Abstract In this work, we theoretically investigated GaN-based terahertz quantum cascade laser (THz QCL) structure, modeled for growth along the non-polar m-plane. The design employs the split-well direct-phonon (SWDP) scheme and is analyzed using the Non-equilibrium Green’s Function (NEGF) approach.

Abstract Telomere biology disorders (TBDs) are characterized by bone marrow failure (BMF) and dysfunctional telomeres. So far, inherited mutations in 18 genes have been identified in TBDs. Here, we describe a child presenting with early BMF, immunodeficiency, and severely short and defective telomeres, carrying a homozygous splicing mutation (c.409-2 A > G; p.Q136_K138del) in RPA2 – a known replication factor and telomerase accessory factor.
