vibration attenuation capability, nonsymmetrical wave propagation behavior, and orderly frequency distillation phenomenon. …”

Adaptive routing for layer-2 load balancing in data center networks by Kanagavelu, Renuga, Lee, Francis Bu-Sung, Ragavendran, Vasanth, Aung, Khin Mi Mi

“…However, the existing Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) used in the traditional Ethernet networks becomes inefficient for Data Centers as it underutilizes the resources due to the lack of multipath capability leading to poor bandwidth utilization. …”
