Regulated Thermal Boundary Conductance between Copper and Diamond through Nanoscale Interfacial Rough Structures.

Interfacial structure optimization is important to enhance the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) as well as the overall performance of thermal conductive composites. In this work, the effect of interfacial roughness on the TBC between copper and diamond is investigated with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) experiments. It is found from MD simulations that the thermal transport efficiency across a rough interface is higher, and the TBC can be improved 5.

QuantPipe: A User-Friendly Pipeline Software Tool for DIA Data Analysis Based on the OpenSWATH-PyProphet-TRIC Workflow.

Targeted analysis of data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry data requires elegant software tools and strict statistical control. OpenSWATH-PyProphet-TRIC is a widely used DIA data analysis workflow. The OpenSWATH-PyProphet-TRIC workflow is typically executed by running command lines.

Quantification of Dynamic Protein Interactions and Phosphorylation in LPS Signaling Pathway by SWATH-MS.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage activation is a prototype of innate immune response. Although key effector proteins in LPS signaling pathway have been revealed, the map of dynamic protein interactions and phosphorylation as well as the stoichiometry of protein complexes are lacking. Here we present a dynamic map of protein interactions and phosphorylation in MyD88, TRAF6 and NEMO complexes obtained by SWATH-MS.

Understanding how the aggregation structure of starch affects its gastrointestinal digestion rate and extent.

Regulating the starch gastrointestinal digestion rate by control of its aggregation structure is an effective way, but the mechanism is still not clear. Multi-scale structure of waxy and normal wheat starches were studied by confocal laser scanning and scanning electron microscopes, as well as wide-angle and small-angle X-ray techniques in this study. In vitro digestion kinetics of those two starches and structure-digestion relationship were also discussed.
