Depletion of lamins B1 and B2 promotes chromatin mobility and induces differential gene expression by a mesoscale-motion-dependent mechanism by Pujadas Liwag, Emily M., Wei, Xiaolong, Acosta, Nicolas, Carter, Lucas M., Yang, Jiekun, Almassalha, Luay M., Jain, Surbhi, Daneshkhah, Ali, Rao, Suhas S. P., Seker-Polat, Fidan, MacQuarrie, Kyle L., Ibarra, Joe, Agrawal, Vasundhara, Aiden, Erez Lieberman, Kanemaki, Masato T., Backman, Vadim, Adli, Mazhar

“…Conclusions Our findings suggest that, while B-type lamin degradation does not significantly change genome topology, it has major implications for three-dimensional chromatin conformation at the single-cell level both at the lamina-associated periphery and the non-LAD-associated nuclear interior with concomitant genome-wide transcriptional changes. …”

Rheo-PIV of yield-stress fluids in a 3D-printed fractal vane-in-cup geometry by Medina-Bañuelos, Esteban F., Marín-Santibáñez, Benjamín M., Chaparian, Emad, Owens, Crystal E., McKinley, Gareth H., Pérez-González, José

“…We describe the velocity distributions in all cases and show that the fVIC produces an almost axisymmetric flow field and rotation rate-independent “effective radius” when used with both the Newtonian fluid and the microgel. These findings are supported by 2D simulation results and enable the safe use of both the Couette analogy and the torque-to-stress conversion scheme for a 24-arm fVIC as well as validate it as a reliable rheometrical tool for characterization of a variety of complex fluids. …”

Dynamic Expansion and Merging of the Equatorial Ionization Anomaly During the 10–11 May 2024 Super Geomagnetic Storm by Aa, Ercha, Chen, Yanhong, Luo, Bingxian

“…The investigation utilizes multi-instrument datasets, including ground-based observations (GNSS TEC, ionosonde, and Fabry–Perot interferometer) as well as space-borne satellite measurements (GOLD, Swarm, DMSP, and TIMED). Our findings reveal significant day-to-day variations in the storm-time equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA), summarized as follows: (1) During the main phase of the storm, the low- and mid-latitude ionosphere experienced a positive storm, with TEC drastically enhanced by 50–100% within a few hours. …”

Nanostructured bimetallic sulfides as Na ion battery anodes by Chen, Jingwei

“…By combining ex-situ X-ray photoelectron microscopy and in-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy, the electrochemical mechanism of CMS1 was also studied, revealing the intercalation dominant electrochemical reaction in ether-electrolyte while conversion occurred in carbonate-based electrolyte. These findings provide insights on the governing factors that explain the structural-electrochemical performance interplay of the bimetallic sulfides.…”

A first-principles study on the adsorption of small molecules on antimonene : oxidation tendency and stability by Kistanov, Andrey A., Cai, Yongqing, Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Zhou, Kun, Dmitriev, Sergey V., Zhang, Yong-Wei

“…Although the surface oxidation layer may serve as an effective passivation layer, preventing further degradation of the underlying layers, our findings show that the antimonene layers still need to be separated or properly protected by other noncovalent functionalization from oxygen or other environmental molecules. …”

Modernity and functionality: relooking changes in Chinese vernacular education in Singapore, 1919-1941 by Ho, Amanda Shi Min

“…This thesis aims to reconstruct the history of modern Chinese schools in Singapore from 1919 to 1941, reexamining what has been covered thus far in both English and Chinese scholarship of the history of Chinese vernacular education in Singapore and synthesising the findings of both strands of scholarship. This thesis also aims to look beyond the study of political time markers to draw out the possible socio-cultural and economic factors that led to these changes.…”

Individual differences and relationship contexts in the perception and response to criticism: an emotion and family systems perspective by Neoh, Michelle Jin Yee

“…Parental bonding measures were also found to predict perceptions of parental criticism and spousal criticism, with results suggesting intergeneration continuity in perceptions of parental criticism in the study in Chapter 4. The findings from these studies in the thesis provide evidence and insight from multiple perspectives in illustrating differences in how criticism is perceived and responded to as a function of the interplay of individual factors and relational contexts that the criticism occurs in and how they influence one’s relationships, especially those in the family unit.…”
