Chromatin states are the key to gene regulation and cell identity. immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) is increasingly being used map epigenetic across genomes of diverse species. modification profiles frequently noisy diffuse, spanning regions ranging from several nucleosomes large domains multiple genes. Much early work on identification ChIP-enriched for ChIP-Seq data has focused identifying localized regions, such as transcription factor binding...

The ground state of the spin-1/2 nearest-neighbor Heisenberg quantum antiferromagnet on Kagomé lattice probably lacks spin order; therefore, conventional spin-wave analysis breaks down. To ascertain state, we instead use a systematic 1/n expansion with SU(n) fermions. Two distinct states occur in large-n limit, depending size biquadratic interaction J̃. When J̃=0, there are an infinite number degenerate consisting disconnected dimers. At finite n, however, this degeneracy is broken by local...

Abstract Large energy loss is one of the main limiting factors for power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) organic solar cells (OSCs). To this effect, chemical modifications famous Y‐series nonfullerene acceptor (NFA) BTP‐4Cl‐BO with a new end group, TPC‐Cl, whose π‐conjugation extended through fusing 3‐(dicyanomethylene)indanone (IC) group chlorinated thiophene ring, to synthesize two novel NFAs, BTP‐T‐2Cl and BTP‐T‐3Cl are performed. For TPC‐Cl groups, resulting OSC exhibits modest PCE 14.89%...

In analogy to the quantum dimer model on square lattice introduced by Rokhsar and Kivelson, we identify low-energy Hilbert space of spin-1/2 kagom\'e Heisenberg antiferromagnet with set dimerized states (nearest-neighbor singlets) derive an effective Hamiltonian which describes resonance includes fluctuations into next-nearest-neighbor singlets. Complete diagonalization this for systems as large 36 spins makes possible study thermodynamics strongly supports double peak feature in heat capacity.

Non-coding RNA molecules play essential roles by interacting with other to perform various biological functions. However, it is difficult determine structures due their flexibility. At present, the number of experimentally solved RNA-ligand and RNA-protein still insufficient. Therefore, binding sites prediction non-coding required understand functions.Current site algorithms produce many false positive nucleotides that are distance away from sites. Here, we present a network approach, RBind,...

Effective emotional regulation, crucial for adaptive behavior, is mediated by the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) via connections to basolateral amygdala (BLA) and nucleus accumbens (NAc), traditionally considered functionally similar in modulating reward aversion responses. However, how mPFC balances these descending pathways control behavioral outcomes remains unclear. We found that while overall firing patterns appeared consistent across states, deeper analysis revealed distinct...
