Salmonella enterica, in contrast to Escherichia coli K12, can use 2-deoxy-D-ribose as the sole carbon source. The genetic determinants for this capacity in S. enterica serovar Typhimurium include four genes, of which three, deoK, deoP, and deoX, constitute an operon. The fourth, deoQ, is transcribed in the opposite di…

Numerical simulations are performed to follow the evolution of an initial density of dislocation loops in an infinite strained layer to the point where the dislocations have stopped moving. Several unexpected results are obtained. First, many of the threading arms are either annihilated or prematurely immobilized by h…

A combined approach has been used to study thermal effects on the extended x-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) of copper between 4 and 500 K. A phenomenological data analysis shows that the thermal expansions measured from the first and third cumulants significantly differ between each other and from the crystallo…

The tilted smectic liquid‐crystal phase of an ester‐based bent‐core mesogen (see Figure) is optically isotropic due to the combination of suitable tilt and opening angles of the bent cores. In electric fields, V‐shaped switching between isotropic and birefringent states is observed. Both the antiferroelectric and ferr…
