The excitonic states of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers are heavily influenced by their external dielectric environment and depend on the substrate used. In this work, various wide band gap dielectric ...

Abatement of CO, due to its poisonous nature, is an extensively researched topic. Oxidation to CO2 is one of the strategies deployed and finds application in automobiles and fuel cells. Gold nanoparticles on an oxide support ...

Mitochondrial energetics and respiration have emerged as important factors in how cancer cells respond to or evade apoptotic signals. The study of the functional connection between these two processes may provide insight ...

We study the existence, nonexistence and qualitative properties of the solutions to the problem where (p) {(-Delta)(s)u - theta u/vertical bar x vertical bar(2s) = u(p) - u(q) in R-N u > 0 in R-N u is an element of H-s ...

Quorum sensing is a bacterial cell-cell communication process that regulates gene expression. The search and binding of the autoinducer molecule (AHL)-bound LuxR-type proteins to specific sites on DNA in quorum-sensing ...

The purpose of this paper is threefold. Firstly, we establish a Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality with optimal constant, which involves a fractional norm and an inhomogeneous nonlinearity. Secondly, as an application of this ...

A search for resonances decaying into a W boson and a radion, where the radion decays into two W bosons, is presented. The data analyzed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb−1 recorded in proton-proton collisions ...

Folding motifs of the secondary structures of peptides and proteins are primarily based on the hydrogen bonding interactions in the backbone as well as the sequence of the amino acid residues present. For instance, the ...

In Africa and Asia, fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) and South American tomato pinworm (Tuta absoluta) have become severe invasive pests of maize and tomato, respectively. They rapidly develop resistance to commercial ...

A search for physics beyond the standard model (SM) in final states with an electron or muon and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis uses data from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of ...
