Producing microscale Ge textures via titanium nitride- and nickel-assisted chemical etching with CMOS-compatibiliyty by Liao, Yikai, Shin, Sang-Ho, Jin, Yuhao, Wang, Qi Jie, Kim, Munho

“…Schottky contact barrier of metal catalyst with Ge is also investigated indicating similar hole injection efficiency among TiN, Ni, and Ti/Ni with Ge junction due to strong Fermi level pinning effect. The TiN- and Ni-assisted chemical etching of Ge shed light on CMOS-compatible Ge-based photonic and optoelectronic applications.…”

Stability of internal gravity wave modes: from triad resonance to broadband instability by Akylas, T.R., Kakoutas, Christos

“…The appropriate instability mechanism hinges on how the perturbation spatial scale relative to the basic-state wavelength, controlled by a parameter 𝜇, compares to the basic-state amplitude parameter, 𝜖 ≪ 1. …”

On the total synthesis of complex alkaloids by Shennan, BDA

“…Multiple competing strategies are investigated before successfully developing an efficient route to the racemic pentacycle of daphlongeranine B. This strategy hinges upon a Michael addition followed by a Claisen rearrangement and ring-closing metathesis to establish three rings.…”

Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The test results indicated that both unbonded and bonded parabolic-shaped PT significantly enhanced compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action (CA) beyond basic flexural capacity, and also changed the plastic hinge mechanism in the precast beams. The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”

Cognitive diagnostic assessment in educational testing: a score strategy-based evaluation by Muhamad Firdaus Mohd Noh, Mohd Effendi @ Ewan Mohd Matore, Nur Ainil Sulaiman, Mohd Tarmizi Azeman, Hamzah Ishak, Nursohana Othman, Nurbaya Mohd Rosli, Siti Hannah Sabtu

“…The findings indicate that CDA offers strengths like granular feedback, enhanced validity, and data-driven decisions, but faces challenges in complex implementation and resource demands. Its effectiveness hinges on efficient implementation and appropriacy, while exploring opportunities, managing risks, and considering stakeholders' responses help optimize its transformational and commercial value. …”

Preventing interreligious conflict : lessons from the ambivalence of the sacred and Singapore by Ho, Chee Feng

“…The successful prevention of interreligious conflicts hinges on the application of all the strategies, with the statist strategies being the most pressing strategies to be implemented first, given the importance of the state in setting the political conception and agenda in such issues. …”
