Manufacturing AA6061 micro-molds by hot embossing for production of polymeric microfluidic devices by Tran, Nhat Khoa

“…Thus, the focus of this research is to investigate if an aluminum alloy micro-mold could be fabricated by hot-embossing using silicon (Si) master with acceptable cost, quality, and life span. By employing the appropriate processing parameters, experiments conducted indicate conclusively that the deformation mechanism of aluminum alloy 6061 (AA6061) in micro hot embossing is the plastic deformation of the grains themselves. …”

Small-island interactions: pottery from Roman Malta by Anastasi, M

“…In the first instance, a detailed study of three complete and new ceramic assemblages, including amphorae, fine, cooking and coarse wares, was undertaken. The opportunity to quantify identifiable imports and compare them with local products—the first of its kind for fine, cooking and coarse wares—provided valuable proxy data for comparing Malta with neighbouring islands and centres, and demonstrated what proportion of ceramic vessels were locally supplied, and how these changed over time. …”

Synthesis and application of peptidoglycan oligomers as metabolic labeling agents for bacteria by He, Jingxi

“…Furthermore, the PGO-rhodamine was not taken up or incorporated into mammalian cells at all, thus confirming that PGOs can be a powerful tool for pan-bacteria-specific labeling and imaging. In the following part, mechanistic studies further supported the hypothesis of enzyme mediated metabolic labeling rather than non-specific binding to bacterial surface. …”

Contexts and reasons for emoji usage of Chinese Singaporean university students by Lai, Priscilla Zi Ga

“…This paper aims to control the platform studied and participant backgrounds to investigate the contexts and reasons for emoji usage of Chinese Singaporean university students on Whatsapp. 10 pairs of Chinese Singaporean university students underwent a text-based interview about the reasons and social contexts behind their emoji usage, and submitted screenshots of a section of their Whatsapp conversation for analysis of the textual context. Nine reasons for emoji usage, and six main reasons and seven sub-reasons for emoji avoidance are found. …”
