A series of color-tunable NaBa1-zSrzB9O15:Ce3+,Mn2+ phosphors were synthesized by a high temperature solid state method. Luminescence property, energy transfer, thermal stability and cation substitution were investigated in detail. Due to energy transfer, NaBaB9O15:Ce3+,Mn2+ presents violet to green luminescence and manifest a broad excitation range from 200 to 350 nm.

N6-methyladenosine (mA) is the most prevalent and reversible internal modification of mammalian messenger and noncoding RNAs mediated by specific mA writer, reader, and eraser proteins. As an mA writer, the methyltransferase-like 3-methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14)-Wilms tumor 1-associated protein complex dynamically regulates mA modification and plays important roles in diverse biologic processes. However, our knowledge about the complete functions of this RNA methyltransferase complex, the contributions of each component to the methylation, and their effects on different biologic pathways are still limited.

A study of the associated production of a boson and a charm quark jet ( ), and a comparison to production with a quark jet ( ), in collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 are presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 , collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC.

Human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is a unique enzyme involved in bilirubin conjugation. We previously characterized the hepatic expression of transcription factors affecting UGT1A1 expression during development. Accordingly, in this study, we characterized the ontogenetic expression of hepatic UGT1A1 from the perspective of epigenetic regulation.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted on proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV to search for narrow resonances decaying into dijet final states, using data from the CMS detector with a total integrated luminosity of 18.8 fb^{-1}.
  • The researchers utilized a novel data scouting technique to efficiently collect large amounts of data by streamlining the event information, which enhanced the detection of low-mass resonances at a higher rate.
  • The analysis resulted in no evidence for narrow resonances in the dijet mass distribution, and upper limits on resonance cross sections and couplings, specifically for a leptophobic resonance Z_{B}^{'}, were established, surpassing previous experimental results for masses between 500 and 800 GeV.

Background And Purpose: Previous studies of geometric and morphologic parameters of intracranial aneurysms have been conducted to determine rupture risk, which remains incompletely defined due to patient-specific risk factors, such as sex, hypertension, and age. To this end, we compared characteristics of ruptured and unruptured aneurysms in the same patients with symmetric bilateral intracranial aneurysms.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2008 and March 2014, 2361 patients with 2674 aneurysms were diagnosed by CT angiography or surgical findings at 4 medical centers.

A search is reported for the pair production of a new quark b' with at least one b' decaying to a Z boson and a bottom quark. The data, corresponding to 2.0 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity, were collected from pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
