Activating Role of Poly(3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene) in the Electrorheological Performance of Fluids Filled by Its Highly Porous Particles

Abstract A method for forming highly porous poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) composite particles with an excess nonconductive PSS component via spraying into liquid nitrogen, followed by freeze-drying, was proposed. The additional PSS content both...

Conformal blocks of Wess-Zumino-Witten model from its free-field representation

A bstract A powerful approach to the celebrated Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model is provided by its free-field realization. However, explicit calculations of conformal blocks are not described in the literature in full detail. We begin this study with the simplest cases of the $$ \...

The Genetic Diversity of Old and Modern Accessions of Glycine max Revealed by Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS)

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is one of the most widely cultivated grain legumes worldwide. A genetic analysis of soybean samples around the world is essential for effective breeding programs and the development of genomic and marker-assisted selection. This study investigated...

Co-Mutation of CREBBP/EP300 and POLE/POLD1 Identifies a TMB-High Subset of MSS CRC

Identifying immunotherapy biomarkers for colorectal cancer (CRC) beyond MSI-high status is challenging. We evaluated CREBBP/EP300 and POLE/POLD1 mutations as candidate markers using public cohorts (MSK-CHORD, n = 5493; TCGA, n = 528; MetTropism, n = 24,496; ICI-treated, n = 1610)...
