A LDO regulator with weighted current feedback technique for 0.47nF-10nF capacitive load by Tan, Xiao Liang, Chong, Sau Siong, Chan, Pak Kwong, Dasgupta, Uday

“…Validated by UMC 65 nm CMOS process, the simulation and measurement results have shown that the WCF LDO regulator can operate at a load capacitance (CL) range from 470 pF to 10 nF with only 3.8 pF compensation capacitor. At a supply of 0.75 V and a quiescent current of 15.9 μA, the proposed circuit can support a maximum load current (IL) of 50 mA. …”

Kindlin-3 mediates integrin αLβ2 outside-in signaling, and it interacts with scaffold protein receptor for activated-c kinase 1 (RACK1) by Cornvik, Tobias Carl, Ruedl, Christiane, Feng, Chen, Li, Yan Feng, Yau, Yin Hoe, Lee, Hui-Shan, Tang, Xiao-Yan, Xue, Zhi-Hong, Zhou, Yi-Chao, Lim, Wei-Min, Shochat, Susana Geifman, Tan, Suet Mien

“…This interaction involves the pleckstrin homology domain of kindlin-3 and blades 5–7 of RACK1. Using the SKW3 human T lymphoma cells, we show that integrin αLβ2 engagement by its ligand ICAM-1 promotes the association of kindlin-3 with RACK1. …”

Aqueous cadmium removal by calcium fluoride sludge by Kwan, Kevin Ka Wing.

“…Cadmium immobilization efficiency by calcium fluoride sludge increases as ionic strength decreases but remain relatively consistent with solution pH range of 3~8 other than below pH3 which can be explained by zeta potential analysis which shows that the solution is in the negative region only after approximately pH2.5. The total cadmium removal rate is contributed by the precipitation of hydroxyapatite and also the formation of cadmium hydroxyl at high pH. …”
