An epigenetic analysis of planarian stem cells by Dattani, A

“…</p> <p>Firstly, we describe an expression-based annotation of the asexual <em>Schmidtea mediterranea</em> genome. For each annotated locus, we allocate proportional values for a gene’s expression in either S/G2/M NBs (X1), G1 NBs + post-mitotic progeny (X2), or differentiated cells (Xins) – the three broadly-defined cellular compartments that can be isolated from planarians using Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). …”

Nanoscale Origins of Thermal Transport Phenomena for Hybrid Layered Perovskites by Dahod, Nabeel S.

“…This probe identifies the persistence of bulk-like phonons even in the atomically thin 2D LHPs, in addition to identifying coherent acoustic phonons in lead iodide 2D LHPs potentially capable of carrying thermal energy across the organic-inorganic interfaces without scattering. Each of the observations made throughout this dissertation suggest the thermophysical representation of 2D LHPs as composite materials is a useful framework for understanding their thermal transport properties. …”
