Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have unique electronic properties in which deep level defects are rarely formed. This unique defect characteristic is the source of the long carrier diffusion length. This theoretical study shows what causes this characteristic formation of shallow level defects in lead tri-halide perovskites. Comparative studies between iodides and other halides showed that deep level defect states were generated for Cl based perovskites. Longer Pb-halide bond lengths and narrower band gaps are beneficial for preventing deep level defect states. Additionally, our study shows that the formation of shallow level defects does not change even when the lattice structures of the perovskites do not reach their equilibrium structures.

Background: Oocyte maturation defect (OMD) and early embryonic arrest result in female infertility. Previous studies have linked biallelic mutations in the PATL2 gene to OMD, yet the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown.
Results: This study uncovers three novel mutations (c.

Background: While the line joining the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) intersects a relatively stable sacral vertebra, it does not directly facilitate the localization of lumbar interspace or assist in the positioning for neuraxial anesthesia. Our study aimed to explore the potential of the PSIS line as a reference point and to determine its practical applicability in clinical settings.
Methods: We consecutively enrolled pregnant women with gestational ages ranging from 24 to 38 weeks scheduled for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination.

Flagella are essential for biofilm formation, adhesion, virulence, and motility. In this study, the deletion of argR resulted in defects in flagellar synthesis and reduced motility, nevertheless, the underlying mechanism by which ArgR regulated bacterial motility remained unclear. ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq analysis revealed that ArgR regulated the expression of flagellar genes, concluding two-component system flrBC and multitudinous flagellar structure genes.

In response to climate change mitigation efforts, improving the efficiency of heat networks is becoming increasingly important. An efficient operation of energy systems depends on faultless performance. Following the need for effective fault detection and elimination methods, this study suggests a three-step workflow for increasing automation in managing defective substations on the user level within heat networks.

Variants in the hereditary cancer-associated and genes can alter RNA splicing, producing transcripts that encode internally truncated yet potentially functional proteins. However, few studies have quantitatively analyzed variant-specific splicing isoforms. Here, we investigated cells heterozygous and homozygous for the :c.
