Unveiling the importance of controllable growth of c-axis oriented Sn-doped ZnO nanorod arrays: Towards humidity sensing applications by Ahmad Syakirin, Ismail @ Rosdi, Mohamad Hafiz, Mamat, Ruziana, Mohamed, Embong, Z., Kossar, Shahnaz

“…Morphology images taken using a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) demonstrated an enlargement of the average diameter of the nanorod arrays from 55 nm at 5 min immersion to 122 nm at 200 min immersion. The cross-sectional and surface elemental analysis showed that the sample immersed for 60 min has the highest detection of Sn, with a bulk concentration of 1.8 at.% and surface concentration of 1 at.%. …”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”

Negative auto-regulation of myostatin expression is mediated by SMAD3 and microRNA-27 by Ge, XiaoJia, McFarlane, Craig, Vajjala, Anuradha, Arigela, Harikumar, Lokireddy, Sudarsanareddy, Bonala, Sabeera, Manickam, Ravikumar, Kambadur, Ravi, Sharma, Mridula

“…Sequence analysis of Mstn 3′ UTR showed a single highly conserved miR-27a/b binding site and increased expression of miR-27a/b was correlated with decreased expression of Mstn and vice versa both in vitro and in mice in vivo. Moreover, we also show that Mstn gene expression was regulated by miR-27a/b. …”
