Recent Advances in Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ubiquitous defects predominately account for photo‐instability and open‐circuit voltage losses in wide‐bandgap perovskite solar cells (WBG PSCs). This review comprehensively presents the underlying impact mechanisms, summarizes the advanced optimization strategies across various functional layers and their interfaces to develop efficient and stable WBG

Cropping system diversity and tillage intensity affects wheat productivity in Texas

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3498-3514, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in Texas depends heavily on conventional tillage (CT) and a long summer fallow period, which contributes to soil degradation. This study compared the impact of reducing tillage intensity (CT, no‐tillage, and strip‐tillage) combined with summer cropping to CT–summer fallow on wheat establishment, grain ...

Stress Response of Aspergillus niger Spores to Copper Surfaces and the Implications for Antifungal Surface Functionalization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced periodic surface structures (USP‐DLIP) on copper, brass, and steel surfaces. Using Aspergillus niger as a model, the research highlights a 99% reduction in spore viability on 9 µm structured copper surfaces due to enhanced copper ion release. Scanning electron microscopy

The type of seeder cells determines the efficiency of germinal center reactions [PDF]

arXiv, 2002
We discuss the origin of two classes of germinal centers that have been observed during humoral immune responses: Some germinal centers develop very well and give rise to a large number of high affinity antibody producing plasma cells. Other germinal center reaction are very weak and the output production is practically absent.

Elongator promotes germination and early post-germination growth [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2018
The Elongator complex interacts with RNA polymerase II and via histone acetylation and DNA demethylation facilitates epigenetically the transcription of genes involved in diverse processes in plants, including growth, development, and immune response.

Extracellular Vesicle Crosslinkers Constructing Hydrogels with Stress‐Relaxation and Bioactive Protein Modification

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are functionalized and used as crosslinkers to construct hydrogels, compatible with common crosslinking chemistries in biomaterial scaffolds. EV crosslinkers provided stress relaxation properties, promoting cell growth. They also enabled efficient protein delivery while maintaining biological activity, as VEGF‐loaded EV ...

Weedy Adaptation in Setaria spp.: VII. Seed Germination Heteroblasty in Setaria faberi [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
The dormancy status of S. faberi seed at abscission was assessed with reference to tiller and panicle development. Seed from a single genetic line were grown under field, greenhouse and controlled environment growth chamber conditions. At abscission, a small fraction (<10%) of S. faberi seed germinated under favorable conditions.
