The role of the spleen in mediating pathology in Plasmodium Yoelii (P.yoelii) infection by Huang, Ximei

“…Differences in the ability of the spleen to deal with the infected red blood cells (iRBCs) are linked to differences in virulence. Using virulent and avirulent Plasmodium yoelii strains, we investigated how parasite virulence modulates overall spleen function. …”

Autonomous control of interlinking converter with energy storage in hybrid AC–DC microgrid by Loh, Poh Chiang, Li, Ding, Chai, Yi Kang, Blaabjerg, Frede

“…The coexistence of ac and dc subgrids in a hybrid microgrid is likely given that modern distributed sources can either be ac or dc. Linking these subgrids is a power converter, whose topology should preferably be not too unconventional. …”

Cyberbullying: differentiating offenders criminal roles using a narrative‐based approach by Fumagalli, Anita, Trayford, Tori Jillings, Chrysikos, Alexandros

“…However, there is a need to explore, categorize and identify cyberbullies and their characteristics so that inferences and crime links can be made to prevent the crime. The present study aimed to investigate whether the Narrative Action System Model (NASM) could be used to identify and examine the psychological underpinnings of different cyberbully offending styles. …”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”
