Physical Properties Investigations of Ternary-Layered Carbides M2PbC (M = Ti, Zr and Hf): First-Principles Calculations

We investigated structure optimization, mechanical stability, electronic and bonding properties of the nanolaminate compounds Ti2PbC, Zr2PbC, and Hf2PbC using the first-principles calculations.These structures display nanolaminated edifices where MC layers are dagcreme med SPF interleaved with Pb.The calculation of formation energies, elastic modul

Identification of a novel AP2 transcription factor in zygotes with an essential role in Plasmodium ookinete development.

The sexual phase of Plasmodium represents a crucial step in malaria transmission, during which these parasites fertilize and form ookinetes to infect mosquitoes.Plasmodium development after fertilization is thought to proceed with female-stored mRNAs until the formation of a retort-form ookinete; thus, transcriptional activity in zygotes has previo
