MechanochemicalSynthesis of [Rh(L)(acac)(CO] Complexes(L = N-Heterocyclic Carbene or Phosphine)

Abstract The mechanochemical synthesis of well-defined [Rh(L)(acac)(CO)] (L = NHC or phosphine) complexes via planetary milling and manual grinding with a mortar and pestle is reported. This solventless protocol, which proceeds via a ligand displacement from [Rh(acac)(CO)2], was...

Distinct gut microbial signatures associated with disease onset and clinical course in Guillain–Barre syndrome

The Gut microbiota is crucial for regulating immune responses in autoimmune neuropathies like Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS). Yet, its influence on disease course and recovery remains unclear. This study examined gut microbiota dysbiosis in 57 GBS patients and 57 age- and gender-m...

Modulating the Optical and Enzymatic Properties of Polydopamine via Valence Engineering of Tungsten Affording NIR‐II Photoacoustic Imaging and Targeted Therapy of Atherosclerosis

ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis (AS) is a risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and early diagnosis and plaque removal are challenges in the management of AS and CVD. To address these challenges, we designed a tungsten‑doped polydopamine nanoparticle (W‐PDA NPs). The ne...

Dynamic Bifunctional Sites on a COF Enable Efficient Immobilization and Conversion of Iodine Species Toward Li‐Iodine Batteries

ABSTRACT The thermodynamic instability of iodine cation (I + ) and shuttle effect of polyiodide in the two‐electron Li‐iodine (Li‐I 2 ) batteries remain an unresolved bottleneck. The design and preparation of an advanced cathode capable of effectively anchoring and activating iod...

Psychologizing, Authority, and Propaganda

Abstract When should we dismiss the reasons agents give for their views and instead invoke alternative psychological or causal explanations for their behavior? Philosophers such as Amy Flowerree and Nicholas Smyth have recently argued that we should generally avoid such dismissiv...

The Shadow Cost of Green Transition: Assessing the Asymmetric Effects of Green HRM Practices on Corporate Syndicated Loan and Bond Issuance Costs

This study interrogates the conceptual tension between the micro level cultivation of green human capital and its macro level monetisation in corporate credit markets, asking whether internally embedded Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices translate into measurable di...

Untargeted 1H-NMR Metabolomics Identifies Candidate Metabolic Changes Associated with Watercress (Nasturtium officinale R.Br.) Supplementation in Adults with Low-to-Moderate Cardiovascular Risk: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial

Background/Objectives: Watercress (Nasturtium officinale R.Br.) is a glucosinolate-rich cruciferous vegetable with reported cardioprotective properties. However, previous human studies have relied on targeted clinical and biochemical biomarkers, limiting insight into its broader...

A Derivation of the Newtonian Gravitational Constant

This paper derives the Newtonian gravitational constant G using a model in which gravitational waves of fundamental wavelength 61.458 fm are generated in the Sun by a spinning magnetic monopole. By considering the propagation of these waves both within and above the ecliptic plan...

Valorization of Paris polyphylla Byproducts: Integrated Multi-Omics and Molecular Docking Reveal the Anti-Melanogenic Mechanism of Plant-Derived Nanovesicles via the AKT/GSK3β/MITF Axis

Valorizing agricultural byproducts into functional ingredients is highly desirable. Herein, plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) from Paris polyphylla stems/leaves (SL-EXO) exhibited potent anti-melanogenic properties, whereas root-derived PDNVs were ineffective. In vitro, SL-EXO a...

High-quality genome assembly and annotation of inactivated animal vaccine bacteria strains in South Korea

Abstract Objectives Production of high-quality biological products depends on the careful selection and consistent management of seed strains. In this study, we generated complete genome sequences of bacterial strains employed in inactivated animal vaccines in South Korea and com...

Functionally Graded Beams Resting on Foundations: A Review of Modelling, Analysis and Future Research Directions

The analysis of beams resting on elastic foundations has attracted significant attention in structural and mechanical engineering due to its extensive applications in different domains. Beams on elastic foundations interact continuously with deformable media. To represent this in...

Middle-Range Theory on Fatigue in Chronic Kidney Disease

This study aimed to develop a middle-range theory (MRT) on the phenomenon of fatigue in individuals with chronic kidney disease. It was a methodological study, conducted through an integrative literature review in Scopus, SciELO, and PubMed databases, which included 41 studies. T...

Enhancing Teacher Resilience and Job Satisfaction in Contemporary Schools: Leadership Strategies for Reducing Burnout and Turnover
