--- _id: '5982' abstract: - lang: eng text: In the present work, we detail a fast and simple solution-based method to synthesize hexagonal SnSe2 nanoplates (NPLs) and their use to produce crystallographically textured SnSe2 nanomaterials. We also demonstrate that the same strategy can be used to produce orthorhombic SnSe nanostructures and nanomaterials. NPLs are grown through a screw dislocation-driven mechanism. This mechanism typically results in pyramidal structures, but we demonstrate here that the growth from multiple dislocations results in flower-like structures. Crystallographically textured SnSe2 bulk nanomaterials obtained from the hot pressing of these SnSe2 structures display highly anisotropic charge and heat transport properties and thermoelectric (TE) figures of merit limited by relatively low electrical conductivities. To improve this parameter, SnSe2 NPLs are blended here with metal nanoparticles. The electrical conductivities of the blends are significantly improved with respect to bare SnSe2 NPLs, what translates into a three-fold increase of the TE Figure of merit, reaching unprecedented ZT values up to 0.65. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Yu full_name: Zhang, Yu last_name: Zhang - first_name: Yu full_name: Liu, Yu last_name: Liu - first_name: Khak Ho full_name: Lim, Khak Ho last_name: Lim - first_name: Congcong full_name: Xing, Congcong last_name: Xing - first_name: Mengyao full_name: Li, Mengyao last_name: Li - first_name: Ting full_name: Zhang, Ting last_name: Zhang - first_name: Pengyi full_name: Tang, Pengyi last_name: Tang - first_name: Jordi full_name: Arbiol, Jordi last_name: Arbiol - first_name: Jordi full_name: Llorca, Jordi last_name: Llorca - first_name: Ka Ming full_name: Ng, Ka Ming last_name: Ng - first_name: Maria full_name: Ibáñez, Maria id: 43C61214-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Ibáñez orcid: 0000-0001-5013-2843 - first_name: Pablo full_name: Guardia, Pablo last_name: Guardia - first_name: Mirko full_name: Prato, Mirko last_name: Prato - first_name: Doris full_name: Cadavid, Doris last_name: Cadavid - first_name: Andreu full_name: Cabot, Andreu last_name: Cabot citation: ama: Zhang Y, Liu Y, Lim KH, et al.

This family always contains a tight relaxation andwe give an algorithm able to find it and therefore, solve theinitial non-relaxed NP-hard problem.The relaxations we consider decompose the original probleminto two non-overlapping parts: an easy LP-tight part and adifficult one. For the latter part a combinatorial solver must beused. As we show in our experiments, in a number of applica-tions the second, difficult part constitutes only a small fractionof the whole problem. This property allows to significantlyreduce the computational time of the combinatorial solver andtherefore solve problems which were out of reach before.' article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Stefan full_name: Haller, Stefan last_name: Haller - first_name: Paul full_name: Swoboda, Paul id: 446560C6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Swoboda - first_name: Bogdan full_name: Savchynskyy, Bogdan last_name: Savchynskyy citation: ama: 'Haller S, Swoboda P, Savchynskyy B.

Consequently, in order to argue security, or compose these protocols one has to rely on the general theory that was developed for the purpose of MPC. The pursuit of efficient protocols, however, has resulted in designs that exploit properties pertaining to PSI. In almost all practical applications where a PSI protocol is deployed, it is expected to be executed multiple times, possibly on related inputs. In this work we initiate a dedicated study of PSI in the multi-interaction (MI) setting. In this model a server sets up the common system parameters and executes set-intersection multiple times with potentially different clients. We discuss a few attacks that arise when protocols are naïvely composed in this manner and, accordingly, craft security definitions for the MI setting and study their inter-relation. Finally, we suggest a set of protocols that are MI-secure, at the same time almost as efficient as their parent, stand-alone, protocols. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Sanjit full_name: Chatterjee, Sanjit last_name: Chatterjee - first_name: Chethan full_name: Kamath Hosdurg, Chethan id: 4BD3F30E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kamath Hosdurg - first_name: Vikas full_name: Kumar, Vikas last_name: Kumar citation: ama: Chatterjee S, Kamath Hosdurg C, Kumar V.

While physiological roles for polyploidization and senescence have been described in mouse development, controversy exists over their significance in humans. Here, we describe tetraploidization and senescence as phenomena of normal human placenta development. During pregnancy, placental extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) invade the pregnant endometrium, termed decidua, to establish an adapted microenvironment required for the developing embryo. This process is critically dependent on continuous cell proliferation and differentiation, which is thought to follow the classical model of cell cycle arrest prior to terminal differentiation. Strikingly, flow cytometry and DNAseq revealed that EVT formation is accompanied with a genome-wide polyploidization, independent of mitotic cycles. DNA replication in these cells was analysed by a fluorescent cell-cycle indicator reporter system, cell cycle marker expression and EdU incorporation. Upon invasion into the decidua, EVTs widely lose their replicative potential and enter a senescent state characterized by high senescence-associated (SA) β-galactosidase activity, induction of a SA secretory phenotype as well as typical metabolic alterations. Furthermore, we show that the shift from endocycle-dependent genome amplification to growth arrest is disturbed in androgenic complete hydatidiform moles (CHM), a hyperplastic pregnancy disorder associated with increased risk of developing choriocarinoma. Senescence is decreased in CHM-EVTs, accompanied by exacerbated endoreduplication and hyperploidy. We propose induction of cellular senescence as a ploidy-limiting mechanism during normal human placentation and unravel a link between excessive polyploidization and reduced senescence in CHM. article_number: e1007698 article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Philipp full_name: Velicky, Philipp id: 39BDC62C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Velicky orcid: 0000-0002-2340-7431 - first_name: Gudrun full_name: Meinhardt, Gudrun last_name: Meinhardt - first_name: Kerstin full_name: Plessl, Kerstin last_name: Plessl - first_name: Sigrid full_name: Vondra, Sigrid last_name: Vondra - first_name: Tamara full_name: Weiss, Tamara last_name: Weiss - first_name: Peter full_name: Haslinger, Peter last_name: Haslinger - first_name: Thomas full_name: Lendl, Thomas last_name: Lendl - first_name: Karin full_name: Aumayr, Karin last_name: Aumayr - first_name: Mario full_name: Mairhofer, Mario last_name: Mairhofer - first_name: Xiaowei full_name: Zhu, Xiaowei last_name: Zhu - first_name: Birgit full_name: Schütz, Birgit last_name: Schütz - first_name: Roberta L. full_name: Hannibal, Roberta L. last_name: Hannibal - first_name: Robert full_name: Lindau, Robert last_name: Lindau - first_name: Beatrix full_name: Weil, Beatrix last_name: Weil - first_name: Jan full_name: Ernerudh, Jan last_name: Ernerudh - first_name: Jürgen full_name: Neesen, Jürgen last_name: Neesen - first_name: Gerda full_name: Egger, Gerda last_name: Egger - first_name: Mario full_name: Mikula, Mario last_name: Mikula - first_name: Clemens full_name: Röhrl, Clemens last_name: Röhrl - first_name: Alexander E. full_name: Urban, Alexander E. last_name: Urban - first_name: Julie full_name: Baker, Julie last_name: Baker - first_name: Martin full_name: Knöfler, Martin last_name: Knöfler - first_name: Jürgen full_name: Pollheimer, Jürgen last_name: Pollheimer citation: ama: Velicky P, Meinhardt G, Plessl K, et al.
