Ultrafast dynamics in quantum materials probed by time-and-momentum-resolved techniques by Su, Yifan

“…This part of the thesis will examine a series of CDW materials with multiple CDW orders, including ErTe₃, EuTe₄, and, CsV₃Sb₅. Via a series of ultrafast multi-messenger experiments, I will survey various origins and behaviors of CDW interactions and answer longstanding questions about the nature of CDW ground states in these quantum materials. …”

Construction of complex nanostructures in solution phase by Xu, Jun

“…Furthermore, Au nanoring composed of close-packed monolayer free-standing films were achieved by simply using Ppy modified Au nanorings self-assembly at water/oil interface. Finally, in chapter 5, we demonstrated that the as-synthesized Au nanor-ings could be fused into coherent Au nanorings. …”

Biomolecular hydration in protein-protein interaction, protein stability and aggregation and lead optimization : computational studies by Mohan Rajan Pradhan

“…One of these proteins, eIF4E, is highly hydrated in its nucleotide binding pocket as is seen in several crystal structures, and presented us with a good opportunity to explore the importance of these water molecules using „JAL‟ (Chapter 5). Combining systematic data mining and quantification of these hydration sites using „JAL‟ a novel two water-bridge motif is identified that appears to be central to the nucleotide recognition by eIF4E. …”

会话分析研究 ： “like” 在新加坡华语中的语用功能 = Conversation analysis : “like” in Singapore Mandarin conversations by 陈珠凤 Tan, Kyu Houng

“…Results show that “like” take on different discourse functions in different Mandarin conversation contexts: (1) turn-initial object of a response, allowing listeners to take their turn in the conversation by elaborating on an existing topic; (2) a pragmatic hedge with the role of a face-saving device for the speaker (3) filler indicator (4) explanation marker (5) repair marker (6) quotation complement.…”
