Tshangla verb inflections: a preliminary sketch by Andvik, Erik

“…However, the language described by Zhang and Sun is spoken in a cluster of communities geographically separated from Bhutan by several hundred miles, namely the region formerly known as Padma-bkod, located near the point where the Tsangpo River (Siang), crosses the McMahon Line. A comparison of Bhutanese Tshangla vocabulary with the word list given in Sun et al. (1980) indicates that there are very few differences in the speech of the two communities. …”

Contribution of the Hydration Force to Vesicle Adhesion on Titanium Oxide by Jackman, Joshua A., Zan, Goh Haw, Zhao, Zhilei, Cho, Nam-Joon

“…Herein, we investigated the influence of vesicle surface charge on vesicle adsorption onto titanium oxide and observed that electrostatic attraction is insufficient for vesicle rupture. Following this line of evidence, a continuum model based on the DLVO forces and a non-DLVO hydration force was applied to investigate the role of different interfacial forces in modulating the lipid–substrate interaction. …”
