Validation of size estimation of nanoparticle tracking analysis on polydisperse macromolecule assembly by Kim, Ahram, Ng, Wei Beng, Bernt, William, Cho, Nam-Joon

“…Because DLS and NTA use identical physical characteristics to determine particle size but differ in the weighting of the distribution, NTA can be a good verification tool for DLS and vice versa. In this study, we evaluated two NTA data analysis methods based on maximum-likelihood estimation, namely finite track length adjustment (FTLA) and an iterative method, on monodisperse polystyrene beads and polydisperse vesicles by comparing the results with DLS. …”

Segregated interactions in urban and online space by Dong, Xiaowen, Morales, Alfredo J., Jahani, Eaman, Moro, Esteban, Lepri, Bruno, Bozkaya, Burcin, Sarraute, Carlos, Bar-Yam, Yaneer, Pentland, Alex

“…We show that segregated interaction is amplified relative to the expected effects of geographic segregation in terms of both purchase activity and online communication. Furthermore, we find that segregation increases with difference in socio-economic status but is asymmetric for purchase activity, i.e., the amount of interaction from poorer to wealthier neighborhoods is larger than vice versa. …”

Mechanical problem solving by plush-crested jays: are tools special after all? by Lois-Milevicich, J, Rat-Fischer, L, de la Colina, MA, Gómez, RO, Reboreda, JC, Kacelnik, A

“…Tool use is taxonomically associated with high behavioural flexibility and innovativeness, and its prevalence is greater in primates and some bird species. This association, however, is not known to be causally determinant of tool-related competence since flexibility and innovativeness are often observed in the absence of tool use and vice versa. …”

Optimization of Sb2(S, Se)3 photoabsorbers for photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction by Lee, Kian Jie

“…This is due to their unique characteristics, such as tuneable band gap, quasi-1D crystal structure, appropriate band alignment for water splitting, a stable single orthorhombic phase, low cost and non-toxicity. …”

Electrical characterization of three-dimensional graphene infused polymers by Ho, Roderick Zhan Feng

“…Multiple variations of the fabrication method will be experimented on to find the optimal production procedure. One variation example is the type of connection method in which the rectangular electrical contact with lesser surface area is compared to the ring-shaped electrical contact which has larger surface area. …”
