TL;DR: It is shown that Deltex-1 (DTX1), a mammalian homolog of Drosophila Deltex, mediates a Notch signal to block differentiation of neural progenitor cells and suggests that DTX1 regulates transcription independently of the previously characterized Notch signaling pathway involving RBP-J and HES1/HES5.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-temperature synthesis technique in the presence of cationic surfactant was used to extract mesoporous titania particles from transmission electron microscopy images.
Abstract: In this study, we demonstrate a novel method for preparing crystallized mesoporous titania by using a low-temperature synthesis technique in the presence of cationic surfactant. XRD patterns showed that the titania particles obtained had both hexagonal structure and a wall with anatase crystalline structure. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation and corresponding electron diffraction pattern confirmed that the calcined particles are crystallized mesoporous titania.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hollow fiber with a pressure gradient was used to compress femtosecond laser pulses spectrally broadened by self-phase modulation, allowing an increase of the pulse energy for pulse compression.
Abstract: We propose and demonstrate a pulse compression technique using a hollow fiber with a pressure gradient. This technique improves the spatial and spectral qualities of femtosecond laser pulses spectrally broadened by self-phase modulation, and allows an increase of the pulse energy for pulse compression. Using chirped mirrors for dispersion compensation, we have successfully compressed the pulse to less than 10 fs with an energy as high as 5 mJ.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photophysical properties and photocatalytic activities for H2 evolution of the series of stannite-type complex sulfides AI2-Zn-AIV-S4 (AI = Cu and Ag; AIV = Sn and Ge) were studied.
Abstract: Photophysical properties and photocatalytic activities for H2 evolution of the series of stannite-type complex sulfides AI2-Zn-AIV-S4 (AI = Cu and Ag; AIV = Sn and Ge) were studied. Diffuse reflection spectra and the plane-wave-based density functional theory (DFT) calculation suggested that the conduction bands were made up of Ge4s4p or Sn5s5p with S3p orbitals, while the valence bands consisted of Cu3d and Ag4d with S3p orbitals. The constituting elements of AI and AIV affected the photophysical and photocatalytic properties. Ru cocatalyst-loaded Cu2ZnGeS4, Ag2ZnGeS4, and Ag2ZnSnS4 showed high activities for photocatalytic H2 evolution from an aqueous Na2S+K2SO3 solution under visible-light irradiation. Combination of Cu and Ag made it possible that the CuAgZnSnS4 photocatalyst with a narrow band gap (1.4 eV) utilized a wide range of visible light for the H2 evolution.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent efforts indicating the significance of electrode design to enhance the performance of PEC biosensor with semiconductor photocatalytic materials is presented, with the objective of emphasising the implications of photoexcited (charge) carrier transport and separation at nano-bio interfaces.
Abstract: The photoelectrochemical (PEC) process is a promising low-cost approach to convert chemical energy to electricity under light illumination and applied potential. PEC biosensing has attracted huge attention because of its ability to detect biomolecules through the photocurrent generated from biomolecule oxidation. However, important factors in the mechanism of PEC biosensing, particularly photoexcited (charge) carrier generation and separation at nano-bio interfaces, are not well explored. Therefore, with the objective of emphasising the implications of photoexcited (charge) carrier transport, here we review recent efforts indicating the significance of electrode design to enhance the performance of PEC biosensor with semiconductor photocatalytic materials. Besides enzymatic PEC biosensors, the underlying beneficial mechanism of direct oxidisation of biomolecules onto a wide range of semiconductor photocatalyst surfaces by the photogenerated holes is briefly discussed. This review is primarily divided into three parts: materials, signal amplification, and promising device architectures, based on recent advances in PEC biosensors. In addition, this review outlines the strategies used to detect a wide range of bioanalytes. After a summary of PEC sensing architectures, the review concludes with an outlook and the current challenges in fabricating solar-light-driven and self-powered biosensors using nanostructured photocatalytic semiconductors. The PEC biosensing schemes presented in this review provide unambiguous operating guidelines of this subject to facilitate our understanding of the compatibility between semiconductor photocatalysts and bioanalytes.
