Super lubrication bottlebrush polymer particles synthesis using core cross-linking by Garnadi, Jovanca Kartika

“…We synthesized poly(dimethicone) (PDM-I) (bottlebrush polymer part) as the macroinitiator with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linking segment. Cross-linked bottlebrush polymer particles are not easily entangled and interpenetrated among each other due to the steric repulsion. …”

Development of a mooring line model for coupled floating structure dynamic analysis by Bai, Ziyi

“…The model should possess the features of adding point buoys, clump weights, different anchor fairlead concepts and multiple line segments to a single mooring line. The model is proposed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory, U.S. as multi-segmented quasi-static modelling. …”

Fine-scale population structure and widespread conservation of genetic effect sizes between human groups across traits by Hu, S, Ferreira, LAF, Shi, S, Hellenthal, G, Marchini, J, Lawson, DJ, Myers, SR

“…To estimate the similarity of genetic effect sizes between groups, we developed ANCHOR, which estimates changes in the predictive power of an existing PGS in distinct local ancestry segments. ANCHOR infers highly similar (estimated correlation 0.98 ± 0.07) effect sizes between UK Biobank participants of African and European ancestry for 47 of 53 quantitative phenotypes, suggesting that gene–environment and gene–gene interactions do not play major roles in poor cross-ancestry PGS transferability for these traits in the United Kingdom, and providing optimism that shared causal mutations operate similarly in different populations.…”

Instabilities in tidal turbine wakes by Smyth, ASM, Nishino, T, Young, AM

“…Unsteady inflow causes the turbine blades to shed vorticity of time-varying strength into the wake, which in turn leads to a spatial variation in wake vortex strength, such that the vorticity of adjacent returning wake segments can differ. This spatial variation triggers the instability of tip vortices, the characteristics of which are shown to be governed by the ’frequency ratio’ ω/ΩNB (where ω is harmonic inflow frequency, Ω is turbine rotational frequency and NB is the number of blades). …”

A study on the motivating factors and marketing strategies that affect donations to Singapore-based charities. by Lee, Jenevie Yu Ling., Ong, Yi Ning., Su, Han-Inn.
