Environmental and social factors influencing the spatiotemporal variation of archaeological sites during the historical period in the Heihe River basin, northwest China by Shi, Zhilin, Chen, Tingting, Storozum, Michael J., Liu, Fengwen

“…In the Western Xia-Yuan period (AD 1038–1368), people mainly settled in the lower reaches of the Heihe River basin and only returned to the middle reaches of the Heihe River basin during the Ming and Qing dynasties (AD 1368–1912). Although climate change and the local environment affected human activities in Heihe River basin, geopolitical events, such as forced mass migrations, are more responsible for influencing the distribution of archaeological sites over the past 2000 years.…”

An in-depth study of software library upgrade dependency issues by Teo, Dave Hwa Tao

“…This final year project will be an extension of a previous study done by my senior, Nicholas Yeo Ming Jie (Project ID: SCSE21-0215), which had proposed a method to detect these vulnerabilities using Concrete Syntax Tree (CST) generated by parsing projects using LibCST. …”

Single atom catalysts on MXene for carbon dioxide reduction reaction by Lee, Daryll Shzen

“…These properties can be adjusted through various methods, such as modifying surface termination groups, altering layer thickness, ion intercalation, doping, and etching. Single-atom catalysts, a category of heterogeneous catalysts, contain isolated metal atoms dispersed on a support material. …”

Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticles can deliver bioavailable Pb but does not alter endogenous gut microbiota in zebrafish by Patsiou, Danae, del Rio-Cubilledo, Cristina, Catarino, Ana Isabel, Summers, Stephen, Afiq Mohd Fahmi, Boyle, David, Fernandes, Teresa F., Henry, Theodore B.

“…Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite NPs led to absorption of Pb likely from release of Pb ions rather than absorption of NPs. Pb-halide perovskite NPs can release bioavailable Pb and this needs to be considered during the development of this technology.…”

Efficient nitrate synthesis via ambient nitrogen oxidation with Ru-doped TiO₂/RuO₂ electrocatalysts by Kuang, Min, Wang, Yu, Fang, Wei, Tan, Huiteng, Chen, Mengxin, Yao, Jiandong, Liu, Chuntai, Xu, Jianwei, Zhou, Kun, Yan, Qingyu

“…Remarkably doping Ru into the TiO2 lattice can induce an upshift of the d-band center of the Ru site, resulting in enhanced activity for accelerating electrochemical conversion of inert N2 to active NO*. Overdoping of Ru ions will lead to the formation of additional RuO2 on the TiO2 surface, which provides oxygen evolution reaction (OER) active sites for promoting the redox transformation of the NO* intermediate to nitrate. …”

2023 roadmap for materials for quantum technologies by Becher, Christoph, Gao, Weibo, Kar, Swastik, Marciniak, Christian D., Monz, Thomas, Bartholomew, John G., Goldner, Philippe, Loh, Huanqian, Marcellina, Elizabeth, Goh, Johnson Kuan Eng, Koh, Teck Seng, Weber, Bent, Mu, Zhao, Tsai, Jeng-Yuan, Yan, Qimin, Huber-Loyola, Tobias, Höfling, Sven, Gyger, Samuel, Steinhauer, Stephan, Zwiller, Val

“…These include both the inherent quantum bit systems and materials playing supportive or enabling roles, and cover trapped ions, neutral atom arrays, rare earth ion systems, donors in silicon, color centers and defects in wide-band gap materials, two-dimensional materials and superconducting materials for single-photon detectors. …”

Barnacle cement protein as an efficient bioinspired corrosion inhibitor by Bui, My Hanh, Hiew, Shu Hui, Salim, Teddy, Saw, Wan Geok, Webster, Richard David, Grüber, Gerhard, Mu, Yuguang, Miserez, Ali

“…We reveal that these anti-corrosion properties are linked to the protein’s biophysical properties, namely its strong adsorption to surfaces combined with its interaction with Fe ions released by steel substrates, which forms a stable layer that increases the coating’s impedance and delays corrosion. …”

Electrochemical modification of electrodes with metal nanoparticles by Mavrokefalos, C

“…For the first time, this study contradicts the classical theories for electrochemical nucleation and growth which proceed only by the fresh reduction of ions. It demonstrates that electrochemical nucleation and growth at the early stages is overpotential dependent and in fact proceed also by the aggregation of small clusters through surface diffusion when deposited at relatively higher overpotentials. …”

Spin-ice physics and phase transitions in cadmium cyanide by Coates, CS

“…This thesis explores the structural ice analogue cadmium cyanide, Cd(CN)2, a cubic negative thermal expansion (NTE) material, in which the orientation of cyanide ions maps onto the spin orientation in spin-ices. …”

Electronic structure of paramagnetic transition metal complexes by Al-Ameed, K

“…The distribution of metal ions across sites of different coordination geometry is a fundamental problem in inorganic chemistry (the text-book example is the spinel family) and we show here that the ligand-field stabilisation energy available to Ni^II dominates the site distribution. …”

Studies on the physicochemical, biomechanical and biological properties of novel decellularized bovine scaffold for bone regeneration by Qabbani, Ali Abdul Qader Hameed Al

“…RAMAN spectroscopy showed an increased abundance of collagen and bone minerals, particularly phosphate ions (PO43-), in DCC scaffolds. In conclusion, the decellularization technique effectively produced an acellular DCC scaffold with minimal ECM damage and superior osteogenic potential in both in vitro and in vivo models. …”
