Empowerment through suicide in “The little mermaid” and “Giselle ou les wilis” by Wong, Angelene Suet Fong

“…The protagonists, namely, the little mermaid in Andersen’s text and Giselle in Gautier’s text, are presented in line with the “conventional romance formula of female sacrifice,” leaving much room to expand on their suicides as more than self-sacrifice, but as empowerment (de Armas Wilson 111). …”

Binding of TCR multimers and a TCR-like antibody with distinct fine-specificities is dependent on the surface density of HLA complexes by Low, Jianrong L., Gehring, Adam J., Kranz, David M., Grotenbreg, Gijsbert M., Yau, Yin Hoe, Shochat, Susana Geifman, Bertoletti, Antonio, Naidoo, Anneta, Yeo, Gladys, Ho, Zi Zong

“…Various protein scaffolds have been designed to recapitulate the specific recognition of presented antigens with the aim to be exploited both diagnostically (e.g. to visualize cells exposed to infectious agents or cellular transformation) and therapeutically (e.g. for the delivery of drugs to compromised cells). In line with this, we report the construction of a soluble tetrameric form of an αβ T cell receptor (TCR) specific for the HBV epitope Env183–191 restricted by HLA-A*02:01, and compare its avidity and fine-specificity with a TCR-like monoclonal antibody generated against the same HLA target. …”

High-spin impurities and surface acoustic waves in piezoelectric crystals for spin-lattice coupling by Magnusson, E

“…We found that the nominally pure ZnO was conductive at room temperature due to <em>n</em>-type intrinsic doping, and electrical losses inhibited any transmission through a SAW delay line above <em>T</em> = 200K. The one-port resonator measured down to milli-Kelvin temperatures showed excellent quality factors of up to <em>Q</em> &amp;sime; 1.5 × 10⁵ in its superconducting state.…”

Effects of Sub1 and qDTY on the agro-morpho-physiological traits of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under reproductive stage drought stress by Shakirah Mohammad Nahar, Nur Sakinah Mohd Yusri, Asmuni Mohd Ikmal, Noraziyah Abd Aziz Shamsudin, Siti Nurfaeiza Abd Razak, Pui, Maggie San Sudo, Song, Beng-Kah, Bey, Hing Goh, Long, Chiau Ming

“…Breeding and screening of drought tolerant varieties are crucial to ensure the continuity of food supply. Two breeding lines, UKM-112 and UKM-114 with QTL(s) for submergence tolerance (Submergence 1 [Sub1]) and yield under drought stress (qDTY) and together with their recurrent parental line, UKM-5, and a drought-sensitive cultivar, MR219 were screened for their agro-morpho-physiological responses under reproductive stage drought stress (RS) and non-stress (NS) to determine how the Sub1 interacts with qDTY in enhancing drought tolerance. …”

A benchtop induction-based AC magnetometer for a fast characterization of magnetic nanoparticles by Mohd Mawardi, Saari, Mohd Herwan, Sulaiman, Hamzah, Ahmad, Nurul Akmal, Che Lah, Sakai, Kenji, Kiwa, Toshihiko, Tsukada, Keiji

“…The excitation frequency is swept from 5 Hz to 158 kHz at a field amplitude of 0.55 mTpp within the acquisition time of 5 min (51 points). As a result, the viscosity change is confirmed by the peak shifting in the imaginary magnetization curve towards lower frequency values when the wt/V% of the glycerol solution is increased. …”

Selective fluoride removal from groundwater using CNT-CeO2 electrodes in capacitive deionization (CDI) by Liu, Xun, Rehman, Danyal, Shu, Yufei, Liu, Bei, Wang, Li, Li, Li, Wang, Mengxia, Wang, Kunkun, Han, Qi, Zang, Linlin, Lienhard, John H., Wang, Zhongying

“…Our findings are compelling: when processing a mixed F−/Cl− solution comprising 10 mg/L F− and 100 mg/L Cl−, the CNT-CeO2 electrode is seen to reduce the concentration of F− ions to 1.5 mg/L in just 150 min, amounting to an 85 % F− removal efficiency, while the Cl− removal efficiency remains below 2 %. …”
