Identification of a novel mitochondria-localized LKB1 variant required for the regulation of the oxidative stress response by Tan, Ivan, Xu, Shengli, Huo, Jianxin, Huang, Yuhan, Lim, Hong-Hwa, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…We show that this mitochondria-localized LKB1 (mLKB1) is generated from alternative splicing in the 5' region of the transcript and translated from an alternative initiation codon encoded by a previously unknown exon 1b (131 bp) hidden within the long intron 1 of LKB1 gene. We found by replacing the N-terminal NLS of the canonical LKB1 isoform, the N-terminus of the alternatively spliced mLKB1 variant encodes a mitochondrial transit peptide that allows it to localize to the mitochondria. …”

Dynamical and statistical properties of anyons in fractional quantum hall effect by Ha, Quang Trung

“…For example, while the Laughlin state is the model state at filling factor n + 1/3 (where n is some integer), when the effective electron-electron interaction is more long-ranged, the quasiholes of a Gaffnian state may be excited and become the better degree of freedom to describe physics in the same filling factor. …”

Essays on oil price fluctuations, financial markets and international trade by Le, Thai Ha

“…The third essay aims to examine whether a large part of the variability of trade balances and their oil and non-oil components is associated with oil price fluctuations. The long-run causality running from oil price to overall, oil and non-oil trade balances and their short-run dynamics are investigated by applying the Toda-Yamamoto’s 1995 (TY) causality approach and generalized impulse response functions (IRFs), respectively to the monthly data spanning from January 1999 to November 2011. …”
