Precipitation trend analysis for The Langat River Basin, Selangor, Malaysia by Palizdan, Narges

“…In order to identify the homogeneous regions respectively for the annual and seasonal scales, firstly, at- site mean total annual and separately at site mean total seasonal precipitation were spatialized into 5 km × 5 km grids using the inverse distance weighting (IDW) algorithm. Next, the optimum number of homogeneous regions (clusters) is computed using the Silhouette Coefficient approach. …”

Migration of magnetic microparticles through a liquid–liquid interface under an external magnetic field by Mondal, S, Abbasi, N, Tsai, SSH, Griffiths, IM

“…Liquid–liquid interfaces play a pivotal role in various microfluidic processes involving microparticles, including coating, dissolution, controlled release of polyelectrolytes or drugs, and self-assembly processes. In all of these cases, non-invasive techniques to manipulate the microparticle transport are essential. …”

Clinical Aspergillus signatures in COPD and bronchiectasis by Tiew, Pei Yee, Thng, Kai Xian, Chotirmall, Sanjay Haresh

“…Notably, Aspergillus species remain the best-studied fungal pathogen and induce a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations in COPD and bronchiectasis ranging from colonization and sensitization to more invasive disease. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has gained prominence in the field of respiratory infection, and in some cases is beginning to act as a viable alternative to traditional culture. …”
