Building fame through tea: the Wu Family and the Manufacture of zisha teapots during the Ming and Qing dynasties by Gao, X, Hein, A

“…By examining the Wu family’s connection with the origin of zisha teapots, this study investigates how Ming literati used material culture to shape family reputation. …”

Reconstituting ring-rafts in bud-mimicking topography of model membranes by Ryu, Yong-Sang, Lee, In-Ho, Suh, Jeng-Hun, Park, Seung Chul, Oh, Soojung, Jordan, Luke R., Wittenberg, Nathan J., Oh, Sang-Hyun, Jeon, Noo Li, Lee, Byoungho, Parikh, Atul N., Lee, Sin-Doo

“…In all cases, in addition to the generation or relief of the curvature stress, the buds recruit specific lipids and proteins from the donor membrane through restricted diffusion for the development of a ring-type raft domain of closed topology. Here, by reconstituting the bud topography in a model membrane, we demonstrate the preferential localization of cholesterol- and sphingomyelin-enriched microdomains in the collar band of the bud-neck interfaced with the donor membrane. …”

Experimental study of a single mode fiber ring laser by Lau, Zhong Yi

“…This study will investigate the method of achieving passive mode-locking from a nonlinear polarization rotational technique in a single mode fiber ring laser. It will use two different polarization isolators, dependent and independent, to witness fundamental solitons forming when it reaches mode-locking gain saturation. …”
