Study of planning and operational aspects of tidal in-stream power generation by Mahda J. Jahromi

“…Even though harnessing marine energy through water wheels can be traced back to the early civilizations, no major step was taken to exploit this vast source of energy until the mid-70s after the first oil crisis. Ever since, many countries have begun to investigate and invest in this vast and predictable source of energy. …”

Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF): Towards a Better Understanding of Vegetation Dynamics and Carbon Uptake in Arctic-Boreal Ecosystems by Cheng, Rui

“…Solar-Induced chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF), a good proxy for vegetation CO $$^{2}$$ 2 uptake, has been broadly utilized to assess vegetation dynamics and carbon uptake at the global scale. However, the full potential and limitations of SIF in the Arctic-Boreal region have not been explored. …”

Near-zero environmental impact aircraft by Prashanth, Prakash, Elmourad, Jad, Grobler, Carla, Isaacs, Stewart, Zahid, Syed Shayan, Abel, James, Falter, Christoph, Fritz, Thibaud, Allroggen, Florian, Sabnis, Jayant S., Eastham, Sebastian D., Speth, Raymond L., Barrett, Steven R. H.

“…We contrast the environmental impacts of today's aircraft-energy system against one built around either “drop-in” fuels or hydrogen. We find that a “zero-impact” aircraft is possible using either hydrogen or power-to-liquid “drop-in” fuels. …”

Nanostructured bimetallic sulfides as Na ion battery anodes by Chen, Jingwei

“…By employing ether electrolyte, bimetallic sulfide-based composites anode further enhanced the rate performance and cycling stability, thus delivering a fast and stable SIB full cell by employing CMS1-rGO anode. In addition, the electrochemical mechanism of NMGS and PBC1-1S have been investigated, confirming the conversion reaction in carbonate-based electrolyte while intercalation is dominant in the ether electrolyte. …”

Solution-processed highly bright and durable cesium lead halide perovskite light-emitting diodes by Wei, Zhanhua, Perumal, Ajay, Su, Rui, Sushant, Shendre, Xing, Jun, Zhang, Qing, Tan, Swee Tiam, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Xiong, Qihua

“…LEDs employing such high quality films show a high luminance of 7276 cd m−2 and high color purity with a full width at half maximum of 18 nm. Furthermore, the as-fabricated LEDs reveal an outstanding ambient stability with a decent luminance output (>100 cd m−2, steady increase without any degradation trend) for at least 15 h under a constant driving current density (66.7 mA cm−2). …”

Development of an air conditioning compressor for a 2-in-1 electric motor for electric vehicles by N. Satheesh Kumar

“…Data published by Mitsubishi Motors reveals that the air-conditioning system reduces the cruise-range of the EV by as much as 50% when operated at full capacity. Keeping this in focus, the objective of the present thesis is to design a new 2-in-1 motor electric motor for EVs that integrates the air-conditioning compressor, its motor and the traction motor in a single system. …”

Fictions of youth: childness in selected West African novels, 1991-2009 by Moellenberg, T

“…</p> <p>Chapter 3 continues to explore the figure of the child as a complex and multivalent symbol. However, it finds that Helen Oyeyemi's <em>The Icarus Girl</em> (2005) and Yaba Badoe's <em>True Murder</em> (2009) do not disavow children's personhood, as Iweala and Jarrett-Macauley appear to do. …”

The role of p53 and ASPP2 in neurodegenerative disease by Turnquist, C

“…Δ133p53 functions as a dominant-negative regulator of full-length (FL)Lp53 and represses senescence, while p53β as a co-activator of FLLp53, promotes senescence. …”

Remote digital cognitive assessment reveals cognitive deficits related to hippocampal atrophy in autoimmune limbic encephalitis: a cross-sectional validation study by Shibata, K, Attaallah, B, Tai, X-Y, Trender, W, Hellyer, PJ, Hampshire, A, Irani, SR, Manohar, SG, Husain, M

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Interpretation:</strong> These findings demonstrate that subtle cognitive deficits in patients with chronic ALE, who often show full recovery in measures of disability and dependence on daily activities, are detectable using a remote online platform, which also relates to hippocampal atrophy. …”

Understanding lived experiences of bereaved parents of children with chronic life-threatening Illness : towards a culture-specific and meaning-oriented narrative E-writing interven... by Dutta, Oindrila

“…Qualitative framework analysis of post-intervention feedback highlighted participants’ satisfaction with the opportunity to reflect on their caregiving experiences, acceptance of an internet-and-narrative-based platform for self-expression and structured counseling support, and compatibility of the NeW-I therapeutic-protocol with participants’ needs. Taken together, findings from this pilot investigation indicate that NeW-I could enhance holistic pediatric palliative services in Singapore and a full-scale community trial with a larger and more diverse sample is warranted. …”
