Design and growth of high-power gallium nitride light-emitting diodes by Zhang, Zihui

“…The current crowding in the InGaN/GaN LEDs due to the low p-type conductivity is another challenge for achieving high-efficiency LEDs.In this dissertation, we have proposed a solution for current spreading enhancement by embedding a thin weakly doped n-GaN layer into the p-GaN layer.Such that, the p-GaN/n-GaN/p-GaN (PNP-GaN) current spreading layer is formed. …”

Investigation of charge transport in nanofiber based solar cells by Sabba Dharani

“…On account of the perovskite crystal quality affecting the solar cell performance, significance of porous network of the nanofibers on the percolation of perovskite was demonstrated with respect to a thin perovskite layer. Thus in this thesis, significance of as-spun nanofibrous photoanodes in DSCs as well as in emerging novel photovoltaic systems was investigated in terms of processability, light harvesting efficiency and electron dynamics. …”

Northern gene flow into southeastern East Asians inferred from genome-wide array genotyping by He, Guang-Lin, Li, Ying-Xiang, Zou, Xing, Yeh, Hui-Yuan, Tang, Ren-Kuan, Wang, Pei-Xin, Bai, Jing-Ya, Yang, Xiao-Min, Wang, Zheng, Guo, Jian-Xin, Chen, Jin-Wen, Chen, Jing, Yang, Mei-Qing, Zhao, Jing, Sun, Jin, Zhu, Kong-Yang, Ma, Hao, Wang, Rui, Yang, Wen-Jiao, Hu, Rong, Wei, Lan-Hai, Hou, Yi-Ping, Wang, Meng-Ge, Chen, Gang, Wang, Chuan-Chao

“…The southeastern Han Chinese could be modeled with the primary ancestry deriving from the group related to the Yellow River Basin millet farmers and the remaining from groups related to rice farmers, which was consistent with the northern China origin of modern southeastern Han Chinese and in line with the historically and archaeologically attested southward migrations of Han people and their ancestors. …”

Signalling inhibition by ponatinib disrupts productive alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) by Kusuma, Frances Karla, Prabhu, Aishvaryaa, Tieo, Galen, Syed Moiz Ahmed, Dakle, Pushkar, Yong, Wai Khang, Pathak, Elina, Madan, Vikas, Jiang, Yan Yi, Tam, Wai Leong, Kappei, Dennis, Dröge, Peter, Koeffler, H. Phillip, Jeitany, Maya

“…By performing anti-cancer compound library screen on isogenic cell lines and using extrachromosomal telomeric C-circles, as a bona fide marker of ALT activity, we identify a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib that deregulates ALT mechanisms, induces telomeric dysfunction, reduced ALT-associated telomere synthesis, and targets, in vivo, ALT-positive cells. …”
