Effect of the surface charge of monodisperse particulate foulants on cake formation
(2018)In microfiltration and ultrafiltration, particulate foulants are inevitably deposited on the membrane surface, forming a cake whose structure and behaviour play crucial roles in the subsequent filterability of the suspensions. ... -
A system for region search and exploration
(2016)With the increasing popularity of mobile devices and location based services, massive amount of geo-textual data (e.g., geo-tagged tweets) is being generated everyday. Compared with traditional spatial data, the textual ... -
Antibody treatment against angiopoietin-like 4 reduces pulmonary edema and injury in secondary pneumococcal pneumonia
(2019)Secondary bacterial lung infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.pneumoniae) poses a serious health concern, especially in developing countries. We posit that the emergence of multiantibiotic-resistant strains will ... -
Transportable energy storage for more resilient distribution systems with multiple microgrids
(2019)Transportable energy storage systems (TESSs) have great potential to enhance resilience of distribution systems (DSs) against large area blackouts. A joint post-disaster restoration scheme for TESS and generation scheduling ... -
Profilin negatively regulates formin-mediated actin assembly to modulate pamp-triggered plant immunity
(2018)Profilin functions with formin in actin assembly, a process that regulates multiple aspects of plant development and immune responses. High-level eukaryotes contain multiple isoforms of profilin, formin, and actin, whose ... -
Spatial and temporal robustness of Sr/Ca-SST calibrations in red sea corals : evidence for influence of mean annual temperature on calibration slopes
(2018)Sr/Ca ratios recorded in the aragonite skeleton of massive coral colonies are commonly used to reconstruct seasonal‐ to centennial‐scale variability in sea surface temperature (SST). While the Sr/Ca paleothermometer is ... -
Variability in coral‐reconstructed sea surface salinity between the northern and southern lombok strait linked to East Asian winter monsoon mean state reversals
(2018)The Indonesian throughflow (ITF) impacts heat and buoyancy transport from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean, influencing air‐sea heat exchange and Indo‐Pacific climate. Nearly 80% of the total 15 sverdrups (1 Sv = 106 ... -
Retrospective cohort analysis of real-life decisions about end-of-life care preferences in a Southeast Asian country
(2019)Objective : To describe the end-of-life care preferences of individuals, and to examine the influence of age and gender on these preferences. Design, setting and participants : A retrospective cohort study was conducted. ... -
A simple discrete-time tracking differentiator and its application to speed and position detection system for a maglev train
(2018)In this brief, a novel tracking differentiator (TD) based on discrete time optimal control (DTOC) is presented. In particular, using the state back-stepping method, a DTOC law for a discrete-time, double-integral system ... -
Stable biexcitons in two-dimensional metal-halide perovskites with strong dynamic lattice disorder
(2018)With strongly bound and stable excitons at room temperature, single-layer, two-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are viable semiconductors for light-emitting quantum optoelectronics applications. In such a ... -
Ageing and efficiency aware battery dispatch for arbitrage markets using mixed integer linear programming
(2019)To achieve maximum profit by dispatching a battery storage system in an arbitrage operation, multiple factors must be considered. While revenue from the application is determined by the time variability of the electricity ... -
Enhanced ferromagnetism of ZnO@Co/Ni hybrid core@shell nanowires grown by electrochemical deposition method
(2018)The hybrid structure of ZnO NWs with the presence of different dopants recently has drawn many interests from researchers due to the possibility to integrate multiple functionalities into one single structure. In this ... -
Individual, clinical and system factors associated with the place of death : a linked national database study
(2019)Background : Many middle- and high-income countries face the challenge of meeting preferences for home deaths. A better understanding of associated factors could support the design and implementation of policies and practices ... -
Boolean network modeling of β-cell apoptosis and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus
(2019)Background : Major alteration in lifestyle of human population has promoted Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to the level of an epidemic. This metabolic disorder is characterized by insulin resistance and pancreaticβ-cell ... -
Emerging thermal-responsive materials and integrated techniques targeting the energy-efficient smart window application
(2018)Architectural windows that smartly regulate indoor solar radiation by changing their optical transmittance in response to thermostimuli are developed as a promising solution toward reducing the energy consumption of ... -
Depletion of gram-positive bacteria impacts hepatic biological functions during the light phase
(2019)Living organisms display internal biological rhythms, which are an evolutionarily conserved adaptation to the environment that drives their rhythmic behavioral and physiological activities. The gut microbiota has been ... -
Addressing the epistemic uncertainty in maritime accidents modelling using Bayesian network with interval probabilities
(2017)Bayesian Network (BN) is often criticized for demanding a large number of crisp/exact/precise conditional probability numbers which, due to the lack of statistics, have to be obtained through experts’ judgment. These exact ... -
Modelling multilevel interdependencies for resilience in complex organisation
(2019)This paper aims to model multilevel interdependencies in complex organisational systems and proposes application for resilience analysis. Most of the existing research studied interdependencies only at the single-level and ... -
The MapZ-mediated methylation of chemoreceptors contributes to pathogenicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(2019)The pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa is notorious for causing acute and chronic infections in humans. The ability to infect host by P. aeruginosa is dependent on a complex cellular signaling network, which ... -
Nanofibrous PLGA electrospun scaffolds modified with type I collagen influence hepatocyte function and support viability in vitro
(2018)A major challenge of maintaining primary hepatocytes in vitro is progressive loss of hepatocyte-specific functions, such as protein synthesis and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) catalytic activity. We developed a three-dimensional ...
