Inner-shell excitation energy levels, radiative and Auger transitions of the B-like nitrogen

Inner-shell excitation energy levels, radiative and Auger transitions of the 1s2s22p2, 1s2s22p3p, 1s2s2p3, 1s2p4, and 1s2p33p 2, 4L(L=S, P, D) resonances for B-like nitrogen are calculated using the saddle-point variation and saddle-point complex-rotation methods. The first-order perturbation theory is used to calculate relativistic and mass polarization corrections. Present autoionization energy levels, radiative transition rates and wavelengths, Auger rates, and Auger electron energies for these resonances agree well with theoretical and experimental data available in the literature, and will provide valuable background data for astrophysics and plasma physics in future.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

ATG4 Mediated Psm ES4326/AvrRpt2-Induced Autophagy Dependent on Salicylic Acid in Arabidopsis Thaliana

Psm ES4326/AvrRpt2 (AvrRpt2) was widely used as the reaction system of hypersensitive response (HR) in Arabidopsis. The study showed that in npr1 (GFP-ATG8a), AvrRpt2 was more effective at inducing the production of autophagosome and autophagy flux than that in GFP-ATG8a. The mRNA expression of ATG1, ATG6 and ATG8a were more in npr1 during the early HR. Based on transcriptome data analysis, enhanced disease susceptibility 1 (EDS1) was up-regulated in wild-type (WT) but was not induced in atg4a4b (ATG4 deletion mutant) during AvrRpt2 infection. Compared with WT, atg4a4b had higher expression of salicylic acid glucosyltransferase 1 (SGT1) and isochorismate synthase 1 (ICS1); but less salicylic acid (SA) in normal condition and the same level of free SA during AvrRpt2 infection. These results suggested that the consumption of free SA should be occurred in atg4a4b. AvrRpt2 may trigger the activation of Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor (TIR)-nucleotide binding site (NB)-leucine rich repeat (LRR)—TIR-NB-LRR—to induce autophagy via EDS1, which was inhibited by nonexpressor of PR genes 1 (NPR1). Moreover, high expression of NPR3 in atg4a4b may accelerate the degradation of NPR1 during AvrRpt2 infection

Highly conductive and stretchable nanostructured ionogels for 3D printing capacitive sensors with superior performance

Abstract Ionogels are promising material candidates for ionotronics due to their excellent ionic conductivity, stretchability, and thermal stability. However, it is challenging to develop 3D printable ionogels with both excellent electrical and mechanical properties. Here, we report a highly conductive and stretchable nanostructured (CSN) ionogel for 3D printing ionotronic sensors. We propose the photopolymerization-induced microphase separation strategy to prepare the CSN ionogels comprising continuous conducting nanochannels intertwined with cross-linked polymeric framework. The resultant CSN ionogels simultaneously achieves high ionic conductivity (over 3 S m−1), high stretchability (over 1500%), low degree of hysteresis (0.4% at 50% strain), wide-temperature-range thermostability (−72 to 250 °C). Moreover, its high compatible with DLP 3D printing enables the fabrication of complex ionogel micro-architectures with high resolution (up to 5 μm), which allows us to manufacture capacitive sensors with superior sensing performances. The proposed CSN ionogel paves an efficient way to manufacture the next-generation capacitive sensors with enhanced performance
