In this paper, the structural properties and the electrical conductivity of LaPrNbO (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3) and PrNbO are presented and discussed. All synthesized samples crystallized in a monoclinic structure with similar thermal expansion coefficients. The phase transition temperature between the monoclinic and tetragonal structure increases with increasing praseodymium content from 500 °C for undoped LaNbO to 700 °C for PrNbO. Thermogravimetry, along with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, confirmed a mixed 3/4 oxidation state of praseodymium. All studied materials, in humid air, exhibited mixed protonic, oxygen ionic and hole conductivity. The highest total conductivity was measured in dry air at 700 °C for PrNbO, and its value was 1.4 × 10 S/cm.

Crystallin proteins serve as both essential structural and as well as protective components of the ocular lens and are required for the transparency and light refraction properties of the organ. The mouse lens crystallin proteome is represented by αA-, αB-, βA1-, βA2-, βA3-, βA4-, βB1-, βB2-, βB3-, γA-, γB-, γC-, γD-, γE, γF-, γN-, and γS-crystallin proteins encoded by 16 genes. Their mutations are responsible for lens opacification and early onset cataract formation.

Centrioles play central roles in ciliogenesis and mitotic spindle assembly. Once assembled, centrioles exhibit long-term stability, a property essential for maintaining numerical control. How centriole stability is achieved and how it is lost in certain biological contexts are still not completely understood.

Unlabelled: Sensory stimuli vary across a variety of dimensions, like contrast, orientation, or texture. The brain must rely on population representations to disentangle changes in one dimension from changes in another. To understand how the visual system might extract separable stimulus representations, we recorded multiunit neuronal responses to texture images varying along two dimensions: contrast, a property represented as early as the retina, and naturalistic statistical structure, a property that modulates neuronal responses in V2 and V4, but not in V1.

Pulsed Dipolar ESR Spectroscopy (PDS) is a uniquely powerful technique to characterize the structural property of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and polymers and the conformational evolution of IDPs and polymers, e.g. during assembly, by offering the probability distribution of segment end-to-end distances.
