The concept of tandem catalysis, where sequential reactions catalyzed by different interfaces in single nanostructure give desirable product selectively, has previously been applied effectively in the production of propanal from methanol (via carbon monoxide and hydrogen) and ethylene via tandem hydroformylation. However, the underlying mechanism leading to enhanced product selectivity has rema...

In addition to foraging individually several species of ants guide nestmates to a goal by tandem running. We found that the Australian ant, Camponotus consobrinus, forages both individually and by tandem running to head to the same goal, nest-specific native Australian trees on which they forage. While paths of solitary foragers and initial paths of tandem followers showed no differences in hea...

In this paper, polymer solar cells with a tandem structure were investigated and optimized using a multiscale simulation scheme. In the proposed multiscale simulation, multiple aspects - optical calculation, mesoscale simulation, device scale simulation and optimal power conversion efficiency searching modules - were studied together to give an optimal result. Through the simulation work, depen...

Abstract Upon antigen recognition, activation-induced cytosine deaminase initiates affinity maturation of the B-cell receptor by somatic hypermutation (SHM) through error-prone DNA repair pathways. SHM typically creates single nucleotide substitutions, but tandem substitutions may also occur. While have been described in mice and other species, incidence this phenomenon its underlying mechanism...
