Genetics of female and male reproductive traits and their relationship with health, longevity and consequences for offspring by Benonisdottir, S, Straub, VJ, Kong, A, Mills, MC

“…Using the GWAS Catalog as a basis, from 159 relevant studies, we isolate 37 genes that harbor association signals for four or more reproductive traits, more than half of which are linked to rare Mendelian disorders, including ten genes linked to reproductive-related disorders: <em>FSHB</em>, <em>MCM8</em>, <em>DNAH2</em>, <em>WNT4</em>, <em>ESR1</em>, <em>IGSF1</em>, <em>THRB</em>, <em>BRWD1</em>, <em>CYP19A1</em> and <em>PTPRF</em>. …”

The burden of consciousness : object animism in children's literature by Yam, Hui Qing

“…Animals, plants and objects are often anthropomorphized to delightful effect in children’s literature while adult depictions of the inanimate coming alive almost always occur in the genres of science fiction and horror and have had a much less positive spin. This essay argues that these negative evocations do indeed spill over into children’s texts, manifesting in the common motifs that appear in stories involving object animism, and that enlivened objects are furthermore, representations of Julia Kristeva’s concept of abjection.…”

NMR structure and localization of the host defense antimicrobial peptide thanatin in zwitterionic dodecylphosphocholine micelle : implications in antimicrobial activity by Sinha, Sheetal, Ng, Wun Jern, Bhattacharjya, Surajit

“…The depth of insertion of thanatin into micelle structure was investigated by spin labelled doxyl lipids, 5-DSA and 16-DSA. DPC-bound structure of thanatin is defined by a -hairpin structure and an extended and turn conformations, for residues G1-I8, at the N-terminus. …”

The effects of processing conditions on the morphology of single conjugated polymers. by Yeo, Hui Lin.

“…The photoluminescent lifetime of spun-cast single regioregular poly (3-hexylthiophene) (RR P3HT) was found to be significantly larger (2 – 3.5ns) than that of drop-cast chains and that in solution (<0.5ns), which likely implies a chain conformational dependence on the processing method used. …”

Valley-optical absorption in planar transition metal dichalcogenide superlattices by Hashemi, R., Shojaei, S., Rezaei, B., Liu, Zheng

“…By calculating the effective mass for different bands and using the Drude-Lorentz model, our approach is able to determine the oscillator strength and the effective refractive index of the structure. We found that the spin-orbit coupling has important effect on the absorption coefficient and energy bands where it reduces the absorption coefficient of the structure from typical value of [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text], also the valence band experiences a significant blue shift, while the conduction band shows minor changes due to spin orbit coupling. …”
