Substrate and Excitation Intensity Dependence of Saturable Absorption in Perovskite Quantum Dot Films
(2023-02-26)Saturable absorption in perovskite quantum dot (PQD) films, leading to saturation in photoluminescence (PL), is reported. PL of drop-casting films was used to probe how excitation intensity and host–substrate influence the ... -
Conserved Transcriptome Features Define Prepubertal Primate Spermatogonial Stem Cells as Adark Spermatogonia and Identify Unique Regulators
(2023-03-01)Antineoplastic treatments for cancer and other non-malignant disorders can result in long-term or permanent male infertility by ablating spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). SSC transplantation using testicular tissue harvested ... -
Polyphenols with Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Synthesis and Biological Activity of Novel Curcumin Derivatives
(2023-02-12)Herein, we describe the synthesis and evaluation of anti-inflammatory activities of new curcumin derivatives. The thirteen curcumin derivatives were synthesized by Steglich esterification on one or both of the phenolic ... -
Synthesis of Er3+:YAG Nanocrystals and Comparative Spectroscopic Analysis with Bulk Counterparts
(2023-01-19)Single-crystal Er3+:YAG has long been used as a laser material, and recent work has shown polycrystalline ceramic Er3+:YAG to be a suitable laser material, with benefits of lower cost and easier production. However, ... -
A Network-Based Approach for Improving Annotation of Transcription Factor Functions and Binding Sites in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2023-01-21)Transcription factors are an integral component of the cellular machinery responsible for regulating many biological processes, and they recognize distinct DNA sequence patterns as well as internal/external signals to ... -
Tracing Hot Spot Motion in Sagittarius A* Using the Next-Generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT)
(2023-01-29)We propose the tracing of the motion of a shearing hot spot near the Sgr A* source through a dynamical image reconstruction algorithm, StarWarps. Such a hot spot may form as the exhaust of magnetic reconnection in a current ... -
Probing Plasma Composition with the Next Generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT)
(2023-01-10)We explore the plasma matter content in the innermost accretion disk/jet in M87* as relevant for an enthusiastic search for the signatures of anti-matter in the next generation of the Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT). We ... -
Emission Modeling in the EHT–ngEHT Age
(2022-12-23)This work proposes a methodology for testing phenomenologically motivated emission processes that account for the flux and polarization distribution and global structure of the 230 GHz sources imaged by the Event Horizon ... -
Analysis of Water Resource Carrying Capacity and Obstacle Factors Based on GRA-TOPSIS Evaluation Method in Manas River Basin
(2023-01-05)The investigation of water resource carrying capacity (WRCC) in oasis cities in Northwest China is useful for guiding the sustainable development of arid regions. To quantify the WRCC of Shihezi, an oasis city in the Manas ... -
Can Hierarchical Transformers Learn Facial Geometry?
(2023-01-13)Human faces are a core part of our identity and expression, and thus, understanding facial geometry is key to capturing this information. Automated systems that seek to make use of this information must have a way of ... -
A Customized Monkeypox Virus Genomic Database (MPXV DB v1.0) for Rapid Sequence Analysis and Phylogenomic Discoveries in CLC Microbial Genomics
(2022-12-22)Monkeypox has been a neglected, zoonotic tropical disease for over 50 years. Since the 2022 global outbreak, hundreds of human clinical samples have been subjected to next-generation sequencing (NGS) worldwide with raw ... -
Natural Product Co-Metabolism and the Microbiota–Gut–Brain Axis in Age-Related Diseases
(2022-12-23)Complementary alternative medicine approaches are growing treatments of diseases to standard medicine practice. Many of these concepts are being adopted into standard practice and orthomolecular medicine. Age-related ... -
Advocating for Coccidioidomycosis to Be a Reportable Disease Nationwide in the United States and Encouraging Disease Surveillance across North and South America
(2023-01-05)Coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever) has been a known health threat in the United States (US) since the 1930s, though not all states are currently required to report disease cases. Texas, one of the non-reporting states, is ... -
Deep Learning Approach for SDN-Enabled Intrusion Detection System in IoT Networks
(2023-01-09)Owing to the prevalence of the Internet of things (IoT) devices connected to the Internet, the number of IoT-based attacks has been growing yearly. The existing solutions may not effectively mitigate IoT attacks. In ... -
A Multimodal Appraisal of Zaha Hadid's Glasgow Riverside Museum—Criticism, Performance Evaluation, and Habitability
(2023-01-09)High-profile projects promoted by governments, local municipalities, and the media do not always meet program requirements or user expectations. The Riverside Museum in Glasgow by Zaha Hadid Architects, which has generated ... -
Boundary-Value Problem for Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations of Variable Order with Finite Delay via Kuratowski Measure of Noncompactness
(2023-01-12)This paper is devoted to boundary-value problems for Riemann–Liouville-type fractional differential equations of variable order involving finite delays. The existence of solutions is first studied using a Darbo's fixed-point ... -
Algorithmic Design of Geometric Data for Molecular Potential Energy Surfaces
(2022-12-21)A code MolecGeom, based on algorithms for stepwise distortions of bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles of polyatomic molecules, is presented. Potential energy surfaces (PESs) are curated in terms of the energy for ... -
Enhancing UML Connectors with Behavioral ALF Specifications for Exogenous Coordination of Software Components
(2023-01-03)Connectors are powerful architectural elements that allow the specification of interactions between software components. Since the connectors do not include behavior in UML, the components include the behavior for coordinating ... -
