A D-band SPST switch using parallel-stripline swap with defected ground structure by Luo, Jiang, He, Jin, Apriyana, Alit, Feng, Guangyin, Huang, Qijun

“…Compared to the conventional transmission line (TL) with high insertion loss at high frequency, the equivalent capacitance introduced by the coupler gap leads to series resonance condition which results in lower insertion loss at the higher frequency. …”

Enhanced coupled-resonator-induced transparency and optical fano resonance via intracavity backscattering by Ang, Thomas Y. L., Ngo, Nam Quoc

“…In addition, it is found that the symmetric CRIT peaks can be reshaped into asymmetric OFR line shapes either by using TWMRs with different intracavity backscattering strengths when one input is launched into the circuit or by modulating the phase/amplitude difference between the dual contrapropagating inputs, which are launched into the circuit in the presence of intracavity backscattering. …”

Characterising the functional role of GATA1short isoform in normal and malignant haematopoiesis by Cruz Hernandez, D

“…I showed biding of GATA1s at the -77kb enhancer of GATA2 in an ML-DS derived cell line. We hypothesize that sustained GATA2 expression in TAM and in ML-DS might be driven by GATA1s biding at the -77kb GATA2 enhancer. …”

Heterotic string compactification and quiver gauge theory on toric geometry by Sun, C

“…These 16 manifolds are the only ones among the more than half a billion manifolds in the Kreuzer-Skarke (KS) list with a non-trivial fundamental group. We classify the line bundle models on these manifolds, both for SU(5) and SO(10) Grand Unified Theories (GUT), which lead to consistent supersymmetric string vacua and they have three chiral families. …”

Global marine flyways identified for long-distance migrating seabirds from tracking data by Davies, T, Guilford, T

“…We visualised the routes of each cluster using a line density analysis and used knowledge of seabird spatial ecology to combine the clusters to identify the broad-scale flyways followed by most pelagic migratory seabirds tracked to-date at an ocean-basin scale.…”

Mitigation of lightning-induced transient effects on a hybrid photovoltaic–wind system based on lightning protection standards by Abda, Zmnako Mohammed Khurshid, Ab Kadir, Mohd Zainal Abidin, Hizam, Hashim, Gomes, Chandima

“…It comprises a 2 MW PV farm, a 2 MW wind farm, and a backup energy storage system (ESS), which are all connected to a 132 kV grid via a step-up transformer and a transmission line. The results were obtained at critical system nodes for two standard lightning current surges, i.e., 1/10 µs and 10/350 µs, considering two lightning strike point scenarios with and without a lightning protection system (LPS). …”
