One of the most extraordinary developments in molecular biology in the last quarter century has been the growing understanding of the role of small RNA molecules. Originally described as oddities of petunia plants, these noncoding RNAs, mostly 21 to 24 nucleotides long, are now recognized to be ubiquitous in the cells of both plants and animals, as well as many fungi, where they trigger destruc...

Mutation testing is a powerful fault-based testing technique that makes syntactic changes to a program under test in order to simulate real faults otherwise caused by a programmer. Similar to structural coverage criteria such as statement coverage, mutation testing is used to assess the quality of a test suite. After a syntactic change has been made, the program is referred to as a mutant that ...

The advent of non-fullerene acceptors has enabled organic solar cells to reach power conversion efficiencies that were previously thought unreachable. However, in a recent Nature Materials article, Karuthedath and colleagues show the electrostatic environment at interface might put limit how much further they can be improved. To maximize solar-to-electric efficiency heterojunctions, we need des...

introduction adequate nutrition is one of the critical factors in ensuring the health of individuals, families and communities. food is one of the basic needs of human beings. rural people produce meat, fruits, vegetables and other food materials. however, there is no evidence that they have a good nutrition regime. in iran, grains, oils and fats, vegetables and fruits are consumed more than ot...

An epidemic caused by an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in China December 2019 has since rapidly spread internationally, requiring urgent response from the clinical diagnostics community. We present a detailed overview validation and implementation first laboratory-developed real-time RT-PCR test offered NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital system following Em...

The integration of renewable generation and the electrification heating transportation are critical for sustainable energy transition toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. These changes require large-scale adoption distributed resources (DERs). Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading has gained attention as a new approach incentivizing uptake coordination DERs, with advantages computational scalability,...
