Comparative Transcriptional Analysis of Clinically Relevant Heat Stress Response in <em>Clostridium difficile</em> Strain 630 by Nigel G. Ternan (148302)

“…Interestingly, the flagellin gene (<em>fliC</em>) was downregulated, yet genes encoding the cell-wall associated flagellar components were upregulated suggesting that while motility may be reduced, adherence – to mucus or epithelial cells – could be enhanced during infection. We also observed that a number of phage associated genes were downregulated, as were genes associated with the conjugative transposon Tn5397 including a group II intron, thus highlighting a potential decrease in retromobility during heat stress. …”

Nonmonotonic Size-Dependent Carrier Mobility in PbSe Nanocrystal Arrays by Jihye Lee (157928)

We anticipate similar size-dependency of the mobility in other semiconductor NC arrays, although crossover diameter in which mobility reaches its maximum depends on the material.…”

Donor and Geometry Optimization: Fresh Perspectives for the Design of Polyoxometalate Charge Transfer Chromophores by Bethany R. Hood (20396768)

“…The linear systems show that with julolidinyl (Jd) and −NTol₂ donor groups, the alkyne bridge yields high second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficients β (Jd, β_0,<i>zzz</i> = 318 × 10^–30 esu; −NTol₂, β_0,<i>zzz</i> = 222 × 10^–30 esu), indeed the Jd compound gives the highest NLO activity of any organoimido-POM to date with minimal decrease in transparency. The <i>bis</i>-functionalized 2D (<i>C</i>_2v) POM derivative showed increased activity over its monofunctionalized analogue with no decrease in transparency, although the NLO response was only minimally two dimensional. …”
