Rhetorical contestation and the mediterranean migration crisis, 2013-2018 by He, Wendy Qingli

“…I seek to shed new light on this policy outcome by exploring the dynamics of rhetorical contestation taking place in the context of the Mediterranean migration crisis over the course of five years (2013 to 2018). Specifically, I analyse the criticisms which were directed at the EU by a non-governmental organisation, Amnesty International (AI) and its use of ‘naming and shaming’ against the EU and Italy, a key frontline member state embroiled in the crisis. …”

Design and modeling of novel low-pressure nanofiltration hollow fiber modules for water softening and desalination pretreatment by Labban, Omar, Chong, Tzyy Haur, Lienhard V., John H.

“…Given its high surface area to volume ratio and desirable mass transfer characteristics, the hollow fiber module configuration has been central to the development of RO and UF technologies over the past five decades. Recent studies have demonstrated the development of a novel class of low-pressure nanofiltration (NF) hollow fiber membranes with great promise for scale-up implementation. …”

Peptide asparaginyl ligases—renegade peptide bond makers by Tam, James P., Chan, Ning-Yu, Liew, Heng Tai, Tan, Shaun J., Chen, Yu

“…Butelase-1 specifically recognizes a C-terminal Asx-containing tripeptide motif, Asn/Asp-Xaa-Yaa (Xaa and Yaa are any amino acids), to form a site-specific Asn-Xaa peptide bond either intramolecularly as cyclic proteins or intermolecularly as modified proteins. Our work in the past five years has validated that butelase-1 is a potent and versatile ligase. …”
