Optical study of excitonic complexes in transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers by Bao, Di

“…By examining the valley Zeeman splitting of different excitonic features of the hBN-encapsulated WS2 and MoS2 monolayers, information regarding the band configuration and valley magnetic moment of the electrons and holes that form the excitonic states is revealed. Our findings presented in this thesis gain critical insights into the excitonic structures and many-body physics, leading towards a complete understanding of optical and electronic properties of TMDs monolayers.…”

Strong edge stress in molecularly thin organic-inorganic hybrid ruddlesden-popper perovskites and modulations of their edge electronic properties by Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Cai, Yongqing, Lou, Jun, Zhou, Kun

“…Moreover, the desorption energy of the organic molecule can also be much lower at the free edges, making it easier for functionalization and/or substitution events to take place. The findings reported in this work elucidate the underlying mechanisms responsible for edge states in HRPPs and will be important in guiding the rational design and development of high-performance layer-edge devices. …”

The opioid receptor influences circadian rhythms in human keratinocytes through the β-arrestin pathway by Bigliardi, Paul, Junnarkar, Seetanshu, Markale, Chinmay, Lo, Sydney, Bigliardi, Elena, Kalyuzhny, Alex, Ong, Sheena, Dunn, Ray, Wahli, Walter, Bigliardi-Qi, Mei

“…Through the ChIP assay, we determined that Met-Enkephalin enhances β-arrestin-1 binding to acetylated H4 in the PER2 promoter. In summary, our findings suggest that DOPr activation leads to a phase shift in PER2 expression via β-arrestin-1-facilitated chromatin remodeling. …”

Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…We also mapped the binding interfaces of ZαADAR1 to Z-DNA, Z-RNA and E.coli ribosomes, and found them to be identical. Based on this finding, we proposed that the role of ZαADAR1 in binding to ribosomes and inhibiting translation is to recognize potentially Z-forming structures and/or induce localized structural transitions from A- to Z-conformations in ribosomal RNA. …”

Global response of Vibrio cholerae to predation by heterotrophic protists by Hu, Jie

“…This data may indicate that small molecules, such as amino acids in the protozoal supernatant may act as a trigger for biofilm formation by V. cholerae. These findings will serve as a stepping-stone for further detailed understanding of the interactions between V. cholerae and protozoa, which in turn will lead to a better understanding of how pathogenic bacteria evolve in the environment.…”

Three physiological responses in fathers and non-fathers’ to vocalizations of typically developing infants and infants with Autism Spectrum Disorder by Esposito, Gianluca, Valenzi, Stefano, Islam, Tanvir, Bornstein, Marc H.

“…Fathers were calmer and acted more promptly than non-fathers while listening to typical cries, perhaps because the fathers had more experience in caring for crying infants. These findings point to similarities and differences in fathers’ and non-fathers’ physiological responsiveness to cries of children with ASD and might guide specific intervention programs for parents of children at risk of ASD.…”
