Is clicking mechanism good for flapping wing micro aerial vehicle? by Chin, Yao Wei, Lau, Gih Keong

“…When moved passed the midpoint, it now tends to move to the other extreme, together with the external force, resulting in a fast, snapping ‘click’ to the other extreme. Hence, the clicking prototype showed a sudden high increase in wing flap speed when it is moved beyond midpoint towards the other end. …”

Effect of dopant solubility and excess doping on the superconducting properties of doped Nb3Sn prepared by field assisted sintering technique by Srivastava, N, Matthews, GAB, Liu, J, Speller, SC, Grovenor, CRM, Santra, S

“…Ru and Y-doped Nb₃Sn superconducting alloys were prepared through mechanical alloying (MA) route followed by sintering using Field Assisted Sintering Technique (FAST). Analysis by X-ray diffraction demonstrates a significant decrement in crystallite size up to 0.5 wt% for the Ru-doped Nb₃Sn followed by a significant increment when doping level reaches 1 wt% Ru. …”

The role of calcium dependent neurotransmission in axon path finding, myelination and maintenance of specified cortical projection neuron populations by Korrell, K

Evaluation of growth patterns and maternal traits of Brakmas and Bali cows by Abd Wahab, Mohd. Hafiz

“…It was also found that every model estimated negative correlation between the mature size and maturing rate, indicating that animals with slower growth will attain its mature size later than fast growing animals. Brakmas cattle showed higher maternal ability compared to Bali cattle in this study. …”

Structure-activity relationships of photo-activated soft tissue Adhesive by Wicaksono, Gautama

“…FTIR and NMR analysis of arlydiazirine precursor reveals the decay kinetics of diazoalkane, and in some cases diazoalkane groups are stable for at least 30 minutes. Different UV wavelengths allow curing of diazirine with different efficiency depending on its shift relative to diazirine’s absorbance peak (~360 nm), and the longer wavelengths within this absorption region is able to penetrate the bioadhesive matrix deeper. …”
