Synaptic devices towards neuromorphic electronics by Datta, Indira

“…Area Transfer curves, gate voltage hysteresis loops, and multilevel resistance modulation were studied, and biological functions including long-term potentiation and Depression (LTP and LTD), Excitatory and Inhibitory Postsynaptic Current (EPSC and IPSC), Spike Amplitude and Duration Dependent Plasticity (SADP and SDDP), Paired Pulse Facilitation and Depression (PPF and PPD), and repeated learning and forgetting curves were emulated by our novel device. …”

Modeling of functional materials : perovskite solar cells by Aruj Shukla

“…However, for a more holistic analysis of perovskite light harvesters as replacement to the existing TiO2 nano particles, a more nuanced modeling and analysis which incorporates a study of transport properties such as trapping effects (for further spike in efficiency), photo catalytic reaction kinetics and surface & bulk defects (for easier fabrication) is demanded as an integral part of future research plans.…”

The impacts of US Fed interest rate liftoff on Southwest Asia stock markets, sovereign bond and currencies by Ooi, Teik Khim

“…Based on the more reliable model I (using FFF), it implies the negative effect of spike in VIX dominated the positive effect from lower market expectation on interest rate lift-off, which led to decline in ASEAN financial market during 2015 A SEAN slump.…”

High wavenumber coherent structures in low re apg-boundary-layer transition flow—a numerical study by Lo, Edmond Yat-Man, Chen, Weijia

“…Both parts are imbedded at the primary Λ-vortex stage and spatially coincide with the spike region and high shear layer. The tip part is associated with the later first ring-like vortex, while the rear part with the remainder of the Λ-vortex. …”

The political psychology of personality and attitudes towards immigrants by Buettner, N

“…Second, I build on Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T), an influential causal, integrative theory which has recently been developed in the field of personality psychology, to derive and subsequently empirically test multiple hypotheses linking personality’s major dimensions of covariation on three levels of CB5T’s personality trait hierarchy to natives’ immigration attitudes based on survey data from the United Kingdom and the United States. …”

Tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy versus non‐surgical treatment for chronic/recurrent acute tonsillitis by Burton, MJ, Glasziou, PP, Chong, LY, Venekamp, RP

“…In the first year after surgery children undergoing surgery had an average of 18 days of sore throat (of which some ‐ between five and seven on average ‐ will be in the immediate postoperative period), compared with 23 days in the control group (difference 5.1 days, 95% CI 2.2 to 8.1; moderate quality evidence). …”

Will Kyiv’s Soviet Industrial Districts Survive? A Study of Transformation, Preservation, and Demolition of Industrial Heritage in Ukraine’s Capital by Ponomaryova, Anastasiya, Ryan, Brent D.

“…In the 1930s and 1940s, multiple five-year Soviet plans for national industrialization transformed Ukraine’s capital Kyiv (Russian Kiev) into a dramatic industrial metropolis. …”

SSTR expression in invasive lobular carcinomas of the breast. by Lim, Yin Teng.

“…Results: There were no significant differences between the levels of expression of SSTR1-5. However, all five subtypes were expressed in all patient cases, with SSTR2 having the highest level of expression amongst the five subtypes. …”

Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticles can deliver bioavailable Pb but does not alter endogenous gut microbiota in zebrafish by Patsiou, Danae, del Rio-Cubilledo, Cristina, Catarino, Ana Isabel, Summers, Stephen, Afiq Mohd Fahmi, Boyle, David, Fernandes, Teresa F., Henry, Theodore B.

“…Induction of mt2 and reduction of ala-d expression levels in liver tissues showed Pb bioavailability after 2-d and 4-d dietary exposure to perovskite-spiked feeds. Changes in gut microbiota of adult zebrafish were detected after 14-d exposure to Pb-spiked food, but no changes were detected from perovskite-NP spiked food. …”

Tribological properties of wax microcapsule modified polymers by Ang, Ping Lon

“…A total of 6 epoxy composites with different wax microcapsules concentration were tested- 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3.5 and 7%wt. Surface roughness and micro indentations were first done to determine the initial surface conditions, before putting the epoxy samples through tribological test to determine friction coefficient and wear. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Experimental and numerical study of self-locking adaptable inter connection for modular steel structures by Nadeem, Gohar, Safiee, Nor Azizi, Bakar, Nabilah Abu, Karim, Izian Abd, Mohd Nasir, Noor Azline

“…The findings indicated that the gap produced between connection and column under higher displacement was sensitive to the outer bolt and spring pin. This gap could be further reduced by increasing the number of outer bolts and by reducing tolerance between adapter and column walls.…”
