Highlights: [•] The UmTea4 protein has similarity to the fission yeast cell end marker Tea4. [•] UmTea4 contains an RA domain and NLS not found in Tea4 in ascomycetes. [•] UmTea4 controls polarized growth, septation, growth rate, cell wall deposition. [•] Tea4::GFP localizes to sites of polarized growth or potential polarized growth. [•] Tea4 is necessary for pathogenicity of strains that bypass cell fusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wedemonstrated experimentally that graphene–Cu–grapheneheterogeneous films reveal strongly enhanced thermal conductivityas compared to the reference Cu and annealed Cu films. Chemical vapordeposition of a single atomic plane of graphene on both sides of 9μm thick Cu films increases their thermal conductivity by upto 24% near room temperature. Interestingly, the observed improvementof thermal properties of graphene–Cu–graphene heterofilmsresults primarily from the changes in Cu morphology during graphenedeposition rather than from graphene’s action as an additionalheat conducting channel. Enhancement of thermal properties of graphene-cappedCu films is important for thermal management of advanced electronicchips and proposed applications of graphene in the hybrid graphene–Cuinterconnect hierarchies.
