Generation of Cas9 Knock-In <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> Mosquito Cells by Elizabeth Walsh, Tran Zen B. Torres, Brian C. Prince, Claudia Rückert

“…In comparison to the RNAi-mediated gene silencing of <i>dicer-2</i>, <i>argonaute-2b</i>, and <i>piwi5</i>, our Cas9/sgRNA approach showed an enhanced ability to detect antiviral effects. <b>Conclusions</b>: We propose that this cell line offers a new tool for studying gene function in <i>Cx. quinquefasciatus</i> mosquitoes that avoids the use of RNAi. …”

Non-onsite symmetries and quantum teleportation in split-index matrix product states by David T. Stephen

“…On the computational side, the spin chains represent a new class of states that can be used to deterministically teleport information across long distances, with the novel property that the necessary classical side processing is a non-linear function of the measurement outcomes. We also give examples of states that can serve as universal resources for measurement-based quantum computation, providing the first examples of such resources without entanglement spectrum degeneracy. …”

German Colonists of Northwest Russia in Conditions of Post-Revolutionary Reality (1918-1922) by V. N. Shaidurov, V. A. Lomanov

“…The condition and functioning of German farms largely depended on the extraordinary revolutionary economic measures carried out by the Bolsheviks within the framework of equalizing land use and “war communism”, where the German village was considered as an easily accessible and high-performance source of agricultural resources for the Red Army and the urban population, which resulted in an excessively high economic burden on the colonies and a selective approach to accounting for national the specifics of the economic life of the Germans and their current economic opportunities. …”

Iterative approach for photonic crystal devices design by Pavel V. Mokshin, Dimitriy L. Golovashkin, Vladimir S. Pavelyev

“…The proposed approach differs from known general-purpose optimization methods (e.g., genetic algorithm or gradient procedures) by using diffraction pattern information at different frequencies while optimizing an element designed to operate at the selected wavelength. The design of functional PhC structures with expected characteristics (for example, waveguides) for a certain wavelength (albeit given by a monochromatic radiation source) is described. …”
