Insulinotropic activity of Tinospora crispa extract: effect on β-cell Ca2+ handling by Noor, Hamdan, Ashcroft, Stephen J. H.

“…The mechanism of insulinotropic action of Tinospora crispa was investigated in vitro using an insulin-secreting clonal β-cell line, HIT-T15. The aqueous extract sensitizes the β-cell to extracellular Ca2+ and promotes intracellular Ca2+ accumulation which in turn causes increased insulin release. …”

A general decentralized control scheme for medium-/high-voltage cascaded STATCOM by Hou, Xiaochao, Sun, Yao, Han, Hua, Liu, Zhangjie, Su, Mei, Wang, Benfei, Zhang, Xin

“…The local controller includes two parts: First, a Q-ω boost control is introduced to share reactive power equally; and second, a scalable P-V control is established for balancing dc-link voltage of inverters. The proposed scheme can achieve frequency synchronization autonomously, and thus has advantages of improved reliability, scalability, and decreased costs. …”

Habitat occupancy of terrestrial mammals along Singapore’s purpose-built wildlife corridor by Sivaraman Sivanantham

“…Construction of Bukit Timah Expressway in Singapore (1986) placed a physical barrier between Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Central Catchment Nature Reserve resulting in the fragmentation of these habitats that were connected. Eco-Link@BKE, a purpose-built wildlife corridor was constructed in 2013 to restore the connectivity, facilitating the safe passage of terrestrial animals across. …”

Integration of array antennas in chip package for 60-GHz radios by Liu, Duixian., Zhang, Y. P.

“…Then, we examine switched-beam array antennas using the Rotman lens or Butter matrix, illustrating that they allow scanning only in one plane and some miss a link even in the boresight direction. Nevertheless, a switched-beam array antenna uses a conceptually simple switch circuit to select the best signal path and may be a cost-effective approach to implementing steerable antennas in the 60-GHz band. …”
