Materials approaches for next-generation encapsulated cell therapies by Krishnan, Siddharth R., Langer, Robert, Anderson, Daniel G.

“…However, attack from the host immune system represents a major challenge, requiring chronic immunosuppression to enable long-lived cell transplantation in vivo. Encapsulating cells in engineered biomaterials capable of excluding components of the host immune system while allowing for the transport of therapeutic proteins, oxygen, nutrients, metabolites, and waste products represents a potential solution. …”

Figuring the Middle Ground: A Search for Authorship in Perceiving China's COVID-19 Lockdowns by Zhang, San

“…This project is an effort to give myself a voice in the process of figuring out the “middle ground”—a gradient of unsettled propositions stretching between cultural identities, negotiating with constructed collective memories, and discursively evolving over a three-year-long uncanny journey trying to perceive the COVID-19 lockdowns in China. …”

Nitric oxide : a key mediator of biofilm dispersal with applications in infectious diseases by Barraud, Nicolas, Kelso, Michael J., Rice, Scott A., Kjelleberg, Staffan

“…Further, several NO-based technologies have been developed that offer a versatile range of solutions to control biofilms, including: (i) NO-generating compounds with short or long half-lives and safe or inert residues, (ii) novel compounds for the targeted delivery of NO to infectious biofilms during systemic treatments, and (iii) novel NO-releasing materials and surface coatings for the prevention and dispersal of biofilms. …”

Negotiating access to populations of concern in South-East Asia by Cook, Alistair David Blair

“…Given this context, there is a need to better understand the motivations of the multiple actors involved in negotiating humanitarian responses, and to account for the impact the finished agreement has on the region both in the short and long terms. This article investigates the motivations behind two humanitarian responses in South-East Asia. …”

First-principles study of the lattice dynamics of Sb2S3 by Liu, Yun, Eddie Chua, Kun Ting, Sum, Tze Chien, Gan, Chee Kwan

“…The phonon softening can be attributed to the periodic images that affect the accuracy of the force constants, and the truncation of long-ranged forces. The commensuration of the q-vectors with the supercell size is crucial to preserve degeneracies in Sb2S3 crystals.…”

Localised and bifurcating structures in planar shear flows by Wang, Zhe

“…The proposed model corresponds to the Z_2-symmetric pitchfork/Hopf problem, whose linear instability is the centrifugal instability. As long as the rotational symmetry is preserved, the system can have at most a pair of reflectional symmetric invariant two-tori, signifying the quasiperiodicity. …”

Construction of a stable lithium sulfide membrane to greatly confine polysulfides for high performance lithium – sulfur batteries by Wu, Chao, Guo, Chunxian, Wu, JingGao, Ai, Wei, Yu, Ting, Li, Chang Ming

“…The membrane offers unique and selective channels which allow only ions/small sulfides to pass through and confine polysulfide transport, restricting the shuttle effect, and thus providing a large capacity of 685 mA h g−1 at 1C and a long-lasting cycling stability (0.03% capacity decay per cycle). …”

A first study of compressive sensing for side-channel leakage sampling by Ou, Changhai, Zhou, Chengju, Lam, Siew-Kei

“…This paper undertakes the first study to show that effective leakage sampling can be achieved without relying on sophisticated equipments through Compressive Sensing (CS). As long as the information is leaked in the low frequency component, CS can obtain low-dimensional samples by simply projecting the high-dimensional signals onto the observation matrix. …”

Carbon–metal compound composite electrodes for capacitive deionization : synthesis, development and applications by Tang, Kexin, Hong, Terence Zhi Xiang, You, Liming, Zhou, Kun

“…This requires electrodes to have a large desalination capacity, high charge efficiency and long-term stability. However, the development of pristine carbon materials has hit a bottleneck due to their structural properties (e.g., limited surface area) and adsorption mechanism (i.e., electrosorption). …”
