Nested PCR in magnetically actuated circular closed-loop PCR microchip system by Lok, Khoi Seng, Lee, Peter Peng Foo, Kwok, Yien Chian, Nguyen, Nam-Trung

“…We demonstrate a new and sensitive amplification technique (referred to as Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction; nPCR). It based on a magnetically actuated circular closed-loop PCR microchip system. nPCR involves the use of two sets of primers in two successive PCR runs, and allows the amplification of a single locus from a minute quantity of template DNA. …”

High thermoelectric performance enabled by convergence of nested conduction bands in Pb₇Bi₄Se₁₃ with low thermal conductivity by Hu, Lei, Fang, Yue-Wen, Qin, Feiyu, Cao, Xun, Zhao, Xiaoxu, Luo, Yubo, Repaka, Durga Venkata Maheswar, Luo, Wenbo, Suwardi, Ady, Soldi, Thomas, Aydemir, Umut, Huang, Yizhong, Liu, Zheng, Hippalgaonkar, Kedar, Snyder, G. Jeffrey, Xu, Jianwei, Yan, Qingyu

“…Such appealing performance is attributed to the convergence of effectively nested conduction bands, providing a high number of valley degeneracy, and a low thermal conductivity, stemming from large lattice anharmonicity, low-frequency localized Einstein modes and the coexistence of high-density moiré fringes and nanoscale defects. …”

Progressive dry-core-wet-rim hydration trend in a nested-ring topology of protein binding interfaces by Li, Zhenhua, He, Ying, Wong, Limsoon, Li, Jinyan

“…Results: In this work, we use a tripartite protein-water-protein interface model and a nested-ring atom re-organization method to detect hydration trends and patterns from an interface data set which involves immobilized interfacial water molecules. …”

Drivers of Bornean Orangutan distribution across a multiple-use tropical landscape by Milne, Sol, Martin, Julien G. A., Reynolds, Glen, Vairappan, Charles S., Slade, Eleanor M., Brodie, Jedediah F., Wich, Serge A., Williamson, Nicola, Burslem, David F. R. P.

“…Although the difference in nest counts was not significantly different, this analysis indicates that both methods under-sample the total number of nests present within a given area. …”

Dike channelization and solidification : time scale controls on the geometry and placement of magma migration pathways by Pansino, Stephen, Emadzadeh, Adel, Taisne, Benoit

“…Between these time scales, a transitional behavior exists, in which new dikes nest inside of previous dikes. The flux controls the distance a dike can propagate before solidifying, in that high fluxes favor continual propagation, whereas low fluxes favor dike arrest due to solidification. …”

Temporary prey storage along swarm columns of army ants: an adaptive strategy for successful raiding? by de Lima, Hilário Póvoas, Teseo, Serafino, de Lima, Raquel Leite Castro, Ferreira-Châline, Ronara Souza, Châline, Nicolas

“…Widely documented, these structures have historically been considered as by-products of heavy traffic or aborted relocations of the ants' temporary nest, or bivouac. However, we recently observed that caches of the hook-jawed army ant, Eciton hamatum, appeared independently from heavy traffic or bivouac relocations. …”

Cross-boundary subsidy cascades from oil palm degrade distant tropical forests by Luskin, Matthew Scott, Brashares, Justin S., Ickes, Kalan, Sun, I-Fang, Fletcher, Christine, Wright, S. Joseph, Potts, Matthew D.

“…We found (i) oil palm fruit drove 100-fold increases in crop-raiding native wild boar (Sus scrofa), (ii) wild boar used thousands of understory plants to construct birthing nests in the pristine forest interior, and (iii) nest building caused a 62% decline in forest tree sapling density over the 24-year study period. …”

Wildlife differentially affect tree and liana regeneration in a tropical forest : an 18-year study of experimental terrestrial defaunation versus artificially abundant herbivores by Luskin, Matthew Scott, Ickes, Kalan, Yao, Tze Leong, Davies, Stuart J.

“…Evidence of scaring on surviving stems suggested that these inverted outcomes were driven by selective use of tree saplings for wild pig nests. Lianas may also have greater tolerance to wildlife disturbances like nest building. …”
