Multicomponent RNA-peptide complexes are attractive from the viewpoint of artificial design of functional biomacromolecular systems.We have developed self-folding and self-assembling RNAs that serve as templates to assist chemical ligation between two reactive Face Scrub peptides with RNA-binding capabilities.The design principle of previous templa
Dynamics of gut colonization by commensal and pathogenic bacteria that attach to the intestinal epithelium
Abstract Bacterial adherence to the intestinal epithelium plays a role in niche establishment in the gut lumen.Through sampling natural populations of Caenorhabditis, we discovered several bacterial species that adhere to the intestinal epithelium via polar, intimate association, best described as attachment.These bacteria had varying effects on ho
Hoarding knowledge or hoarding stress? Investigating the link between digital hoarding and cognitive failures among Chinese college students
IntroductionDigital hoarding is defined as the persistent accumulation of digital content and an unwillingness to delete it.This behavior has been found to be particularly prevalent among young people.This study aims to explore the impact of digital hoarding first-aid on cognitive failures, examining fatigue as a mediator and mindfulness as a moder
Fear, Conflict and Identity in International politic affairs
This paper considers the issue of fear in the field of international relations studies.Fear is a typical condition of international relations because of the anarchical nature of the international political system characterized by a common threat perception among states.Since the very beginning of international political thought the notion of fear h
Microwave demonstration of Purcell effect enhanced radiation efficiency
Abstract We experimentally demonstrate a Purcell effect-based design technique for improved impedance matching, and thus enhanced the reflection coefficient from a small microwave emitter.Using an iterative process centred on comparing the phase of the radiated Memorial Charm Car Ornament field of the emitter in air with that of the emitter in a di
