Spectral and temporal performance enhancement in a symmetric co-planar Au–Ge/AlGaAs/Au–Ge natural superlattice-based MSM photodetector
A comparative analysis is performed between a symmetric co-planar metal–semiconductor–metal Au–Ge/AlGaAs/Au–Ge photodetector based on naturally ordered superlattice structure in the semiconducting AlGaAs layer...

RNA Interference-Mediated Intrinsic Antiviral Immunity in Invertebrates
In invertebrates such as insects and nematodes, RNA interference (RNAi) provides RNA-based protection against viruses. This form of immunity restricts viral replication and dissemination from infected cells an...

Preparation and evaluation of microstructure, dielectric and conductivity (ac/dc) characteristics of a polyaniline/poly N-vinyl carbazole/Fe3O4 nanocomposite
A poly N-vinyl carbazole- Fe3O4 hybrid composite was prepared by solid state polymerization of N-vinyl carbazole (NVC) monomer in presence of Fe3O4 powder. This hybrid composite was dispersed in aqueous medium co...

Slicer Activity in Drosophila melanogaster S2 Extract
Reconstitution of RNA-inducing silencing complex (RISC) in vitro is a powerful biochemical technique to analyze crucial steps in RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. RISC contains an RNase enzyme, Argonaute, whic...

Cricket paralysis virus antagonizes Argonaute 2 to modulate antiviral defense in Drosophila
Some viruses carry suppressors to inhibit host response to infection through the RNAi pathways. Previously the insect virus DCV was found to target host response by inhibiting Drosophila Dicer function. The relat...
