Scalable proxies of 3D genome interactions, such as from single-cell co-accessibility or Deep Learning, systematically overestimate long-range chromatin contacts. To correct this bias, we introduce a penalty function grounded in polymer physics, derived by fitting a multi-component power-law model to experimental Hi-C data from maize, rice, and soybean. This correction substantially improves concordance with Hi-C, reduces false-positive rates of long-range interactions by up to 95%, and reveals distinct decay exponents corresponding to different scales of chromatin organization. We provide open-source code and derived parameters to facilitate broad application across plant species.

Ru-based electrochemiluminescence (ECL) coordination polymers are widely employed for bioanalysis and medical diagnosis. However, commonly used Ru-based coordination polymers face the limitation of low efficiency due to the long distance between the ECL reagent and the coreactant dispersed in detecting solution. Herein, we report a dual-ligand self-enhanced ECL coordination polymer, composed of tris(4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) dichloride (Ru(dcbpy)) as ECL reactant ligand and ethylenediamine (EDA) as corresponding coreactant ligand into Zn metal node, termed Zn-Ru-EDA.

Introduction: Royal jelly (RJ) has been consumed as food or as a supplement because of its high nutritional and medicinal values. A fresh harvested RJ is yellowish to whitish in color and contains proteins, free amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and sugar. Without proper storage conditions, such as at 4°C, the color of RJ changes to much darker yellow and produces a rancid smell.

The microstructure of segregated carbon in silicon oxycarbide (SiOC), hot-pressed at = 1600 °C and = 50 MPa, has been investigated by VIS Raman spectroscopy (λ = 514 nm) within the temperature range 25-1000 °C in air. The occurrence of the G, D' and D bands at 1590, 1620 and 1350 cm, together with a lateral crystal size < 10 nm and an average distance between lattice defects ≈ 8 nm, provides evidence that carbon exists as nano-crystalline phase in SiOC containing 11 and 17 vol % carbon. Both samples show a linear red shift of the G band up to the highest temperature applied, which is in agreement with the description of the anharmonic contribution to the lattice potential by the modified Tersoff potential.
