Characterization of nickel-titanium based thin films crystallized by fast and ultra-fast annealing methods by Motemani Sharabiani, Yahya

“…Consequently, understanding the nature of the annealing process is critical for microstructural control and optimization of MEMS actuators. The first part of the study is concerned with describing and correlating the evolution of structural, surfacial and nano-scale mechanical properties of amorphous Ti-Ni-Cu thin films crystallized by rapid thermal annealing (RTA), where the treatment takes place under a protected atmosphere by electromagnetic irradiation with fast heating rate (< 100 oC/sec). …”

The yeast FIT2 homologs are necessary to maintain cellular proteostasis and membrane lipid homeostasis by Yap, Wei Sheng, Shyu Jr., Peter, Gaspar, Maria Laura, Jesch, Stephen A., Marvalim, Charlie, Prinz, William A., Henry, Susan A., Thibault, Guillaume

“…While LD biogenesis and basal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced unfolded protein response (UPR) remain unaltered in ScFIT mutants, SCS3 was found to be essential for proper stress-induced UPR activation and for viability in the absence of the sole yeast UPR transducer IRE1 Owing to not having a functional UPR, cells with mutated SCS3 exhibited an accumulation of triacylglycerol within the ER along with aberrant LD morphology, suggesting that there is a UPR-dependent compensatory mechanism that acts to mitigate lack of SCS3 Additionally, SCS3 was necessary to maintain phospholipid homeostasis. …”

Genetic, genomic and systems biology analysis of adaptive evolution of budding yeast to the deletion of essential genes by Liu, Gaowen
