Dear Reader

<p>Cell scratch test and Transwell were used to measure the migration abilities of HSVSMCs. NC = Negative control group, only control siRNA transfected; GAS5(-) = lncRNA-GAS5 knockdown group transfected with silence siRNA. <b>A:</b>Cell scratch test was used to measure the migration abilities of HSVSMCs. The results showed that the HSVSMCs have the best migration abilities in the first 24 hours. Values are mean±SE, N = 4. <b>B:</b> The migration abilities of HSVSMCs measured by Transwell. After transfected by lncRNA-GAS5 siRNA for 48 hours, the HSVSMCs were passage into the Transwell Inserts. Then 4 hours, 7 hours, 10 hours later, the migration HSVSMCs were photographed and counted, respectively. Knockdown of lncRNA-GAS5 expression promotes migration of HSVSMCs. Optical microscope images under 200x magnification. <b>C:</b> The migration abilities of HSVSMCs were reflected indirectly by the new migration cells counting with Transwell. Silencing of lncRNA-GAS5 expression increses migration ability of HSVSMCs. Values are mean±SE, N = 10; *, P<0.05.</p

Crystal Structures, Optical Properties, and Effective Mass Tensors of CH₃NH₃PbX₃ (X = I and Br) Phases Predicted from HSE06

The crystal structures are successfully established for tetragonal and orthorhombic CH₃NH₃PbX₃ (X = I and Br). The equilibrium lattice parameters are computed by the DFT+D2 method, and the results are compared to experimental values. The band dispersions and electronic densities of states are calculated by HSE06, showing that their band gaps are in the range from 1.63 to 2.3 eV. Although the calculated dielectric functions of MAPbX₃ compounds are similar to other semiconductors, the absorption spectra of their bulk crystals are drifted away from visible light spectrum. The effective mass tensors of holes and electrons are also evaluated in three principal directions at the Γ point. The anisotropies in the effective masses of the hole and electron are illustrated for two orthorhombic phases

Distributions of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5,1999–2005, surveillance-oriented sites from contiguous U.S. region.

a<p>Following the promulgation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard for PM_2.5 in 1997, routine collection of PM_2.5 was implemented in 1999. No attempt was made to convert PM₁₀ concentrations to PM_2.5, which requires a scaling factor based on a presumptive proportion of PM_2.5 in the PM₁₀ mass.</p>b<p>Sites describe unique sampling points indicated by longitude/latitude.

Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and lower and upper 95% confidence limits (LCL & UCL) for CVD complications from PM_2.5-fitted models —assessed with samples from the 2007 and 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.

<p>Both regionally and non-regionally adjusted results were presented, with the former graphically displayed. BMI and (BMI-squared)/100 were included as continuous variables. PM_2.5-related effects were associated with 10 µg/m³ increment in yearly median levels.</p

Effective Masses and Electronic and Optical Properties of Nontoxic MASnX₃ (X = Cl, Br, and I) Perovskite Structures as Solar Cell Absorber: A Theoretical Study Using HSE06

We calculated the effective masses and electronic and optical properties of CH₃NH₃SnX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskites as a solar cell absorber using the HSE06 hybrid functional. The computed band gaps are direct at the Γ point, ranging from 1.67 to 3.0 eV. The effective masses of carriers and the band gaps decrease from chlorine to iodine. Moreover, their hole masses are comparable to those of CH₃NH₃PbX₃ (X = Br and I) phases. The optical dielectric constant does not decrease monotonically when going from X = Cl to Br to I for CH₃NH₃SnX₃ perovskites. Under a small isotropic compressive stress, the photon absorption efficiency of CH₃NH₃SnX₃ perovskites is slightly improved due to the reduction of the fundamental band gap
