Recent investigations of semiconducting two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides have provided evidence for strong light absorption relative to its thickness attributed to high density of states. Stacking a combination of metallic, insulating, and semiconducting 2D materials enables functional devices with atomic thicknesses. While photovoltaic cells based on 2D materials have been...

Native α-crystallin [1], by far the most abundant protein found in the lens, is a hetero-oligomeric polydisperse complex about 700-800 kDa in size [2]. The oligomer is composed of about 35-40 noncovalent subunits in a 3:1 mixture of two highly homologous 20 kDa proteins, αA-crystallin and αB-crystallin, respectively. Tertiary structure is thought to be similar to that of other small heat shock ...

OBJECTIVES Given the burden associated with vehicle-related trauma, there is interest in time and cost effective methods of providing information to assist recovery. This systematic review aims to address the question: "Do targeted early information interventions improve outcomes following vehicle--related injuries for persons of working age?" DATA SOURCES Ovid Medline, EMBASE, PsychINFO and ...

disease can be distinguished from one another and from control human polymerases by their elution behavior upon diethylaminoethyl cellulose chromatography and Sephadex gel filtration, by the magnesium ion concentration for optimal activity, by the stimulatory or inhibitory effects upon enzymatic activity of monovalent cations, and by sensitivity of enzymatic activity to heparin inhibition. Thes...

Hetero-bilayers, composed of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers MoS2 (1L-MoS2) and 1L-WS2, are grown on Al2O3 substrates through sulfurization pre-deposited thin films. A very smooth surface morphology the uniform contact potential difference (CPD) maps show that high-quality homogeneous TMD layers obtained. The light-induced CPD change, is, photovoltage (SPV), samples is investig...

Recent studies have shown that G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can assemble as high molecular weight homo- and hetero-oligomeric complexes. This can result in altered receptor-ligand binding, signaling, or intracellular trafficking. We have co-transfected HEK-293 cells with differentially epitope-tagged GPCRs from different subfamilies and determined whether oligomeric complexes were formed...

The heteroaggregation of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) with natural colloids (NCs), which are ubiquitous in natural surface waters, is a crucial process affecting the environmental transport and fate of ENPs. Attachment efficiencies for heteroaggregation, α hetero, are required as input parameters in environmental fate models to predict ENP concentrations and contribute to ENP risk assessment...
