3D Printing for Marketing and Advertisement Industry by Wu, Wenjin, Tor, Shu Beng

“…3D printing provides a new dimension for the communication of value of products and services to the audience through concept modelling, which prevents ambiguity of design throughout the product life cycle for design, visualisation, verification and presentation purposes. It provides near identical model of the prelaunch product for the customer to touch and see, and even to test the product functionality. …”

A study on the snowing phenomenon in binary alloy solidification by Saffie, M.G.M., Tso, Chih Ping., Tan, F. L.

“…The snowing phenomenon has been observed in some studies where seed crystals formed near the bottom of the test cell during solidification are carried up flow above the mushy layer by thermo-solutal convection flow, and they fall down on it just like atmospheric snow occurring in nature. …”

Modeling the mechanisms of non-neurogenic dynamic cerebral autoregulation by van Zijl, N, Banerjee, A, Payne, SJ

“…Objective: Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) refers to a collection of mechanisms that act to maintain steady state cerebral blood flow (CBF) near constant despite changes in arterial blood pressure (ABP), but which is known to become impaired in various cerebrovascular diseases. …”

Upconversion nanoparticles-modified aptasensors for highly sensitive mycotoxin detection for food quality and safety by Bahari, H-R, Mousavi Khaneghah, A, Eş, I

“…UCNPs consist of lanthanide ions in ceramic host, and their ladder-like energy levels at f-orbitals have unique photophysical properties, including converting low-energy photons to high-energy emissions by a series of complex processes and offering sharp, low-noise, and sensitive near-infrared to visible detection strategy to enhance the efficacy of aptasensors for novel mycotoxin detection. …”

Depth-dependent oxygen redox activity in lithium-rich layered oxide cathodes by Naylor, AJ, Makkos, E, Maibach, J, Guerrini, N, Sobkowiak, A, Björklund, E, Lozano, JG, Menon, AS, Younesi, R, Roberts, MR, Edström, K, Islam, MS, Bruce, PG

“…Energy-tuned photoelectron spectroscopy is used as a powerful, yet highly sensitive technique to probe electronic states of oxygen and transition metals from the top few nanometers at the near-surface through to the bulk of the particles. …”

A 0.4 V, 12.2 pW leakage, 36.5 fJ/step switching efficiency data retention flip-flop in 22 nm FDSOI by Ji, Yuxin, Zhang, Yuhang, Chen, Changyan, Zhao, Jian, Rokhani, Fakhrul Zaman, Ismail, Yehea, Li, Yongfu

“…This brief proposes an ultralow power DR-FF design with an improved autonomous data-retention (ADR) latch operating with a supply voltage range down to near/subthreshold, achieving a sleep mode leakage power of 12.2 pW, 1.4 × -3.8 × less than the prior CMOS DR-FFs. …”

The potential of value management (VM) to improve the consideration of energy efficiency within pre-construction by Tahir, Mohamad Zamhari, Mohd Nawi, Mohd Nasrun, Rajemi, Mohamad Farizal

Observation of a Prethermal U(1) Discrete Time Crystal by Stasiuk, Andrew, Cappellaro, Paola

“…Recent theoretical work has developed the notion of prethermalization without temperature, expanding the class of time-crystal systems to explain time-crystalline observations at (or near) infinite temperature. In this work, we conclusively observe the emergence of a prethermal U(1) time-crystalline state at quasi-infinite temperature in a solid-state NMR quantum emulator by verifying the requisites of prethermalization without temperature. …”
