Hydrogen exchange experiments under slow exchange conditions show that an omega loop in cytochrome c (residues 40-57) acts as a cooperative unfolding/refolding unit under native conditions. This unit behavior accounts for an initial step on the unfolding pathway, a final step in refolding, and a number of other structural, functional and evolutionary properties.

Cooperative Molecular Interaction-Based Highly Efficient Capturing of Ultrashort- and Short-Chain Emerging Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Using Multifunctional Nanoadsorbents.

The short-chain (C to C) and ultrashort-chain (C to C) per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are bioaccumulative, carcinogenic to humans, and harder to remove using current technologies, which are often detected in drinking and environmental water samples. Herein, we report the development of nonafluorobutanesulfonyl (NFBS) and polyethylene-imine (PEI)-conjugated FeO magnetic nanoparticle-based magnetic nanoadsorbents and demonstrated that the novel adsorbent has the capability for highly efficient removal of six different short- and ultrashort-chain PFAS from drinking and environmental water samples. Reported experimental data indicates that by capitalizing the cooperative hydrophobic, fluorophilic, and electrostatic interaction processes, NFBS-PEI-conjugated magnetic nanoadsorbents can remove ∼100% short-chain perfluorobutanesulfonic acid within 30 min from the water sample with a maximum absorption capacity of ∼234 mg g.

The development of front-side pastes suitable for devices with high sheet resistance such as tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon), is of great significance but remains a considerable challenge. The optimization of the Ag-Si contact interface is crucial for enhancing contact and improving the efficiency of these devices. This work investigates the front-side Ag pastes with low Al content (<2 wt.

November 2024
Narrative Enquiry for Social Transformation (NEST), University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
Widows in Africa are mostly perceived as helpless victims of harmful widowhood practices. The article offers new insights into the understanding of widowhood and the status of widows in the context of these practices. Integrating feminist research and narrative theory, the paper examines widows' responses to the ritual of the 'sitting and its associated practice of widow dispossession.
