Design, Synthesis,and Fungicidal Activity of Novelα-Methylene-γ-Butyrolactone Derivatives BearingBenzofuran-2-yl Moiety

Abstract A series of 30 novel α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone (MBL) derivatives were designed and synthesized. Bioassays revealed that several compounds exhibited potent fungicidal activities against Valsa mali, Rhizoctonia solani, and Phytophthora capsici. A25 showed the highest act...

A Magnetic MolecularlyImprinted Electrochemical Sensorfor Glycoprotein Detection via the Glutaraldehyde Cross-Linking Strategy

Abstract Magnetic electrochemical sensors (MECs) are robust bioanalytical devices because of their high selectivity, strong antifouling ability, low cost, and simple operation properties. However, since many biomolecules are nonelectroactive, achieving their electrochemical deter...

Tertiary Hydroxylaminesas Bifunctional Single-NitrogenSources for De Novo Spirooxindole Synthesis

Abstract We herein report a palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction that enables the de novo synthesis of spirooxindoles from simple ortho-iodoaniline derivatives, in which tertiary O-benzoyl hydroxylamines serve as bifunctional single-nitrogen sources through sequential C–H diamina...

Prediction of Compressive Strength of CSGR Based on Optimized Machine Learning with Sparrow Search Algorithm

Abstract Cemented sand, gravel, and rock (CSGR) is an emerging dam material, and accurately predicting its compressive strength is essential for reliable mix-proportion design. Using 342 experimentally measured samples, this study develops an SSA-optimized machine-learning framew...

Bisphenol F ExposureInduces Ovarian Ferroptosis viathe ERβ–ATM–Ferritinophagy Axis

Abstract Bisphenol F (BPF) has rapidly emerged as a primary substitute for bisphenol A (BPA) and a ubiquitous environmental contaminant, yet its reproductive toxicity remains poorly understood, particularly at low doses. Here, we demonstrate that oral exposure to BPF (as low as 2...

Still a soldier: Navigating military identity during incarceration

Incarcerated veterans are a unique segment of the prison population, but despite growing research, the voices of incarcerated veterans remain largely absent from literature. Drawing upon Narrative Identity Theory, this study examines how veterans construct and negotiate their mil...
