PhpCNF-Y transcription factor infiltrates heterochromatin to generate cryptic intron-containing transcripts crucial for small RNA production by Manjit Kumar Srivastav, H. Diego Folco, Patroula Nathanailidou, Anupa T Anil, Drisya Vijayakumari, Shweta Jain, Jothy Dhakshnamoorthy, Maura O’Neill, Thorkell Andresson, David Wheeler, Shiv I. S. Grewal

“…Our analyses show that siRNA production by this TF-mediated transcription pathway is critical for heterochromatin nucleation at target repeat loci. This study reveals a mechanism by which heterochromatic repeats are transcribed, initiating their own silencing by triggering a primary cascade that produces siRNAs necessary for heterochromatin nucleation.…”

Damage initiation in brittle and ductile materials as revealed from a fractoluminescence study by Alexandre Chmel, Igor’ Shcherbakov

“…The statistical analysis of the FL time series detected with high resolution (10 ns) showed that the energy release distributions in brittle solids follow the power law typical for the correlated nucleation of primary defects. At the same time, the formation of damaged sites in ductile materials (marble and organic glass) was found to be fully random.…”

QCD axion strings or seeds? by Simone Blasi, Alberto Mariotti

“…In the case of a first order EW phase transition, the strings can act as seeds by either catalyzing the nucleation of (non-spherical) bubbles, or leading to the completion of the phase transition by triggering a classical instability.…”

Efficient Removal of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution by Adsorption of Ceramic-Based Composite DBPC@HKUST-1 by FENG Yanzhao, WU Yixiong, CHEN Xinhong

“…HKUST-1 crystals with excellent properties are grown in situ on low-cost and high-stability diatomite-based porous ceramic (DBPC) by the non-uniform nucleation growth method.The successful preparation of the composite DBPC@HKUST-1 is verified by XRD,FTIR,and SEM characterization.At the same time,the adsorption performance of DBPC@HKUST-1 for methylene blue (MB) is studied,and the adsorption kinetics,adsorption isotherm,adsorption thermodynamics and the influence of pH are analyzed.The results show that the adsorption behavior is consistent with the quasi-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isothermal model.The maximum adsorption capacity of DBPC@HKUST-1 for MB is 378.788 mg/g.The adsorption thermodynamics indicates that the adsorption behavior is a spontaneous exothermic reaction.Therefore,DBPC@HKUST-1,as a cheap green adsorbent,is expected to be the best candidate material for the treatment of organic dye wastewater in the future industry.…”
