Use of Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds as Electrophotocatalysts in Organic Reactions

Electrophotocatalysis is the latest offshoot of two of the most innovative synthetic approaches in modern organic chemistry: on one hand, photoredox catalysis, which harnesses light to activate small molecules and construct new carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bonds; and on th...

Synergistic π–π Stacking and Hydrogen Bonding of Doxorubicin Electrostatically Bound to Sodium Alginate Drive the Formation of Supramolecular Nanoparticles with Exceptional Drug Loading

Doxorubicin hydrochloride (DX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent whose severe side effects can be attenuated by suitably designing drug delivery systems. The complexation between DX and the biocompatible and biodegradable sodium alginate (ALG) results in the formation of DX...

Emerging Strategies for Bioprinting Organized Musculoskeletal Tissues with Biomimetic Collagen Architecture

Collagen fiber organization is critical to the biomechanical function of musculoskeletal tissues. This has motivated increased interest in tissue engineering strategies aiming to recapitulate native collagen architecture in order to generate more biomimetic grafts. In particular,...

An Analysis of the VAT Structure in Bangladesh: The Tax Justice Perspective

Value added tax (VAT) accounts for 39% of tax revenue in Bangladesh, yet overall revenue mobilization has fallen to 6.6% of GDP (the lowest in South Asia) while inequality continues to rise. This study assesses Bangladesh’s VAT structure through the lens of tax justice using a mi...

Patterns of re-presentations to Tasmanian emergency departments for suicidal behaviour

Objective: To examine sociodemographic and episode-of-care characteristics among individuals presenting with suicidal behaviour who re-present to emergency departments in Tasmania, Australia. Methods: Emergency department presentations related to suicidal behaviour from 1 January...

FAMILY LONELINESS AND THE ORPHAN MOTIF IN THE NARRATIVE STRUCTURE OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITISH PROSE

Drawing on the novels of Charles Dickens (Oliver Twist, David Copperfield), Charlotte Brontë (Jane Eyre), Lewis Carroll's fairy-tale novella Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, the article examines family loneliness as one of the forms...

Elevated Outdoor O3 Can Sustain New Particle Formation and Growth Indoors

Abstract Ultrafine particles and submicron aerosol mass negatively impact human health; while indoor primary sources are known, secondary aerosol formation from oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is an important, but less understood, exposure source. Previous studies...

Good Vibrations: A Fortunate Journey in Reaction Dynamics

My professional life owes a great deal to the popular attitudes about science during my youth. As member of the baby boom generation, I benefited from a national commitment to the progress of science and the creation of institutions to support research. The path that took me into...

Admission-time prediction of 7-day mortality in clinician-attributed hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage: development and external validation against the ICH score

Early mortality after intracerebral haemorrhage remains difficult to estimate at admission. We developed models for recorded mortality within 7 days after admission in two retrospective cohorts of clinician-attributed hypertensive intracerebral haemorrhage. Qingyuan records ( n =...

IDEAL-GENOM: integrated downstream analytical toolkit for genomic analysis

Abstract There has been an exponential increase in the development of technologies that have offered unprecedented opportunities to unravel the genetic underpinnings of complex traits. However, despite the progress and availability of tools, there are still several challenges to...

Impact of Postbariatric Body Contouring Procedures on Patient Body Weight and Metabolism

Background: Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment that induces substantial and sustained weight loss through restriction, malabsorption, and hormonal mechanisms that regulate appetite and energy balance. This study aimed to assess the role of body contouring surgery in enha...

Intersectional justice as a guiding principle for feminist ecological economics

Ecological economics focuses on provisioning for a good life for all within planetary boundaries. Feminist ecological economists have long highlighted the relevance of unpaid care work, times beyond linear clock time, and social-ecological provisioning towards this same end. In t...

Hidden in historical sources: Rediscovering the thorny oyster (Spondylus gaederopus Linnaeus, 1758) in art, archives, and cultural knowledge

The thorny oyster ( Spondylus gaederopus ), a Mediterranean bivalve prised during prehistoric times for its distinctive spiny purple shell, has since been overlooked in cultural and scientific records. Frequently depicted in Early Modern still-life paintings, particularly in Ital...

Comparison of Muscular Co-Activation Indexes in Karate Gyaku Tsuki Punch Under Impact and No-Impact Conditions

Muscle co-activation in karate athletes is considered a complex neuromuscular control mechanism that ensures a balance among maximal punch velocity, joint stability, and movement accuracy. The strategy of muscle co-activation during striking movements under different conditions l...

The Financial Fragility of Complex Economies

ABSTRACT This paper provides an early warning exercise suggesting that in complex economies characterized by the production of knowledge‐intensive products, financial crises are more frequent, even after considering standard predictors of crises. I relate findings to standard con...
