Temperature-Dependent Optical Absorption Study of Exciton Binding Energy in Organolead Halide Perovskites by Gagik Ayvazyan, Harutyun Dashtoyan, Surik Khudaverdyan, Lenrik Matevosyan, Ashok Vaseashta

“…The <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$E_{b}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> values close to the thermal energy at room temperature, confirmed by both the experimental and theoretical approaches, indicate predominantly non-excitonic behavior, with approximately 95% of excitons dissociating into free carriers, which is essential for high photovoltaic efficiency. A discontinuity in the bandgap (from 1.57 eV to 1.72 eV) near 150&#x2013;160 K reflects the impact of the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic phase transition on the material&#x2019;s optoelectronic properties. …”

Effect of core wettability on seepage characteristics during CO2 saline aquifer sequestration process by MEIHERIAYI Mutailipu, Fusheng XUE, Tao LI, Yanjing LI, Yu LIU

“…When the inlet end was more hydrophilic and the outlet end was more hydrophobic, the saline water seepage velocity was faster; this might be due to the anisotropic wettability causing the uneven distribution of seepage behavior, thereby resulting in spatial and temporal differences in seepage rate and displacement efficiency; it can be seen that the physical characteristics of the seepage channel have a significant influence on the seepage process. …”

Fracture evolution characteristics of coal rock mass by high-voltage electric pulse fracturing in water by Xiankai BAO, Tong ZHANG, Guangqin CUI, Bin JIANG, Xiaofan ZHANG, Jianlong QIAO

“…High-voltage electric pulse fracturing in water is an important way to improve the efficiency of coalbed methane exploitation. To study the characteristics and laws of crack fracture in the process of high-voltage electric pulse fracturing coal rock mass in water, based on acoustic emission technology, by conducting high-pressure electric pulse stamping and fracturing tests on coal and rock masses in water, the crack fracture evolution characteristics under different discharge voltages were quantitatively analyzed using ringing and energy, and the event distribution and fractal dimension were used to analyze the crack development and propagation law, combining with the numerical simulation of PFC2D particle flow, the morphological characteristics of crack initiation and propagation were further studied from the mesoscale. …”

Upstream open reading frames buffer translational variability during Drosophila evolution and development by Yuanqiang Sun, Yuange Duan, Peixiang Gao, Chenlu Liu, Kaichun Jin, Shengqian Dou, Wenxiong Tang, Hong Zhang, Jian Lu

“…Our simulations revealed that uORF translation dampens CDS translational variability, with buffering capacity increasing in proportion to uORF translation efficiency, length, and number. We then compared the translatomes at different developmental stages of two Drosophila species, demonstrating that uORFs buffer mRNA translation fluctuations during both evolution and development. …”

Genome-wide sequence comparison and development of InDel and SNP markers to facilitate localized rice breeding by Juan Pariasca-Tanaka, Yoshiaki Ueda, Katsuhiko Kondo, M. Asaduzzaman Prodhan, Toavintsoa Rajonandraina, Harisoa Nicole Ranaivo, Mbolatantely Fahazavana Rakotondramanana, Hiroki Saito, Lam Thi Dinh, Matthias Wissuwa

“…Whole-genome sequences are available only for a small fraction of existing rice cultivars, limiting the opportunity for genomics-based marker-assisted selection (MAS) in most local cultivars. To efficiently develop locally-adapted rice cultivars resilient to adverse environmental conditions, our objective was to develop a pipeline for the analysis of re-sequencing data and the development of low-cost allele-specific markers that can be implemented in developing countries. …”
