Exon skipping is correlated with exon circularization by Kelly, S, Greenman, C, Cook, PR, Papantonis, A

“…Here, we stimulated primary human endothelial cells with tumor necrosis factor α or tumor growth factor β, purified RNA, generated > 2.4 billion RNA-seq reads, and used a custom pipeline to characterize circular RNAs derived from coding exons. We find that circularization of exons is widespread and correlates with exon skipping, a feature that adds considerably to the regulatory complexity of the human transcriptome.…”

Policy complexity suppresses dopamine responses by Gershman, SJ, Lak, A

Nietzsche and the significance of genealogy by Prescott-Couch, A

“…On this view, Nietzsche provides a ‘deconstructive genealogy’ that indicates whether and where we should expect to find unity in our current moral practices. Moreover, Nietzsche’s history contributes to a critique of contemporary morality because it reveals that morality is unlikely to have the kind of unity required by many of its defenders. …”

Should investors care where private equity managers went to school? by Fuchs, F, Füss, R, Jenkinson, T, Morkoetter, S

“…In particular, we explore three potential channels of how their educational background may influence fund performance: (i) institutional quality, (ii) individual performance, and (iii) academic variety. We find that a combination of top-tier education and work experience identifies individual performance in the management team. …”

Modern Game Testing : Learn how to test games like a pro, optimize testing effort, and skyrocket your QA career / by Finska, Nikolina, author 656259

“…This often leads to negative reviews, and in turn, you'll find that demand for your games declines. The solution lies in better quality assurance (QA) - and Modern Game Testing will show you how to achieve just that. …”

Synthesis of Co-doped MoS2 monolayers with enhanced valley splitting by Zhou, Jiadong, Lin, Junhao, Sims, Hunter, Jiang, Chongyun, Cong, Chunxiao, Brehm, John A., Zhang, Zhaowei, Niu, Lin, Chen, Yu, Zhou, Yao, Wang, Yanlong, Liu, Fucai, Zhu, Chao, Yu, Ting, Suenaga, Kazu, Mishra, Rohan, Pantelides, Sokrates T., Zhu, Zhen-Gang, Gao, Weibo, Liu, Zheng, Zhou, Wu

“…Density functional theory (DFT) and model calculations reveal that the observed enhanced VZS arises from an internal magnetic field induced by the tridopant clusters, which couples to the spin, atomic orbital, and valley magnetic moment of carriers from the conduction and valence bands. …”

Nonlinear polariton parametric emission in an atomically thin semiconductor based microcavity by Zhao, Jiaxin, Fieramosca, Antonio, Bao, Ruiqi, Du, Wei, Dini, Kevin, Su, Rui, Feng, Jiangang, Luo, Yuan, Sanvitto, Daniele, Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Xiong, Qihua

“…Recently, two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted great attention in strong light–matter interactions due to robust excitonic transitions and unique spin-valley degrees of freedom. However, further progress is hindered by the lack of realizations of strong nonlinear effects in TMD polaritons. …”
