TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PROLIFERATING CELL FACTOR4 Interacts with WRINKLED1 to mediate seed oil biosynthesis by Kong, Que, Singh, Sanjay K., Mantyla, Jenny J., Pattanaik, Sitakanta, Guo, Liang, Yuan, Ling, Benning, Christoph, Ma, Wei

“…In addition, TCP4 repressed the AtWRI1-mediated transactivation of the promoters of fatty acid biosynthetic genes. Collectively, our findings suggest that TCP4 represses fatty acid biosynthetic gene expression through interaction with AtWRI1, leading to a reduction of AtWRI1-mediated seed oil accumulation.…”

Three essays on behavioral and experimental economics by Li, Yupeng

“…We explain this difference on the basis of the Singaporean senders’ beliefs about trustworthiness: they believed that people with a Mainland Chinese accent would return more money to them than their in-group Singaporean counterparts. To bolster our findings, we confirmed in a separate experiment that the difference in response to the accents was not due to the speed of speech or vocal pitch. …”

Prediction of stable perovskite quantum dots (QDs) using machine learning (ML) algorithms by Cheong, Ivan

“…Falling back to literature of known understanding of the photoluminescence property, suggested that the nanocrystal’s surface ligands interface has a substantial impact on optical properties. Hence finding a method to incorporate the string data type of synthesis methods and passivation agents to machine learning models who typically prefer numerical data types could improve the prediction abilities.…”

Direct and indirect effects of fire on microbial communities in a pyrodiverse dry-sclerophyll forest by Bowd, Elle J., Egidi, Eleonora, Lindenmayer, David B., Wardle, David A., Kardol, Paul, Cary, Geoffrey J., Foster, Claire

“…Pathogenic fungi also increased in recently burnt forests that had a low fire frequency, mediated by a decline in litter carbon and an increase in soil pH in these sites. Synthesis. Our findings indicate that predicted increases in the frequency of fire may select for specific microbial communities directly and indirectly through ecological interactions, which may have functional implications for plants (increase in pathogens, decrease in symbionts), decomposition rates (declines in Actinobacteriota and Acidobacteriota) and carbon storage (decrease in ectomycorrhizal fungi). …”

Improved mobility and photovoltaic performance of two-dimensional Ruddlesden−Popper (ThMA)₂(MA)₂M₃I₁₀ perovskites applied in perovskite solar cells by Sun, Ping-Ping, Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Chi, Weijie

“…Nevertheless, (ThMA)2(MA)2Cu3I10 was predicted to have the highest PCE of 22.97%, featuring itself as a potential photo–absorber candidate for photovoltaic applications. The findings reported herein not only achieve our goal in designing highly efficient and environmentally-friendly 2DRP perovskites, but also shed light on new strategies for advancing their applications in optoelectronic.…”

You must be myths-taken: examining belief in falsehoods during the COVID-19 health crisis by Lwin, May Oo, Sheldenkar, Anita, Tng, Pei Ling

“…However, belief in myths varied across population demographics, with ethnic minorities (Indians and Malays), females, young adults and those with lower education levels being more susceptible to myths than their counterparts (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that current debunking efforts are insufficient to effectively counter misinformation beliefs during health crises. …”

Application and control for virtual synchronous generators by Guo, Yian

“…Critical attributes such as the frequency-power droop characteristic, inertia response, and the generator's capability to support the grid frequency were closely examined. The findings from these simulation exercises provide compelling evidence of the VSG's value in maintaining grid stability, offering a promising solution to the challenges posed by the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid. …”

Surface reconstruction on spinel oxides for oxygen evolution reaction by Luo, Songzhu

“…In the end, this thesis elucidates the impact of different electrochemical conditioning methods, namely CV and chronopotentiometry (CP), on surface reconstruction and resulting OER performance of CoFe0.25Cr1.75O4. Notably, the findings differ from prior reports on Ni-based OER catalysts, highlighting that CP conditioning potentially fosters a superior degree of surface reconstruction, thereby augmenting performance. …”

NMR structure and activity relationship of defensin-analogous peptides by Bai, Yang

“…Despite inducing rapid aggregation of outer membrane lipopolysaccharides, AMPs remain highly mobile in the aggregated lattice. These findings suggest that AMPs possessing both enhanced mobility in the bacterial outer membrane and spatial structure facilitating its interactions with the membrane-water interface may provide excellent structural motifs for developing broad-spectrum new antimicrobials. …”

Synthesis and electrochemical performance of aluminum antimonide alloy anode prepared by melt spinning by Kharistal, Daniel Julian

“…The breakdown of AlSb phase into individual Al and Sb particles has led to cracking and loss of electrode contact due to the large volume expansion created by Al and Sb phase reaction with lithium during cycling process. The discussed findings highlights the advantages of the melt spun Al-Sb alloys as anode and the possibilities for further development of this material as a potential candidate for the next generation of anode material for lithium ion batteries with superior electrochemical properties.…”
