Author(s): Song, Z; Sun, X; Wang, LW | Abstract: Twisted bilayers of van der Waals materials have recently attracted great attention due to their tunable, strongly correlated phenomena. Here, we investigate the chirality-specific physics in three-dimensional moire superlattices induced by Eshelby twist. Our direct density functional theory calculations reveal helical rotation leads optical circ...

RNA interference has been described as a powerful genetic tool for gene functional analysis and a promising approach for pest management. However, RNAi efficiency varies significantly among insect species due to distinct RNAi machineries. Lepidopteran insects include a large number of pests as well as model insects, such as the silkworm, Bombyx mori. However, only limited success of in vivo RNA...

s | 43 (sleep) and molecular mechanisms involved in contextual processing deficits. Methods The evolution of functional neuroimaging studies from early studies of responses to emotional probes to recent multi-day studies of fear conditioning, extinction, renewal, and of intrinsic connectivity networks, will be discussed and novel finding presented. Parallel findings from studies using Single Pr...

Hierarchical nanostructures of lead sulfide nanowires resembling pine trees were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. Structural characterization revealed a screwlike dislocation in the nanowire trunks with helically rotating epitaxial branch nanowires. It is suggested that the screw component of an axial dislocation provides the self-perpetuating steps to enable one-dimensional crystal gr...

1. ABSTRACT X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements have been made to determine residual stresses in embedded Al particles placed between the first and second ply of both unidirectional and fabric graphite/PMR-15 composite specimens. In order to further verify the results obtained, the effect of externally applied four-point bending on the measured strains and stresses in the Al inclusions was inv...

in mulberry orchards in northern part of iran, thrips is a dominant pest and causing a lot of damage to the mulberry. the effect of pest on bio-chemical parameters of mulberry leaf of two varieties viz. kenmochi and ichenoise and also the effect of feeding of infested leaves on rearing performances have been studied. for the study, six plots of 200 m2 area of both the varieties were selected an...

BACKGROUND Different grading systems of arterial recanalisation have never been compared in large series of stroke patients treated with intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT). METHODS Clinical and angiographic findings and outcome were analysed in 147 patients with M1 or M2 segment occlusion of the middle cerebral artery treated with IAT. Associations of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction ...
