The expression of a Balbiani ring 1 gene that codes for a salivary gland-specific 180-kD secretory polypeptide (sp180) is regulated developmentally. Immunoblots of salivary gland protein incubated with an affinity-purified nonapeptide-reactive antibody demonstrated that the salivary gland content of sp180 increases as much as 10-fold between stages 8 and 10 of the fourth larval instar. Hybridiz...

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are attractive for gene delivery-based therapeutics, but data from recent clinical trials have indicated that AAV capsids induce a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response that eliminates transduced cells. In this study, we used traditional pharmacological agents and AAV mutants to elucidate the pathway of capsid cross-presentation in AAV-permissive cells. Endo...

The seismic-resistant structure is required for the earthquake-hazard area. One of systems Concentrically Braced Frame (CBF), which was established to diminish seismic damage. At time implementation, CBF reduces horizontal deformations building so that failure as well heavy damage can be avoided. In CBF, brace energy dissipator, whose performance needs enhanced. This study discussed structural ...

The discovery of new 3D perovskites and their 2D 1D analogues continues to attract the interest scientific community therefore understanding structural, optical, physicochemical properties is fundamental importance. Here, we report one-pot synthesis full characterization lead halide polycrystalline solids containing rather rigid 1,4-xylylenediammonium (pXDA) organic cation as spacer. We isolate...

Sensitive and fast detection of neutrons gamma rays is vital for homeland security, high-energy physics, proton therapy. Fast-neutron detectors rely on light organic scintillators, γ-ray use heavy inorganic scintillators semiconductors. Efficient mixed-field using a single material highly challenging due to their contradictory requirements. Here we report hybrid perovskites (C8H12N)2Pb(Br1−xClx...
