Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells (2019)
Journal Article
Surface plasmons (SPs) are surface charge density oscillations occuring at a metal/dieletric interface and are highly sensitive to refractive index variations adjacent to the surface. This sensitivity has been exploited successfully for chemical and... Read More about Surface plasmon resonance imaging of excitable cells.
Expression of Lamin A/C in early-stage breast cancer and its prognostic value (2019)
Journal Article
Purpose: Lamins A/C, a major component of the nuclear lamina, plays key roles in maintaining nuclear integrity, regulation of gene expression, cell proliferation and apoptosis. Reduced lamin A/C expression in cancer has been reported to be a sign of... Read More about Expression of Lamin A/C in early-stage breast cancer and its prognostic value.
Arabidopsis bioinformatics resources: the current state, challenges, and priorities for the future (2019)
Journal Article
Effective research, education, and outreach efforts by the Arabidopsis thaliana community, as well as other scientific communities that depend on Arabidopsis resources, depend vitally on easily available and publicly-shared resources. These resources... Read More about Arabidopsis bioinformatics resources: the current state, challenges, and priorities for the future.
How do midwives facilitate women to give birth during physiological second stage of labour? A protocol for a systematic review (2019)
Journal Article
Background Midwives’ practices during the second stage of labour vary nationally and internationally. We aim to retrieve evidence that supports high-quality intrapartum care by conducting a systematic review of the literature. Methods Electronic...

Deep p-Ring Trench Termination: An Innovative and Cost-Effective Way to Reduce Silicon Area (2019)
Journal Article
© 1980-2012 IEEE. A new type of high-voltage termination, namely the 'deep p-ring trench' termination design for high-voltage, high-power devices, is presented and extensively simulated. Termination of such devices consumes a large proportion of the... Read More about Deep p-Ring Trench Termination: An Innovative and Cost-Effective Way to Reduce Silicon Area.
The Influence of Winding Location in Flux-Switching Permanent-Magnet Machines (2019)
Journal Article
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of winding location on back electromotive force (EMF) and armature inductance in flux-switching permanent-magnet (FSPM) machines. To obtain an analytical solution, a double-stator-pitch m... Read More about The Influence of Winding Location in Flux-Switching Permanent-Magnet Machines.
Sensory-Guided Analysis of Key Taste-Active Compounds in Pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus) (2019)
Journal Article
To investigate key taste-active components in Takifugu obscurus, 28 putative taste compounds in cooked muscle of T. obscurus were quantitatively analyzed and the pivotal components were identified by taste reconstitution, omission, and addition tests...
