Molecular engineering of biomolecule-based functional nanodots for biomedical applications by Xu Victor Hesheng

“…This strategy offers a simple and green approach as it utilises mainly biomolecules ranging from macro biostructures such as protein, DNA, to poly saccharides, polypeptide and even the building units such as nucleotides and amino acid, and their intrinsic properties to facilitate the formation of nanomaterials. Moreover, the resulting bioinspired nanomaterials are often endowed with unique characteristics such as rich chemical functionalities, aqueous solubility, unusual optical features, and great biocompatibility. …”

Post-quantum attacks against symmetric-key cryptography systems by Pham, Thi Minh Phuong

“…Next, building upon the observation that multi-collision attacks can be trans- formed into collision attacks, we adapted our automated tools to facilitate collision attacks. By incorporating the rebound techniques and the degree of freedom from keys and states to our model, we achieved significant advancements in the number of attacked rounds, ranging from one to five, in various target systems such as AES-128, Saturnin hashing mode, Grøstl-512, and SKINNY-hash. …”

“…To begin these studies, an in silico model biomimetic nanopore was designed to facilitate the exploration of Clˉ interactions with hydrophobic surfaces in confinement. …”

Dependency, privilege, and counter-insurgency: a case study of the industrial elite of Hebron in the occupied West Bank by Arafeh, N

“…Third, through a critical examination of U.S.-led Trade Facilitation Programmes (TFPs), I examine the role of the U.S. in reinforcing capital concentration in Hebron, by distributing privileges to certain actors, while reinforcing dependency relations with Israel. …”

Content learning in Japanese and English medium instruction: comparing chemistry learning outcomes in Japanese higher education by Aizawa, I

“…Meanwhile, a range of factors also emerged as crucial facilitators for success in EMI, such as previous exposure to EMI education, motivation, revision and preparation, and learning strategies. …”

Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, RP, Rex, AJ, Norry, MJ

“…During extension, sub-orthogonal dilatational forces exceeded sub-horizontal shear stresses thus facilitating the repeated emplacement of sheeted granite melt, a process analogous to low-angle tension gash development. …”

Streamlining electronic reporting of serious adverse events (SAEs) using the REDCap data collection system: the eSAE Project by Black, J, Julier, P, Eldridge, L, Barber, V

“…</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>A module has been created in REDCap to facilitate electronic SAE reporting: enabling an AE form to automatically trigger an SAE form for any AE which is also a SAE, prepopulating relevant fields of the SAE form, reducing the risk of delay and error when entering data into the SAE form. …”

“Encouraged to be your true self”: an interpretative phenomenological study of medical students’ experiences of role models in shaping sexual minority identity at medical school... by Zacharias, A, Aitken, D

“…Greater explicit institutional support of studentled SM societies, and facilitation of the presence and discussion of SM symbols and personal identities within professional spaces, may go a long way in redefining ‘normativity’ in medical schools.…”
