Crystalline olefin-linked chiral covalent organic frameworks as a platform for asymmetric catalysis by He, Ting, On, Ivan Keng Wee, Bi, Shuai, Huang, Ziyue, Guo, Jingjing, Wang, Zhifang, Zhao, Yanli

“…The construction of olefin-linked chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with high crystallinity is highly desirable while remains great challenge due to the poor reversibility of the formation reaction for the olefin linkages during the in situ structural self-healing process. …”

Linking root microbiome composition to relative fitness differences that impact plant-plant competition by Norton, CH

“…This work could be complemented by functional analysis of soil communities and root microbiomes, or the use of synthetic communities to link microbial taxa to plant fitness effects. These results support the importance of soil communities to processes that impact plant species coexistence, and thus the maintenance of biodiversity.…”

Strengthening the policy impact of multidimensional metrics given attention constraints: constructing linked metrics by Alkire, S, Vaz, A, Oldiges, C

“…This paper therefore recommends developing linked and synergistic measures for vulnerable groups that maximise common ground, while offering population-specific insights. …”

Heterogeneity within colorectal cancer cell lines and epigenetic regulation of CD24 by Ibn Ayub, M

“…This thesis investigated the role of methylation in dynamic regulation of CD24 based heterogeneity in colorectal cancer cell lines. First, E-Cadherin variation between the cell lines LS174T and LS180 was investigated to find out whether E-Cadherin had any causal role in the difference in lumen formation between these two cell lines derived from the same tumour. …”

Ultra-wideband transmission line bandpass filters with sharpened roll-off skirts by Quek, Alwyn Chiao Liang

“…The design consists of a ring resonator in the middle connected by interdigital coupled lines fed from both sides of the network. This ring resonator is studied to relocate its first four resonant modes within the 3.1 to 10.6 GHz passband, whereas placing the fifth resonant mode at the coupling transmission zero of the interdigital coupled lines that drive this MMR at both sides of the network. …”
