Light-driven biohybrid systems that couple semiconductor nanocrystals with enzymes offer a promising strategy for solar-to-chemical energy-conserving reduction reactions, yet are often limited by inefficient hole scavenging. Hole scavenging is critical for maintaining charge separation in the light-absorbing electron donor molecule and, thus, for sustaining catalytic turnover, making quantification essential to improving system efficiency. Here, we introduce a photoelectrochemical approach for...

Studies have shown that substance use liability is associated with novelty seeking, anxiety-like behavior, and pain sensitivity. We examined whether common genetic variation in outbred Sprague-Dawley rats explained variation in behavioral measures from three assays with established links to substance use: locomotor response to a novel environment, elevated plus maze, and tail flick. We estimated single-nucleotide polymorphism heritability and performed genome-wide association analyses using...

Slash pine (Pinus elliottii) possesses an exceptionally large, repeat-rich genome, and existing low-density SNP arrays provide limited marker coverage and resolution of linkage patterns. To increase marker density for population-based genetic analyses and improve the accuracy of genomic relationship matrix (GRM) estimation, we constructed a reference panel from about 10× whole-genome resequencing of 50 maternal parents and performed genome-wide imputation for 51K SNP-array genotypes of 715...

CONCLUSIONS: Ivocolor and MiYO Color were not affected in a clinically relevant way by the ceramic substrate and adequately maintained their color and gloss. MiYO Structure exhibited similar results, except for color retention on LD and gloss retention on 5% 5Y-MZ.
