Loss of caveolin-1 impairs light flicker-induced neurovascular coupling at the optic nerve head by Loo, Jing Hong, Lee, Ying Shi, Woon, Chang Yi, Yong, Victor H. K., Tan, Bingyao, Schmetterer, Leopold, Chong, Rachel S.

“…However, there was no significant difference in RGC density between Cav-1 KO and wild type mice. These findings highlight the role of Cav-1 in regulating neurovascular coupling and IOP and suggest that the loss of Cav-1 may predispose to vascular dysfunction and decreased RGC signaling in the absence of structural loss. …”

Biochemical characterisation of NS2B-NS3 protease from flaviviruses by Nah, Jojo Qian Hui

“…We reported that ZIKV NS2B-NS3 WTpro has the highest protease activity and DENV NS2B47- G4SG4 NS3WTpro has the highest rate of trans-cleavage. These findings demonstrate the importance of protease activity that could be used for drug discovery process in designing inhibitor.…”

To What Extent Do Alternative Energy Sources Displace Coal and Oil in Electricity Generation? A Mean-Group Panel Analysis by Liddle, Brantley

“…As such, our approach avoids/addresses several statistical issues common in long-macro panel analyses—heterogeneity, nonstationarity, and cross-sectional dependence—that have largely been ignored/unaddressed in previous displacement studies. Ultimately, we find that the displacement effect is small and only marginally significant for nuclear, and is significant though less than unity for natural gas and hydro, whereas intermittent renewables (solar and wind) have unitary displacement effect. …”

Electrospun fibrous aerogels for air filtration by Tng, Zi Kang

“…A compression test of 100th cycles of the NFA filter showed that the filters retained their mechanical integrity as seen from the cyclic stress-strain curves. These findings show that the PI-PAN/ZIF-8 NFA filters can potentially be used in the filtration of fine particles at high temperature environment, such as car exhaust and coal furnace exhaust where the temperatures can range up to 300 ºC.…”
