Urban sustainability assessment through spatial lenses: turning the spotlight on the local neighbourhood unit

With global environmental change and quality of life issues at the forefront of international discussions today, urban development strategies and policies are often framed around various sustainability or liveability goals. Regardless of the sustainability ...

Microscale hydrodynamic confinements: shaping liquids across length scales as a toolbox in life sciences

Philippe Renaud, David Philipp Taylor, Prerit Mathur

Hydrodynamic phenomena can be leveraged to confine a range of biological and chemical species without needing physical walls. In this review, we list methods for the generation and manipulation of microfluidic hydrodynamic confinements in free-flowing liqu ...

Transposable Elements and Their KRAB-ZFP Controllers Regulate Gene Expression in Adult Tissues

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Gabriela Ecco, Julien Léonard Duc, Marco Cassano, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Andrea Coluccio, Michaël Imbeault, Helen Mary Rowe

KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are early embryonic controllers of transposable elements (TEs), which they repress with their cofactor KAP1 through histone and DNA methylation, a process thought to result in irreversible silencing. Using a ...

Unraveling the KRAB/KAP1 control of transposable elements in pluripotent and somatic cells

Gabriela Ecco

Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences able to change position in the genome, and represent more than 40% of mammalian genetic material. TEs can have positive or detrimental effects on the host, being both important motors of evolution and genomic t ...

Extended Intermolecular Interactions Governing Photocurrent-Voltage Relations in Ternary Organic Solar Cells

Ursula Röthlisberger, Simone Meloni, Wolfgang Richard Tress, Negar Ashari Astani, Feng Gao, Beatrice Beyer

Efficient organic solar cells are based on (electron) donor-acceptor heterojunctions. An optically generated excited molecular state (exciton) is dissociated at this junction, forming a charge-transfer (CT) state in an intermediate step before the electron ...

Manipulating flow separation: sensitivity of stagnation points, separatrix angles and recirculation area to steady actuation

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo

A variational technique is used to derive analytical expressions for the sensitivity of several topological indicators of flow separation to steady actuation. Considering the boundary layer flow above a wall-mounted bump, the six following representative q ...

Development of Electrokinetically Based Two-Dimensional Separation Methodologies for Proteomic Studies

Mohammad Reza Pourhaghighi

Proteomic studies require analytical methods capable of separating, identifying and quantifying thousands of proteins. Consequently, developing separation methodologies with high resolving power necessary to separate complex protein samples prior to protei ...

Weak metrics on Euclidean domains

Marc Troyanov

A weak metric on a set is a function that satisfies the axioms of a metric except the symmetry and the separation axioms. The aim of this paper is to present some interesting weak metrics and to study some of their properties. In particular, we introduce a ...
