Air bearing surface design for high flying stabilities by Lim, Choon Ming.

“…With continuous technology improvement and the demand for higher recording density towards tera-bit per square inch and more, the flying height of the slider must be reduced greatly to the region of nanometre scale. At such an ultralow flying height, there is a possibility for magnetic head-platter disk crashes or instable head-disk spacing due to short-range interaction forces. …”

A middle infrared hyperspectral imaging based on diffraction grating and metalens by Gong, Tu

“…It can be a dispersive element in hyperspectral imaging for light in the mid-infrared region (MIR). The diffraction grating style is improved from blazed grating by changing the ladder or cylindrical surfaces to several bars. …”

Identification of RNA-Tis11b complexes in activated B cells. by Tang, Ngang Heok.

“…A type of RBPs, called 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inducible sequence (TIS11) family members (Tis11, Tis11b and Tis11d), can bind to AU-rich elements (AREs) in 3’-untranslated region (3’ UTR) of mRNAs. To date, not much is known about roles of Tis11 family members in B and T lymphocytes and the full spectrum of their RNA targets in these cells has not been described. …”

Novel frequency selective structures based on a two-dimensional periodic array of vertical microstrip lines by Amir Khurrum Rashid

“…In the second part, an air-to-array discontinuity is solved using Floquet modes in the air-region. Based on the full-wave analysis, a number of FSSs have been fabricated, which exhibit stable quasi-elliptic filtering response under a large variation of the angle of incidence. …”

Crystallographic details of the nucleotide-binding pocket of subunit A and B of A-ATP synthases and insight into the nucleotide-binding subunit α of the Escherichia coli F-ATP synt... by Vikeramjeet Singh Tadwal

“…The sites for ATP synthesis or hydrolysis are located at the interfaces of A- and B-subunits, which are arranged alternately in hexameric fashion to form the A3B3 headpiece. A region that is critical for nucleotide binding in the A- and B-subunit of A-ATP synthases is the loop called as P-loop (phosphate-binding loop). …”

Ultrsonic testing of bond integrity in adhesive joints between 2 similar metals by Ang, Marcus

“…The A-scan will be used as ultrasonic testing at the overlap region of the lap-joint. Firstly, attenuation loss is calculated based on the 1st back-echo (B.E) and 2nd B.E readings obtained from the experiment. …”

Study on effects of surface albedo on outdoor environment using actual scale models by Lim, Zheng Wei

“…These surfaces absorb the heat in the day and release them at night, causing the region to be warmer. People combat this problem by using the air-conditioner. …”

Fourier transform infrared for noninvasive optical diagnosis of oral, oropharyngeal, and laryngeal cancer by Menzies, GE, Fox, HR, Marnane, C, Pope, L, Prabhu, V, Winter, S, Derrick, AV, Lewis, PD

“…Cell pellets were produced from each of these samples and used to generate FTIR spectra within the ‘biochemical fingerprint’ wavenumber region of 1800 to 950 cm−1. Discrimination between cancer and normal sputum was achieved using infrared wavenumbers 1650 cm−1, 1550 cm−1, and 1042 cm−1 determined by robust feature selection. …”

The relationship between visual acuity loss and GABAergic inhibition in amblyopia by Ip, IB, Clarke, WT, Wyllie, A, Tracey, K, Matuszewski, J, Jbabdi, S, Starling, L, Templer, S, Willis, H, Breach, L, Bridge, H, Parker, AJ

“…Single voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) data were collected from the early visual cortex (EVC) and posterior cingulate cortex (control region) of twenty-eight male and female adults with current or past amblyopia while they viewed flashing checkerboards monocularly, binocularly, or while they had their eyes closed. …”

Mathematical model of plant nutrient uptake by Roose, T

“…The water uptake model shows that the water saturation can develop pseudo-steady-state wet and dry zones in the rooting region of the soil. The dry zone is shown to stop the movement of nutrient from the top of the soil to the groundwater. …”

Highly variable freshwater reservoir offsets found along the Upper Lena watershed, Cis-Baikal, southeast Siberia by Schulting, R, Ramsey, CB, Bazaliiskii, VI, Weber, A

“…In contrast to previous studies centered on Lake Baikal and the Angara River, human stable nitrogen isotope values show little or no correlation with the radiocarbon offset, despite the clear trophic differences seen in δ¹⁵N between terrestrial and aquatic sources of protein in the region's isotope ecology. However, stable carbon isotope measurements show a moderate negative correlation of some predictive value (r = −0.70, p = 0.016, df = 10). …”

Epigenetic age acceleration and methylation differences in IgG4-related cholangitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis by Noble, A, Motta, R, Cabras, S, Flores, BM, Nowak, J, Glapa-Nowak, A, Geremia, A, Satsangi, J, Culver, E

“…Conclusions: We identify novel epigenetic alterations in IgG4-SC and PSC, with biological age acceleration in IgG4-SC, providing insights into disease pathogenesis, and highlight the role of genetic variation especially within the HLA region in shaping the methylome.…”

Maize monoculture supported pre-Columbian urbanism in southwestern Amazonia by Lombardo, U, Hilbert, L, Bentley, M, Bronk Ramsey, C, Dudgeon, Gaitan-Roca, A, Iriarte, J, Mejía Ramón, AG, Quezada, S, Raczka, M, Watling,JG, Neves, E, Mayle, F

“…The Casarabe culture (500–1400 ce), spreading over roughly 4,500 km² of the monumental mounds region of the Llanos de Moxos, Bolivia, is one of the clearest examples of urbanism in pre-Columbian (pre-1492 ce) Amazonia. …”

A fundamental study on the potential LSPI promoting mechanisms of Ca and Mg based oil detergents by McAllister, MJ, Davy, MH, Doherty, LJ, LePage, LM, Wheeler, C
