In this manuscript, we create a new hetero dyad consisting of two electron acceptors with nearly isoenergetic HOMO and LUMO levels, namely perylene diimide (PDI) and aza dioxa triangulenium (ADOTA). This dyad system displays an unusual and reversible excited state electron transfer process. Upon excitation, the dyad shows complete energy transfer from the locally excited PDI to the ADOTA moiety in
Background: 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and the Folate Leucovorin (LV) form the chemotherapy backbone for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Tumoral expression of specific folate-associated genes is associated with the risk of recurrence in stage III CRC following adjuvant 5-FU/LV (FLV)-based combination chemotherapy according to the Nordic bolus regimen. The aim was to evaluate whether expression of
Background and ObjectivesSurvival estimates for individuals with Alzheimer disease (AD) are informative to understand the disease trajectory, but precise estimates for atypical AD variants are scarce. Atypical AD variants are characterized by nonamnestic phenotypes, an early onset, and lower prevalence of APOEϵ4 carriership, which affect the AD trajectory. We aimed to provide survival estimates fo
Intercalation is a robust approach for modulating the properties of epitaxial graphene on SiC and stabilizing two-dimensional intercalant layers at the graphene/SiC interface. In this paper, we present synchrotron-based angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements focusing on the band structure of intercalated Pb under a single layer of epitaxial graphene. The interlayer Pb exhib
A diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) is an established treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The starch- and sucrose-reduced diet (SSRD) is a newer, promising diet. Nutrients influence the production of gut hormones, which affect gastrointestinal motility. This study aimed to investigate the changes in copeptin, leptin, PAI-1, C-peptide, and insul
Analogical reasoning is a form of non-deductive reasoning that gives special weight to similarity considerations. Here, we pursue an approach to formalizing this type of reasoning that was initiated by Carnap in posthumously published work. In it, Carnap abandoned his long-time project of trying to define inductive and analogical reasoning syntactically and introduced attribute spaces to model the
Microbial biofilm formation can contribute to the accelerated deterioration of steel-reinforced concrete structures and significantly impact their service life, making it critical to understand the diversity of the biofilm community and prevailing processes in these habitats. Here, we analyzed 16S rRNA gene amplicon and metagenomics sequencing data to study the abundance and diversity of nitrifier
This paper describes the evaluation of newly created pedagogical programs for early-career educators delivered by academic developers (ADs) in two universities in Central Europe. Initially conceived as an evaluation of the program’s effectiveness, iterative analysis led to acknowledgment of the importance of context for the impact of these programs. We recognize prevalent educational choice archit
We report the discovery of TOI-3493 b, a sub-Neptune-sized planet on an 8.15-d orbit transiting the bright (V=9.3) G0 star HD 119355 (aka TIC 203377303) initially identified by NASA's TESS space mission. With the aim of confirming the planetary nature of the transit signal detected by TESS and determining the mass of the planet, we performed an intensive Doppler campaign with the HARPS spectrograp
Background: The textile dye mix (TDM) 6.6% in petrolatum contains Disperse Blue (DB) 35, Disperse Yellow 3, Disperse Orange (DO) 1 and 3, Disperse Red 1 and 17, and DB 106 and 124. The most frequent allergen in TDM-positive patients is DO 3. Around 85% of para-phenylenediamine (PPD)-allergic dermatitis patients have been positive to DO 3. There has been a discussion to exclude DO 3 from TDM 6.6% b
Hydrogen migration is a ubiquitous phenomenon upon dissociation of organic molecules. Here we investigate the formation of a H3O+ fragment after core-level photoionization and Auger decay in aminobenzoic acid molecules - a process that requires the migration of at least two hydrogen atoms. Using photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy, the formation of a H3O+ fragment is observed to be mor
Aims Cardiac telerehabilitation addresses common barriers for attendance at exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR). Pragmatic real-world studies are however lacking, limiting generalizability of available evidence. We aimed to evaluate feasibility, safety, and patient perceptions of remotely delivered EBCR in a multicentre clinical practice setting after myocardial infarction (MI). Methods a
This article combines insights from two emerging literatures on transnational private regulation: the grounding perspective and politics and power in global value chains. Drawing on a case study conducted in Turkey, it examines political economy of voluntary sustainability standards in hazelnut production, a critical but overlooked part of the chocolate value chain with no shortage of human rights
Transition metal oxides, with their wide range of electronic and magnetic properties, offer a remarkable platform for developing future electronics based on unconventional quantum phenomena, such as topological phases. The formation of topologically nontrivial states is linked to crystalline symmetry, spin-orbit coupling, and magnetic ordering. Here, by employing angle-resolved photoemission spect
Precision nutrition is a vibrant and rapidly evolving field of scientific research and innovation with the potential to deliver health, societal and economic benefits by improving healthcare delivery and policies. Advances in deep phenotyping technologies, digital tools and artificial intelligence have made possible early proof-of-concept research that expands the understanding of within- and betw
The study examines the narratives of the Decembrist revolt created in and around Russian state-funded cinema. By exploring the narratives surrounding a particular instance of political dissent in the past, the research seeks to uncover the factors that impact on the negotiation of cultural memory between the text and the audience in the context of state-influenced media. This exploration is based
Background: Long COVID is a complex, heterogeneous syndrome affecting over four hundred million people globally. There are few recommendations, and no formal training exists for medical professionals to assist with clinical evaluation and management of patients with Long COVID. More research into the pathology, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of Long COVID, and treatments is needed. The goal of
In this paper, I explore similarities and differences between contemporary transphobic and anti-Jewish discourses. While scholars have shown entanglements between homophobic and antisemitic discourses in the European 19th century, as well as similarities between contemporary homonationalist and Western philosemitic discourses, less attention has been paid to how anti-trans and anti-Jewish discours
Dynamic interference is an elusive strong-field effect where photoelectrons from intense laser pulses interfere in time, forming rich kinetic energy patterns. Here, we present the first experimental demonstration of isolated dynamic interference using a novel two-color scheme: chirped laser-assisted dynamic interference. Isolation was achieved with a crossed-polarization setup combining an extreme
There exists a knowledge gap in the literature on how international actors address artificial intelligence (AI) in international sustainability governance. By addressing this gap and bringing a critical perspective, this paper aims to enrich discussions on AI within international relations. First, this paper shows that the development and deployment of AI-based technologies are mainly seen as an o
