Optical fiber based environmental sensors by Huang, Jieyuan

“…The joint fiber end consists of a standard single-mode fiber (SMF) and a multi-mode fiber (MMF) segment with certain length. A tunable laser and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) were used as a power source and CNTs were deposited at the end of the fiber due to gradient force. …”

An optimization-driven approach for computing geodesic paths on triangle meshes by Liu, Bangquan, Chen, Shuangmin, Xin, Shi-Qing, He, Ying, Liu, Zhen, Zhao, Jieyu

“…A typical way to solve this problem is to iteratively shorten one segment of the path at a time. As local approaches, they are conceptually simple and easy to implement, but they converge slowly and have poor performance on large scale models. …”

Deciphering the mechanisms of cross-presentation for exogenous ROPs through their interaction with cathepsin S by Stephens, AJ

“…<p>Recombinant overlapping peptides (ROPs) are composed of short overlapping peptide sequences formed into one chain encompassing the sequence of a cancer antigen. Each overlapping segment is separated by a cathepsin S cleavage site for processing within dendritic cells to promote antigen cross-presentation and an anti-tumour response. …”

A human atlas of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation by Inoue, M

“…</p> <br> <p>To unveil tissue-specific signatures of 5mC and 5hmC, we first segment the genome into blocks of correlated modification levels for each modification. …”

Exploring the Conceptual Definition of Islamic Financial Literacy from the Quran and Sunnah by Ab Rashid, Rosemaliza, Zainol, Zairani, Isa, Mohamad Yazid, Mohd Taib, Hasniza, Khairol Nizam, Aini Nur Hajjar

“…Since some of the elements are not compatible with the rapidly growing segment of the Islamic financial services industry, there is a pressing need to explore the concept of financial literacy from the Shariah perspective. …”

Kinetic subspace investigation using neural network for uncertainty quantification in nonpremixed flamelets by Koenig, Benjamin C, Ji, Weiqi, Deng, Sili

“…However, this one-dimensional assumption does not apply to all flamelet regimes. In the current work, we developed a systematic approach to discover low-dimensional active subspace reductions that apply to the entire mixture fraction space of the flamelet, and that function even in cases where the uncertainty response is not uniform across the entire solution domain and the one-dimensional assumption does not apply. …”

Origin of residual strain in heteroepitaxial films by Postelnicu, Eveline, Wen, Rui-Tao, Ma, Danhao, Wang, Baoming, Wada, Kazumi, Michel, Jurgen, Kimerling, Lionel C

“…The model is expressed in terms of three regimes: (1) misfit control for the low temperature growth regime at 400 °C; (2) point defect control via annealing in the point defect recovery regime at 500–650 °C; and (3) thermal expansion control for growth or anneal at T &amp;gt; 650 °C in the dislocation recovery regime. …”

16.100 Aerodynamics, Fall 2002 by Darmofal, David L.

“…This course extends fluid mechanic concepts from Unified Engineering to the aerodynamic performance of wings and bodies in sub/supersonic regimes. 16.100 generally has four components: subsonic potential flows, including source/vortex panel methods; viscous flows, including laminar and turbulent boundary layers; aerodynamics of airfoils and wings, including thin airfoil theory, lifting line theory, and panel method/interacting boundary layer methods; and supersonic and hypersonic airfoil theory. …”

Dynamics of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model : a comparison of three numerical approaches by Yao, Yao, Duan, Liwei, Lü, Zhiguo, Wu, Chang-Qin, Zhao, Yang

“…The Davydov D1 ansatz and the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group can both be reliably employed in the weak-coupling regime, while the former is also valid in the strong-coupling regime as judged by how faithfully the trial state follows the Schrodinger ¨ equation. …”

Terahertz-optical intensity grating for creating high-charge, attosecond electron bunches by Lim, Jeremy, Chong, Yidong, Wong, Liang Jie

“…Currently, however, the shortest achievable bunches, at attosecond time scales, have only been realized in the single- or very few-electron regimes, limited by Coulomb repulsion and electron energy spread. …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…It can thus be shown that a commitment to democracy entails a commitment to certain privacy rights—a finding that circumvents the difficulty in establishing a common basis for privacy protections by appealing to all citizens who live under democratic regimes. In abandoning familiar understandings of privacy, the political approach to privacy does away with the problematic emphasis on consent, adapts privacy to an ever-changing surveillance environment, addresses prominent critiques of privacy rights, and provides a common basis of justification for future privacy legislation. …”

Nonlinear evolution and acceleration of unstable fuel-lean hydrogen/air flame at normal and cryogenic temperatures by Yang, L, Zhang, T, Wang, Y, Fang, X, Leach, F, Chen, Z

“…By changing the equivalence ratio, initial temperature and channel size, the intensity of DLI and DTI varies, resulting in various regimes of flame evolution. It is found that cryogenic flames are more unstable than normal flames. …”

Temporal evolution of mechanical properties in PDMS: A comparative study of elastic modulus and relaxation time for storage in air and aqueous environment by Zhang, Y, Adam, C, Rehnstrom, H, Contera, S

“…The identification of two distinct relaxation times suggests the involvement of two disparate material property regimes in the relaxation process, implying changes in the surface material composition at the interface with air/water. …”

Modeling mass removal and sediment deposition in stormwater ponds using floating treatment islands: a computational approach by Xavier, Manoel L. M., Janzen, Johannes G., Nepf, Heidi

“…In cases where both processes occur simultaneously, the presence of FTIs lead to higher mass removal, primarily attributed to the FTIs themselves, particularly in the initial segment. Remarkably, certain FTI configurations enable mass removal exceeding 70% for large sediment particles, even with a pond length less than half of the original.…”

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Molecular Probe for Sensitive Imaging of Keloid by Miao, Qingqing, Yeo, David Chenloong, Wiraja, Christian, Zhang, Jianjian, Ning, Xiaoyu, Xu, Chenjie, Pu, Kanyi

“…As keloid cells have high expression levels of fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAPα), the probe (FNP1) is designed to have a caged NIR dye and a FAPα-cleavable peptide substrate linked by a self-immolative segment. FNP1 can quickly and specifically turn on its fluorescence at 710 nm by 45-fold in the presence of FAPα, allowing it to effectively recognize keloid cells from normal skin cells. …”
