A Proposed Framework of Unemployment and Youth Restiveness in the North-Eastern Nigeria: Exloring the Role of the “Almajiri” Culture by Abbo, Usman, Romle, Abd Rahim

“…More so as unemployment in Nigeria increase by 16% from 2011 to 2013 representing 39.9%, with youth unemployment representing 50% of this, where the north-eastern region continue to manifest the worst poverty rate compare to the other five geo-political zones couple with the existence of about 10 million “Almajiris” in the entire northern region which is much more than the total population of Sweden and the result of several investigation panels revealing the involvement of “Almajiri” in most of the violence occurring in the northern region from 1980 to 2010, where the vulnerability of the “Almajiri” due to abject poverty makes them a tool for unleashing violence by some unscrupulouselements. …”

Research on basic mechanical properties of different modulus alkaline excited ECC by Che, Jialing, Yang, Renze, Wang, Jun, Liu, Haifeng, Hu, Yun xiang, Doh, Shu Ing

“…The effect of the alkali activator modulus on the mechanical properties and microstructure of two types of fiber-reinforced engineering cementitious composites (alkali-excited ECC) with desert sand as fine aggregate was studied. The alkali activator was prepared by a certain proportion of NaOH and sodium silicate mixture, and the mechanical performance indexes were used for analysis, including compressive/tensile/flexural strength, Poisson's ratio and elastic modulus, flexural toughness ratio and energy performance index (PSH). …”

Molecular modulation of fluorene-dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide-based conjugated polymers for enhanced photoelectrochemical water oxidation under visible light by Dai, Chunhui, Gong, Xuezhong, Zhu, Xianglin, Xue, Can, Liu, Bin

“…Without the assistance of additional sacrificial agents or co-catalysts, a good photocurrent response of 4.1 μA cm−2 at +0.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) was achieved through facile molecular modulation of the polymer, which improved the uniformity and crystallinity of the film and facilitated charge transport among polymer chains. …”

A newly isolated organic solvent tolerant Bacillus sphaericus 205y producing organic solvent-stable lipase by Hun, Chin John, Raja Abd Rahman, Raja Noor Zaliha, Salleh, Abu Bakar, Basri, Mahiran

“…Four production media were tested and medium M3 yielded the highest lipase activity of 0.42 U ml-1 min-1 at 36 h incubation time. Stability studies in various organic solvents at 25% (v/v) showed that lipase from B. sphaericus 205y were not only stable but also activated by n-hexane and p-xylene by 3.5- and 2.9-folds, respectively. …”

Defects in β-cell Ca2+ dynamics in age-induced diabetes by Li, Luosheng, Trifunovic, Aleksandra, Köhler, Martin, Wang, Yixin, Petrovic Berglund, Jelena, Illies, Christopher, Juntti-Berggren, Lisa, Larsson, Nils-Göran, Berggren, Per-Olof

“…We show that these changes are likely to be accounted for by impaired mitochondrial function and to involve phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate–mediated Ca2+ mobilization from intracellular stores as well as decreased β-cell Ca2+ influx over the plasma membrane. …”

Electronic structure of graphene– and BN–supported phosphorene by Kistanov, Andrey A., Saadatmand, Danial, Dmitriev, Sergey V., Zhou, Kun, Korznikova, Elena A., Davletshin, Artur R., Ustiuzhanina, Svetlana V.

“…Graphene–supported phosphorene is found to be metallic, while the BN–supported phosphorene is a semiconductor with a moderate band gap of 1.02 eV. Furthermore, the effects of the van der Waals interactions between the phosphorene and graphene or BN layers by means of the interlayer distance change are investigated. …”

Synthesis of hierarchical 4H/fcc Ru nanotubes for highly efficient hydrogen evolution in alkaline media by Lu, Qipeng, Wang, An-Liang, Cheng, Hongfei, Gong, Yue, Yun, Qinbai, Yang, Nailiang, Li, Bing, Chen, Bo, Zhang, Qinghua, Zong, Yun, Gu, Lin, Zhang, Hua

“…The obtained hierarchical 4H/fcc Ru NTs contain ultrathin Ru shells (5-9 atomic layers) and tiny Ru nanorods with length of 4.2 ± 1.1 nm and diameter of 2.2 ± 0.5 nm vertically decorated on the surface of Ru shells. …”

The enhancer RNA ARIEL activates the oncogenic transcriptional program in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by Tan, Shi Hao, Leong, Wei Zhong, Ngoc, Phuong Cao Thi, Tan, Tze King, Bertulfo, Fatima Carla, Lim, Mei Chee, An, Omer, Li, Zhenhua, Yeoh, Allen Eng Juh, Tenen, Daniel G., Sanda, Takaomi, Fullwood, Melissa Jane

“…We demonstrated that ARIEL is specifically activated in TAL1+ T-ALL cases, and its expression is associated with ARID5B enhancer activity. ARIEL recruits mediator proteins to the ARID5B enhancer, promotes enhancer-promoter interactions, and activates the expression of ARID5B, thereby positively regulating the TAL1-induced transcriptional program and the MYC oncogene. …”

Measuring the hole-state anisotropy in MgB2 by electron energy-loss spectroscopy by Klie, Robert F., Su, Haibin, Zhu, Yimei, Davenport, James W., Idrobo, Juan-Carlos, Browning, Nigel D., Nellist, Peter D.

“…In particular, we have studied two different crystal orientations, [110] and [001], with respect to the incident electron beam direction, and found significant changes in the near-edge fine structure of the B K-edge. Density-functional theory suggests that the pre-peak of the B K-edge core loss is composed of a mixture of pxy- and pz-hole states and we will show that these contributions can be distinguished only with an experimental energy resolution better than 0.5 eV. …”
