Design and development of a 2-DoF tilt-rotor quadcopter by Ang, Zheng Da

“…A quadcopter with fully actuated propellers is more agile and manoeuvrable, as the propellers can be rotated in their elevation and bank axes using tilt-rotor mechanisms to confer thrust vectoring capabilities. Also, the fault tolerance characteristics of a quadcopter can be enhanced with fully actuated propellers. …”

COVID-19 regulations, political Institutions, and the environment by Fredriksson, Per G., Mohanty, Aatishya

“…A given stringency of COVID-19 containment and closure policies had a stronger effect on air quality in more democratic countries, and in countries with majoritarian rather than proportional electoral rules. Our estimates suggest that the improvement in air quality was around 57% greater in majoritarian systems than in proportional systems. …”

On the physics of intranuclear organization by Sood, Amogh

“…It has recently become apparent that the cells accomplish this feat by leveraging physical processes such as liquid-liquid phase separation driven by multivalent macromolecular interactions to form biomolecular condensates which can serve as membrane-less organelles for the precise, vectorial organization of intranuclear contents. In particular, the hierarchical and functional packaging of DNA into chromatin is mediated by phase separation. …”

A composite electrode of TiO2 nanotubes and nanoparticles synthesised by hydrothermal treatment for use in dye-sensitized solar cells by Wang, Hairong, Zhao, Dongliang, Huo, Kaifu, Fu, Jijiang, Wang, Xiaoyan, Sun, Lidong, Zhang, Sam, Wang, Xiu

“…Using the same nanotube length (i.e., 6.5 μm), but different treatment durations, it was found that nanotubes under hydrothermal treatment for 45 min yielded the best photovoltaic performance, due to the combined merits of a high surface area and vectorial electron transport. Under the same treatment duration (i.e., 45 min), but using different nanotube lengths, nanoparticle formation was found to be accelerated in the longer tubes. …”
