(3 + 2) Annulation of Indane-1,3-Dione-Based Spiro Donor–Acceptor Cyclopropanes with Thioureas: Entry to Iminodihydrothiophenes and Thienobenzazepinediones

Abstract Spiro donor–acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) based on an indane-1,3-dione moiety underwent atypical ring cleavage during their Yb(OTf)3-catalyzed (3 + 2) annulation with thioureas. The gem-diamino tetrahydrothiophene intermediates initially formed in the annulation spontane...

Interlaminar Contralateral Endoscopic Foraminotomy Reduces Postoperative Dysesthesia in Patients With Degenerative Lumbar Deformity: A Multicenter Comparative Cohort Study

Study Design Retrospective-prospective multicenter comparative cohort study. Objectives Postoperative dysesthesia (POD) is a recognized complication of transforaminal endoscopic lumbar surgery, with reported rates up to 21.5%. Degenerative lumbar deformity may amplify this risk t...

Flexible Room‐Temperature Phosphorescent Materials With Matrix‐Independent Luminescence Enabled by Host–Guest Encapsulation

ABSTRACT Flexible room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials hold great promise for a wide range of optical applications. However, the strong interdependence between luminescent and mechanical properties severely hampers further advances in this field. Herein, we report a γ...

Multisite Extraocular Dryness is Associated with Symptomatic Dry Eye and Tear-Film Instability Among Adults Without Severe Meibomian Gland Loss

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether a greater number of self-reported extraocular dryness sites is associated with Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI)-defined symptomatic dry eye and non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT)-defined tear-film instability among community-dwelling adults wi...

A Sesquiterpenoid from Schizophyllum commune Protects C17.2 Neural Stem Cells Against Oxidative Stress Through Modulation of GPCR-Associated Signaling Pathways

The chemical constituents and neuroprotective potential of Schizophyllum commune remain insufficiently characterized. Therefore, we isolated and identified five secondary metabolites (A–E) from S. commune, and investigated their neuroprotective activities and underlying mechanism...

Evaluation of Multi-Breed Allometric Energy Formulations Against Published Calorimetric Expenditure Data in Canines

This paper discloses in full the allometric energy model that sizes the daily nutrient target for a residual micronutrient correction, and traces the provenance of every constant in it. Daily maintenance energy is sized as MER = 98 · BW^0.64 · M for dogs and 90 · BW^0.67 · M for...

Membrane Lipid Remodeling in Non-Saccharomyces Wine Yeasts Under Ethanol Stress: From Mechanism Toward a Predictive Lipid Signature

Non-Saccharomyces yeasts shape the aroma, freshness, and reduced-alcohol profiles of wines, yet their oenological contribution is curtailed by a poor tolerance to ethanol. Because ethanol acts on the plasma membrane, the cell’s selective barrier, this limitation is rooted in the...

The promise of dwelling – Affective encounters with ‘not yet’ data

Research on affective encounters is necessarily embodied and entangled with elusive, often affect-drenched data. In this paper, we show how our study of Zagreb’s Museum of Broken Relationships benefited from methodological innovations in organisational studies involving affective...

Wolffia globosa-Fortified Hydrogels for Extrusion-Based 3D Food Printing: Effects of Particle Microstructure and Process Parameters on Dimensional Fidelity

This study investigated and optimized the operational process parameters of an extrusion-based 3D food printing system to maximize the dimensional fidelity of newly developed Wolffia globosa (duckweed) starch hydrogel constructs relative to a nominal target specification of 30 ×...

Pyridinium Cations Act as Charge Reservoirs in Expanded Halide Perovskite Analogs at High Pressure

ABSTRACT Introducing charge reservoirs within semiconductors is a promising strategy for controlled electronic doping. We previously showed that dmpz 2+ ( N , N ’‐dimethylpyrazinium) molecules placed within the cavities of an expanded analog of halide perovskites, (dmpz)[Sn 2 I 6...

Coding protocol: provenance of quantified binding provisions in Trondheim statutory planning instruments

Deposited coding protocol for a single-case study of the provenance of quantified binding provisions in Trondheim, Norway. The protocol fixes, before any provision was coded: the unit of analysis; a three-kinds qualification separating binding-substantive from binding-procedural...

“A dicey situation:” asymptomatic hypertensive urgency caused by DICER1 mutation–derived cystic nephroma in a 12-month-old

Abstract Cystic nephroma (CN) in pediatric patients is a rare, benign, multi-lobular cystic mass often indicative of DICER1 tumor predisposition syndrome. This condition is caused by a germline mutation of the DICER1 gene and requires appropriate follow-up to monitor for other DI...

N-Acetylcysteine Attacks Phenoloxidase to Inhibit Insect Melanization and Boost Fungal Virulence

The prophenoloxidase (PPO) melanization cascade is a cornerstone of insect humoral immunity against fungal pathogens, yet its direct fungicidal mechanism remains undefined, and strategies to safely manipulate this pathway for biological control are lacking. Here, we demonstrate t...

E8 Quantum Architecture Governs Biological Phase Transitions in DNA — E8 Intelligence Research

The 240 E8 root vectors encoded in phi-harmonic 132 Hz frequency networks define geometric constraints for quantum superposition states in DNA base-pair vibrations. These root vectors project onto genomic phase spaces as discrete Fourier modes that stabilize specific hydrogen bon...

Navigating Psychological Vulnerabilities: A Qualitative Exploration of Gifted and Talented Students’ and School Counsellors’ Perspectives in Malaysia

This qualitative study explored the psychological vulnerabilities of gifted and talented students in Malaysia. Within a constructivist paradigm, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten gifted and talented students (IQ >130) and five school counsellors. Reflexive themat...

AIS-Based Forecasting of STEAM-Estimated Ship CO2 Emissions for Sustainable Maritime Transportation Using a Spatio-Temporal Graph Transformer

Accurate short-horizon forecasting of ship CO2 emissions is important for maritime carbon monitoring, operational assessment, and the transition toward sustainable maritime transportation. However, reliable forecasting remains challenging because ship emissions are affected by te...

A COMPARISON BETWEEN A PROPOSED MULTIPLICATION FORMULA AND TRADITIONAL ALGORITHMS FOR TEACHING MULTIPLICATION IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

This paper describes a place-value procedure for multiplying non-negative integers. Each number is split into its units digit and the block of digits to its left. The calculation then uses three parts: the product of the units digits, the sum of the two cross-products, and the pr...

The epigenome of the postnatal male germline: A double-edged sword between flexibility and stability

Abstract Epigenetic regulation is central to cell development and functions in multicellular organisms. In the male gonads of mice, it contributes to the control of spermatogenesis, the process of spermatozoa production by differentiation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) and s...
