Aerogel and ionogel strain sensors by Tan, Melissa Siew Ting

“…In the first part, a low density and electrically conductive aerogel polymer composite was fabricated using resorcinol formaldehyde and cross-linked carbon nanotubes. While the aerogel displayed high piezoresistive sensitivity, its low compressibility rendered it unsuitable for electronic-skin applications. …”

Structural and molecular characterization of ligands activating the orphan nuclear receptor Nurr1 (NR4A2) by Ng, Xin Yi

“…By employing Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), C3 was identified to bind to the co-regulator binding pocket and is a strong candidate to be chemically-linked to L1, in hopes of increasing its potency as well as its binding affinity and specificity to Nurr1. …”

Scaling of the velocity profile in strongly drag reduced turbulent flows over an oscillating wall by Skote, Martin

“…As a result, logarithmic part is influenced by both velocity scales and the slope of the velocity profile is directly linked to the DR. The theoretically obtained results are verified by data from six previously performed direct numerical simulations (DNSs) of boundary layers over spatial and temporal wall oscillations, with a wide range of resulting DR. …”

Inherently vulnerable? Ethnic geography and the intensity of violence in the Bosnian civil war by Di Salvatore, J

“…Existing research on ethnic conflict focuses on regional configurations of ethnicity, thus neglecting how local vulnerable pockets of minorities may become primary targets for violence. The mechanism linking minority enclaves to more violence posits that the regional majority group will fight local minorities in order to (i) create ethnically homogeneous areas and (ii) remove potential support for the other group by the local minority. …”

Safety outcomes following COVID-19 vaccination and infection in 5.1 million children in England by Copland, E, Patone, M, Saatci, D, Handunnetthi, L, Hirst, J, Hunt, DPJ, Mills, NL, Moss, P, Sheikh, A, Coupland, CAC, Harnden, A, Robertson, C, Hippisley-Cox, J

Strain-tuning of nematicity and superconductivity in single crystals of FeSe by Ghini, M, Bristow, M, Prentice, JCA, Sutherland, S, Sanna, S, Haghighirad, AA, Coldea, AI

“…Close to the critical temperature, all resistivity curves at constant strain cross in a single point, indicating a universal critical exponent linked to a strain-induced phase transition. Our results indicate that the superconducting state is enhanced under compressive strain and suppressed under tensile strain, in agreement with the trends observed in FeSe thin films and overdoped pnictides, whereas the nematic phase seems to be affected in the opposite way by the uniaxial strain. …”
