PMID: 24955108
Plant Methods. 2014 Jun 14;10:18. doi: 10.1186/1746-4811-10-18. eCollection 2014.

BACKGROUND: DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark that controls genome stability, development and environmental responses in many eukaryotes. DNA methylation can be guided by non-coding RNAs that include small interfering RNAs and scaffold RNAs. Although measurement of DNA...

We report a first-order like sharp surface wettability transition with varying film thickness dependent morphology in cast films of an amphiphilic triblock copolymer. Films composed of poly(2-(N-ethylperfluorooctanesulfonamido) ethyl methyl acrylate), poly(FOSM), and poly(N,N'-dimethyl acrylamide), poly(DMA), with thickness (h) in...

Photoelectron velocity-map imaging and theoretical studies of heteronuclear metal carbonyls MNi(CO)3(-) (M = Mg, Ca, Al).

The Journal of chemical physics

The heteronuclear metal carbonyl anions MNi(CO)3(-) (M = Mg, Ca, Al) have been investigated using photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy. Electron affinities of neutral MNi(CO)3 (M = Mg, Ca, Al) are measured from the photoelectron spectra to be 1.064 ±...

Enhancement of superconductivity under pressure and the magnetic phase diagram of tantalum disulfide single crystals.

Scientific reports

Abdel-Hafiez M, Zhao XM, Kordyuk AA, Fang YW, Pan B, He Z, Duan CG, Zhao J, Chen XJ.
PMID: 27534898
Sci Rep. 2016 Aug 18;6:31824. doi: 10.1038/srep31824.

In low-dimensional electron systems, charge density waves (CDW) and superconductivity are two of the most fundamental collective quantum phenomena. For all known quasi-two-dimensional superconductors, the origin and exact boundary of the electronic orderings and superconductivity are still attractive problems....
