Exploring the trait plasticity of ipa1-2d and qpl6 under different nitrogen treatments and heading periods by Zhuang, Wenshu, Jin, Guangyang, Zou, Yiting, Bian, Zhong, Xie, Dong, Zhang, Shuwei, Yeilaghi, Hadi, Yu, Liangliang, Wong, Muiyun, Fan, Xiaolei, Zhao, Dongsheng, Liu, Qiaoquan, Zhang, Lin

“…QTL analysis could elaborate on the environmental impact on trait plasticity using nearly isogenic lines (NILs) of different QTLs. Two QTLs, ipa1-2D and qPL6 are identified to have pleio-tropic contributions to panicle size and plant architecture, but their responses to different growth conditions are still unclear. …”

Towards a Single Bio-molecule Detector Based on CMOS Nanofluidic Platform by Zikrallah, Ahmed S.

“…Ideally, we would be able to continuously monitor the secretome of these cell therapies as they are transformed and expanded in manufacturing.However, state-of-theart techniques for monitoring typically low concentrations of cytokines require either Mass Spectroscopy (MS) or immunoassays like Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). We propose the use of CMOS technology to build a proteomic platform with a single biomolecule resolution. …”

Leveraging the Properties of Aprotic Solvents Towards Efficient Electrocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction by Chu, An T.

“…We leverage the unique solvation environments and equilibrium acidities accessible in such media to overcome key limitations to reaction performance that are intrinsically linked to the use of aqueous electrolytes. We demonstrate key principles for tuning aprotic solvent-based electrolytes towards improving carbon dioxide electroreduction catalysis, establishing the foundation for the development of advanced electrolyte designs. …”

Numerical modeling of motion and deformation of cells in microscale hydrodynamic and electric fields by Ye, Ting

“…As the first academic achievement made in this thesis, the two novel numerical methods are developed to efficiently treat the two-fluid model, namely the modified particle binary level set (MPBLS) method for tracking the cell membrane, and the modified semi-implicit method for pressure linked equations-revised (modified SIMPLER). • The MPBLS method employs the binary level set function to distinguish different materials, and further scatters a number of Lagrangian particles on the interface to correct the interface and provide the interface information. …”
