Operando electrodeposition of nonprecious metal copper nanocatalysts on low-dimensional support materials for nitrate reduction reactions by Tan, Shu Fen, Roslie, Hany, Salim, Teddy, Han, Zengyu, Wu, Dongshuang, Liang, Caihong, Teo, Lim Fong, Lam, Yeng Ming

“…By combining real-time imaging, electrochemical measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and finite-element analysis (FEA), we show that low-dimensional support materials, especially carbon nanotubes, are excellent for generating uniform and finely dispersed platinum group metal-(PGM)-free catalysts under mild electrochemical conditions. …”

Laser assisted micro patterning atop shape memory polymer by Goh, Chee Siew.

“…The aim of this project is built on this property of the SMP, in which micro-sized arrays in the form of protrusion bumps and lines will be created onto the SMP surface. SMP has existed for a long time and in the past few years, its usefulness has been illustrated in many industries include the biomedical industry. …”

Interleukin-26 (IL-26) is a novel anti-microbial peptide produced by T cells in response to staphylococcal enterotoxin by Woetmann, Anders, Alhede, Morten, Dabelsteen, Sally, Bjarnsholt, Thomas, Rybtke, Morten, Nastasi, Claudia, Krejsgaard, Thorbjørn, Andersen, Mads Hald, Bonefeld, Charlotte M., Geisler, Carsten, Givskov, Michael, Odum, Niels

“…Here we show that (i) skin T cells in chronic wounds infected with S. aureus express interleukin-26 (IL-26) in situ, (ii) staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) trigger IL-26 expression in T cell lines and primary skin T cells, and (iii) IL-26 triggers death and inhibits biofilm formation and growth of S. aureus. …”

Entangled exclusions: borders, frontiers and urban geopolitics from northeast India by Das, P, Mittal, G, Sarma, J

“…These have, in turn, led to further displacement, enclavization, and ghettoization of minority communities who are deemed ‘non-native’ along ethnocentric lines. Taking two cases from Shillong and Guwahati, we introduce the concept of entangled exclusions to analyse the layered, intertwined, multi-scalar nature of divides within these frontier cities. …”

Mesoporous Co3O4 and CoO@C topotactically transformed from chrysanthemum-like Co(CO3)0.5(OH)·0.11H2O and their lithium-storage properties by Xiong, Shenglin, Chen, Jun Song, Lou, David Xiong Wen, Zeng, Hua Chun

“…The growth and thus the final assembly of the Co(CO3)0.5(OH)·0.11H2O can be finely tuned by selecting preparative parameters, such as the molar ratio of the starting chemicals, the additives, the reaction time and the temperature. …”

Automatic metric 3D surface mesh generation using subdivision surface geometrical model. Part 1 : construction of underlying geometrical model by Lee, Chi King

“…By using the subdivision surface concept, the new mesh generator can generate finite element meshes to model a wide range of surfaces which may contain sharp features such as cusp points and crease lines. When comparing with other traditional algorithms which use analytical surface patches as the underlying geometrical model, the new mesh generation scheme can be used in applications such as large deformation or crack analyses in which the domains to be gridded are not well defined or involve changing boundaries. …”
