Spontaneous charge transfer doping of transition metal dichalcogenides via ruthenium(III) chloride by Yeo, Think-E

“…We then use electrical gating to determine the doping density in the TMDs due to the spontaneous charge transfer. Our findings revealed that hole doping in TMDs led to the formation of trions under photoexcitation, as evident from the trion response detected in the reflection contrast spectroscopy performed on molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2). …”

Anger, physical activity and depression in patients with coronary heart disease : a dominance and moderation analysis by Ng, Emil Jin Huai

“…However at higher levels of physical activity, the magnitude of the simple effect of anger expression out on depression is greatly reduced. The findings seem to partially support the psychodynamic theory of inward directed anger leading to depression, and also suggest that increasing physical activity may be helpful in reducing the likelihood of depressive outcomes in cardiac patients by moderating the relationship between the propensity to express anger and depression.…”

Vascular tissue engineering: investigation of endothelial cell function by Heng, Jolyn Xiuhui

“…In this study, defined polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers of different fiber diameters were treated with NaOH and adsorbed with gelatin to investigate cell attachment efficiency and growth rate. The findings revealed that gelatin adsorbed surfaces does not favour EC proliferation well and led to performing the next modification which is 1 M NaOH treatment for 4 h, 16 h, and 24 h for the PCL surfaces. 1 M NaOH treatment was first performed to improve the hydrophilicity of PCL. …”
