Effect of heat treatment on repetitively scanned SLM NiTi shape memory alloy by An, Jia, Liu, Yong, Khoo, Zhong Xun, Chua, Chee Kai, Shen, Yu Fang, Kuo, Che Nan

“…The results showed an improvement when the samples were heat treated at a temperature of 400 °C for a period of 5 min. The enhancement in the shape memory behavior of the repetitively scanned samples was mainly attributed to the formation of fine Ni4Ti3 metastable precipitates.…”

An investigation on the role of W doping in BiVO 4 photoanodes used for solar water splitting by Zhao, Xin, Hu, Jun, Chen, Shi, Chen, Zhong

“…Theoretical analysis shows that W doping activates the V atoms to be reactive sites. Moreover, the adsorption energies and distance between adsorption species (OHads, Oads, and OOHads) involved in the water splitting process become more favorable for surface charge transfer. …”

Succession of biofilm communities responsible for biofouling of membrane bio-reactors (MBRs) by Luo, Jinxue, Lv, Pengyi, Zhang, Jinsong, Fane, Anthony Gordon, McDougald, Diane, Rice, Scott A.

“…Based on qPCR data, bacteria were the dominant taxa of the biofilm (92.9–98.4%) relative to fungi (1.5–6.9%) and archaea (0.03–0.07%). NMDS analysis indicated that during the initial stages of operation, the biofilm communities were indistinguishable from those found in the sludge. …”

Synthesis and characterization of mesoporous expanded graphite modified with PA/H3PO4 for enhanced oil sorption efficiency by Elbidi, Moammar, Mohd Salleh, Mohamad Amran, Gunam Resul, Mohamad Faiz Mukhtar, Rashid, Suraya Abdul

“…The chemical intercalation procedure was carried out at room temperature for 30 min in the first step "oxidation" with an optimum weight ratio of 1 g: 5.1 g: 18.8 g: 0.2 of NGF, PA, H3PO4, and KMnO4. …”

0-1 Knapsack in Nearly Quadratic Time by Jin, Ce

“…Recent research interest has focused on its finegrained complexity with respect to the number of items 𝑛 and the maximum item weight 𝑤max. Under (min, +)-convolution hypothesis, 0-1 Knapsack does not have𝑂( (𝑛+𝑤max) 2−𝛿 ) time algorithms (Cygan-Mucha-Węgrzycki-Włodarczyk 2017 and Künnemann-PaturiSchneider 2017). …”

Reallocation of time between device-measured movement behaviours and risk of incident cardiovascular disease by Walmsley, R, Chan, S, Smith-Byrne, K, Ramakrishnan, R, Woodward, M, Rahimi, K, Dwyer, T, Bennett, D, Doherty, A

“…For an average individual, reallocating 20 min/day to MVPA from all other behaviours proportionally was associated with 9% (95% CI 7% to 10%) lower risk, while reallocating 1 hour/day to sedentary behaviour from all other behaviours proportionally was associated with 5% (95% CI 3% to 7%) higher risk.…”

Characterization of ubiquitin-activated DNA-protein crosslink repair in vitro by Zhu, X

“…Surprisingly, the complete cleavage of tetra-ubiquitin-modified H1, but not the 2xISG15-H1 fusion, can be observed within 5 min by the SprT core, indicating the much more efficient activating effect of Ub chains on SPRTN proteolysis.…”

Incorporating a guanidine-modified cytosine base into triplex-forming PNAs for the recognition of a C-G pyrimidine–purine inversion site of an RNA duplex by Toh, Desiree-Faye Kaixin, Devi, Gitali, Patil, Kiran M., Qu, Qiuyu, Maraswami, Manikantha, Xiao, Yunyun, Loh, Teck Peng, Zhao, Yanli, Chen, Gang

“…Selective binding towards an RNA duplex over a single-stranded RNA can be rationalized by the fact that alkylation of the amine of a 5-methyl C base blocks the Watson–Crick edge. PNAs incorporating multiple guanidine-modified cytosine residues are able to enter HeLa cells without any transfection agent.…”
