Molecular Self‐Assembly Enables Tuning of Nanopores in Atomically Thin Graphene Membranes for Highly Selective Transport by Jang, Doojoon, Bakli, Chirodeep, Chakraborty, Suman, Karnik, Rohit

“…This improved membrane selectivity enables desalination across centimeter-scale nanoporous graphene with 99.7% and >90% rejection of MgSO4 and NaCl, respectively, under forward osmosis. These findings provide a versatile strategy to augment the performance of nanoporous atomically thin membranes and present intriguing possibilities of controlling reactions across 2D materials via exclusive exploitation of pore size-dependent intermolecular interactions.…”

On the geometry and refined rate of primal–dual hybrid gradient for linear programming by Lu, Haihao, Yang, Jinwen

“…We show that there are two major stages of PDHG for LP: in Stage I, PDHG identifies active variables and the length of the first stage is driven by a certain quantity which measures how close the non-degeneracy part of the LP instance is to degeneracy; in Stage II, PDHG effectively solves a homogeneous linear inequality system, and the complexity of the second stage is driven by a well-behaved local sharpness constant of the system. This finding is closely related to the concept of partial smoothness in non-smooth optimization, and it is the first complexity result of finite time identification without the non-degeneracy assumption. …”

The rickettsial effector Sca4 has a conserved interaction with host clathrin and a tick cell specific role in infection by Vondrak, Cassandra Joan

“…I investigated the role of this interaction in the tick arthropod vector and found that the Sca4-clathrin interaction is necessary for the efficient proliferation of R. parkeri in tick cells. These findings show that knowledge of the complete roles of rickettsial secreted effectors in both arthropod vector and mammalian hosts is needed to fully understand rickettsial pathogenesis.…”
