Terahertz radiation by Wong, Yun Ming

“…Last but not least, the robustness of PTI waveguide against bending loss was verified by both simulation and experiment. Owing to the great number of parameters involved in manufacturing the transmission line, more work could be done in the future to achieve an even better optimisation for transmission of signal.…”

Effects of initial oxide layer on growth of titania nanotubes by Lim, Jonathan Jian Wei.

“…Finally, the tube length decreased drastically with the foils annealed at 800°C owing to the thick rutile oxide layer. Prolonged annealing duration at 400°C led to further crystallization of the annealed oxide layer from amorphous to anatase phase. …”

Thiophene-derived polymer dots for imaging endocytic compartments in live cells and broad-spectrum bacterial killing by Prasad, Kenath Priyanka, Than, Aung, Li, Nan, Alam SK, Mahasin, Duan, Hongwei, Pu, Kanyi, Zheng, Xinting, Chen, Peng

“…In this work, we present a new type of polymer dot synthesized from bithiophene (pTh-Pdot) via a simple and high yield procedure. Owing to their high brightness, excellent photo-stability, good biocompatibility, and molecular size, pTh-Pdots are promising for bioimaging applications. …”

Tin halide perovskite solar cells with open-circuit voltages approaching the Shockley–Queisser limit by Liu, W, Hu, S, Pascual, J, Nakano, K, Murdey, R, Tajima, K, Wakamiya, A

“…The fullerene derivative indene-C₆₀ bisadduct (ICBA) is a promising alternative to mitigate this drawback, owing to its superior energy level matching with most tin-based perovskites. …”

Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete Containing Unground Palm Oil Fuel Ash as Partial Sand Replacement by H. Mohd Hanafi, H. Mohd Hanafi, Muthusamy, Khairunisa, Saffuan, W.A., Budiea, A.M.A., Kusbiantoro, A., Nabilla, M., Rafiza, A.R., Błoch, K.

“…The results show the enhancement of concrete strength relative to the control mixture by using 10% of ash. This is owing to void filling mechanism and product of pozzolanic reaction due to the fine particles of the ash.…”

Macroscopic models of superconductivity by Chapman, SJ

“…However, at the next order we find the emergence of terms analogous to those of 'surface tension' and 'kinetic undercooling' in the scalar Stefan model. …”

“Or they could just not use it?”: the dilemma of AI disclosure for audience trust in news by Toff, B, Simon, FM

“…We also find that negative effects associated with perceived trustworthiness are largely counteracted when articles disclose the list of sources used to generate the content. …”

EXPRESS: beyond the pair: media archetypes and complex channel synergies in advertising by Bell, JJ, Thomaz, F, Stephen, AT

“…We find that traditional channels (TV, outdoor) are commonly paired with digital channels (Facebook, YouTube) in high-performing campaigns. …”

Legislating instability: Adam Smith, free banking, and the financial crisis of 1722 by Goodspeed, T

“…In support of previous research on Scottish “free banking,” I find that this absence of legal restrictions on Scottish banking contributed to a proliferation of what Adam Smith derisively referred to as “beggarly bankers” which rendered the Scottish financial system both intensely competitive and remarkably resilient to a series of severe adverse shocks to the small developing economy. …”

Assessing membrane performance for landfill leachate treatment in accordance with local regulatory requirements by Tan, Yean Keat, Lau, Woei Jye, Mohd. Nawi, Nadiene Salleha, Roslan, Rosyiela Azwa, Ng, Pang Soon

“…Furthermore, the NF/RO membranes were able to achieve a lower concentration of metallic elements as well as other parameters such as fluoride and sulfide in their permeates compared to the loose MF/UF membranes. Owing to the smallest pore size of the RO membrane, the quality of the permeate produced was the best among the membranes tested. …”
