A synthetic methylotroph achieves accelerated cell growth by alleviating transcription-replication conflicts by Xin Meng, Guipeng Hu, Xiaomin Li, Cong Gao, Wei Song, Wanqing Wei, Jing Wu, Liming Liu

“…Through rational design and laboratory evolution, E. coli harboring with the SMA pathway is converted into a synthetic methylotroph. By self-adjusting the expression of TOPAI (topoisomerase I inhibitor) to alleviate transcriptional-replication conflicts (TRCs), the doubling time of methylotrophic E. coli is reduced to 4.5 h, approaching that of natural methylotrophs. …”

Experimental research on a direct-detection optical OFDM system based on cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasis technique by Wei WU, Jiang-nan XIAO, Ming CHEN, Jian-jun YU, Lin CHEN

“…Frequency selective fading (FF)caused by digital to analog converter and optical fibe dispersion in optical fiber link was analysed,and signal-signal mixing interference (SSMI) when the orthogonal frequency division multiplex-ing (OFDM) signal was detected by PIN after transmitting over the fiber in direct-detection optical OFDM system.The cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasized configuration of O-OFDM signal were proposed to decrease the influence of the SSMI and FF.The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the receiving sen-sitivity of the cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasized configuration of OFDM signal is higher than the interleaved configuration of training ed that the fiber transmission performance of the cascaded variable coefficient training sequences and pre-emphasized configuration of O-OFDM signal is better than the interleaved configuration of training sequence of OFDM signal in ro-bust tolerance against SSMI and FF.…”

White light-emitting electrochemical cells based on metal-free TADF emitters by Shi Tang, Youichi Tsuchiya, Jia Wang, Chihaya Adachi, Ludvig Edman

“…However, a drawback with current white LECs is that they either employ non-sustainable metals as an emitter constituent or are intrinsically efficiency limited by that the emitter only converts singlet excitons to photons. Organic compounds that emit by thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) can address these issues since they can harvest all excitons for light emission while being metal free. …”
