Transition metal oxides have a great potential in sodium-ion capacitors (SICs) due to their pronouncedly higher capacity and low cost. However, poor conductivity fragile structure hinder development. Herein, core-shell-like nickel-cobalt oxysulfide (NCOS) nanowires are synthesized demonstrated as an advanced SICs anode. The bimetallic with multiple cation valence can promote the sodium ion adso...

We show that a four-parameter class of 3+1 dimensional NCOS theories can be obtained by dimensional reduction on a general 2-torus from OM theory. Compactifying two spatial directions of NCOS theory on a 2-torus, we study the transformation properties under the SO(2, 2;Z) T-duality group. We then discuss non-perturbative configurations of noncommutative super Yang-Mills theory. In particular, w...

We study the phases of the 1+1 dimensional Non-Commutative Open String theory on a circle. We find that the length scale of non-commutativity increases at strong coupling, the coupling in turn being dressed by a power of D-string charge. The system is stringy at around this length scale, with dynamics involving an interplay between the open and wrapped closed strings sectors. Above this energy ...

A century of genetic analysis has revealed that multiple mechanisms control the distribution of meiotic crossover events. In Drosophila melanogaster, two significant positional controls are interference and the strongly polar centromere effect. Here, we assess the factors controlling the distribution of crossovers (COs) and noncrossover gene conversions (NCOs) along all five major chromosome ar...

We study decoupling limits and S-dualities for noncommutative open string/ Yang-Mills theory in a gravity setup by considering an SL(2, Z) invariant super-gravity solutions of the form ((F, D1), D3) bound state of type IIB string theory. This configuration can be regarded as D3-brane solution with both electric and magnetic fields turned on along one of the spatial directions of the brane and p...

The RTR complex consisting of a RecQ helicase, a type IA topoisomerase and the structural protein RMI1 is involved in the processing of DNA recombination intermediates in all eukaryotes. In Arabidopsis thaliana the complex partners RECQ4A, topoisomerase 3α and RMI1 have been shown to be involved in DNA repair and in the suppression of homologous recombination in somatic cells. Interestingly, mu...
