Unravelling giant molecular clouds by Liang, F

“…<p>Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) provide the fuel for star formation and bear various feedbacks. Thus, they are key to our understanding of galaxy evolution and the baryon cycle. …”

Mechanics in dehydration-induced leaf morphing behaviors by Guo, Kexin

“…As the leaf naturally detaches and dries, the leaf lamina shrinks more than the stiff midrib, resulting in in-plane strain mismatch between the mesophyll tissues and the midrib. For thin-sheet materials like plant leaves, uniform uniaxial stretching of the sheet leads to wrinkling, a phenomenon that has been extensively studied analytically and numerically. …”

Structural characterization of the full-length Hantaan virus polymerase by Keown, JR, Carrique, L, Nilsson-Payant, BE, Fodor, E, Grimes, JM

“…We observe motif E in four distinct conformations including β-sheet, two helical arrangements, and nucleotide primed arrangement. …”

Three essays on corporate finance by Fu, Kangkang

“…Moreover, from the principal customers’ perspective, a higher level of environmental risk lowers a supplier firm’s probability of being selected relative to its industry peers by its potential customer. Conditional on an ongoing relationship with principal customers, supplier firms with high environmental risk have lower sales to principal customers and shorter relationship durations. …”

A secret of high-rate mass transfer in anammox granular sludge : "lung-like breathing" by Xu, Dongdong, Kang, Da, Yu, Tao, Ding, Aqiang, Lin, Qiujian, Zhang, Meng, Hu, Qianyi, Zheng, Ping

“…The AnGS cultivated in a bioreactor with higher nitrogen removal rate (NRR) was found to have the higher ExCA and ExCF when determinated at the same BLR, and the “lung-like breathing” behavior of one type of AnGS was revealed to bear a significantly (p < 0.05) positive correlation with the specific anammox activity (SAA). …”
