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. …”

Optimizing targeted vaccination across cyber–physical networks: an empirically based mathematical simulation stud by Mones, Enys, Stopczynski, Arkadiusz, Pentland, Alex, Hupert, Nathaniel, Lehmann, Sune

“…Here, we study the digital communication activity of more than 500 individuals along with their person-to-person contacts at a 5-min temporal resolution. We then simulate different disease transmission scenarios on the person-to-person physical contact network to determine whether cyber communication networks can be harnessed to advance the goal of targeted vaccination for a disease spreading on the network of physical proximity. …”

Tuning the shear thickening of suspensions through surface roughness and physico-chemical interactions by Bourrianne, Philippe, Niggel, Vincent, Polly, Gatien, Divoux, Thibaut, McKinley, Gareth H.

Stability of internal gravity wave modes: from triad resonance to broadband instability by Akylas, T.R., Kakoutas, Christos
