Asymmetric 1,2-Migration at Vicinal Tetrasubstituted Stereocenters Constructed from α-Keto Imines.

A carbonyl-assisted asymmetric 1,2-migratory allylation through in situ generation of vicinal tetrasubstituted stereocenters is reported to access enantiopure α-amino ketones and amino alcohols with excellent yields and diastereoselectivities. In a remarkable divergence, despite higher steric hindrance, the allylation exclusively occurs on ketones over imines in the first step, followed by a face-selective 1,2-allyl transfer, thus highlighting an exciting interplay between two distinct electrophiles. The methodology distinguishes itself through its adaptability to gram-scale synthesis, showcasing broad functional-group tolerance and stereodivergence. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis led to a deeper understanding of its selectivity and mechanistic framework. Highlighting its transformative potential, the method was applied to the total synthesis of hapalindole alkaloids.

Ring Expansion Metathesis Polymerization (REMP) Initiators with an Unusual Ancillary Ligand

AbstractTethered tungsten‐alkylidenes bearing azoimido ligands (M≡Nγ‐Nβ=NαR) are synthesized, characterized, and tested as initiators for ring expansion metathesis polymerization (REMP). While these ligands are typically unstable and prone to dinitrogen loss, this work demonstrates that tethered alkylidene complexes bearing azoimido ligands are stable enough to be REMP initiators. Moreover, they are more efficient, long‐lived, and stereoselective than their corresponding imido derivatives (M≡NR). Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis of the azoimido complexes provides insight into their unusual stability.

Analyzing Brand Strategy on an International Scale: The Sponsorship Performance Cycle in Formula One Racing

Firms from a variety of industries regularly partner with Formula One racing teams to achieve marketing objectives on an international scale. The sponsored properties offer signals of brand foreignness/localness, country of origin, and the potential for highly visible achievements. Firms enter and exit brand partnerships with some of the world's most famous athletes and iconic teams, yet the partnership decision-making process remains opaque, particularly concerning the impact of geographic origin and team performance among other criteria, including macroeconomic conditions and brand-related factors. This study contributes a quantitative model that analyzes 53 years of data encompassing more than 3,000 sponsorships across six continents. The findings improve understanding of brand partnership continuity/dissolution by explicating a shared nationality effect and a link with sponsored organizational performance that is robust across three distinct eras of Formula One. In doing so, the study contributes to theory by completing the sponsorship performance cycle and distilling partnership limits with regard to brand foreignness. The theory and quantitative analyses are buttressed by interviews with brand decision-makers, excerpts from which also shape the discussion of managerial applications. Implications include efficiencies in partner prospecting that enhance the likelihood of enduring brand relationships in sponsorship-linked international marketing.

Education, employment, and care work over adulthood: gendered life course trajectories in Canada and Germany

ABSTRACT This article compares the education, employment, and care work biographical sequences of Canadian and German women and men from late adolescence into mid-adulthood. Through the lenses of comparative gendered life course theory and welfare regime theory, sequence and cluster analyses are used to determine the adult life course sequences of women and men in each country and to assess the extent to which they differ across contexts. The analyses reveal clear gender differences in work–family balance in labour market participation and unpaid care work. Groups also differ strongly on educational attainment, income, and family composition. Comparatively, gender differences are less marked in the Canadian context. These results suggest that differing gendered trajectories result in diverse outcomes depending on the national context, shaping different outcomes for women cross-nationally. Our findings highlight how historical and contemporary country-specific welfare state policies support or hinder women as active and productive members of society.

Multifunctional terahertz device based on plasmon-induced transparency

Enhancing light-matter interaction is crucial in optics for boosting nanophotonic device performance, which can be achieved via plasmon-induced transparency (PIT). In this study, a polarization-insensitive PIT effect at terahertz frequencies is achieved using a novel metasurface composed of a cross-shaped graphene structure surrounded by four graphene strips. The high symmetry of this metasurface ensures its insensitivity to changes in the polarization angle of incident light. The PIT effect, stemming from the coupling of graphene bright modes, was explored through finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations and coupled mode theory (CMT) analysis. By tuning the Fermi level in graphene, we effectively modulated the PIT transparent window, achieving high-performance optical switching with a modulation depth (88.9% < MD < 98.0%) and insertion losses (0.17 dB < IL < 0.51 dB) at a carrier mobility of 2 m2/(V·s). Furthermore, the impact of graphene carrier mobility on the slow-light effect was examined, revealing that increasing the carrier mobility from 0.5 m2/(V·s) to 3 m2/(V·s) boosts the group index from 126 to 781. These findings highlight the potential for developing versatile terahertz devices, such as optical switches and slow-light apparatus.

Development and Validation of the Five-Factor Borderline Inventory-Super Short Form and Screener.

The Five-Factor Borderline Inventory (FFBI) and FFBI-Short Form (FFBI-SF) are 120-item and 48-item measures that assess the underlying maladaptive personality traits of borderline personality disorder (BPD). The purpose of this study was to develop a super short form (FFBI-SSF) and an FFBI-Screener to facilitate the use of dimensional trait measures for BPD. Using item response theory analyses, the 48-item measure was reduced to 22 items using a large undergraduate sample (N = 1300) and then retested using a Mechanical Turk sample (N = 602), demonstrating strong replicability. IRT was again used to further reduce the measure from 22 items to four items to provide a brief screening tool. Correlations of the FFBI-SSF and Screener with measures of BPD-related variables were compared across five samples (N = 919, 204, 580, 281, and 488). Overall, the FFBI-SSF showed similar relations to the FFBI-SF at the full scale and domain-level scales, while the FFBI-screener demonstrated similar relations at the full scale level. This super short form and screener may best be used in large-scale research studies or as part of a screening tool in clinical settings.

On the stability of Einsteinian cubic gravity black holes in EFT

In this note we revisit the analysis performed in De Felice and Tsujikawa (2023 Phys. Lett. B 843 138047) of odd-parity perturbations around static and spherically symmetric black holes in Einsteinian cubic gravity (ECG). We show that the additional propagating modes always have masses much above the cutoff of the theory. Therefore, contrary to what is claimed in that paper, the ECG black holes remain stable within the effective field theory regime. We consider the same analysis for a general cubic theory, showing that the ECG results are not special in this regard. We use the occasion to make some clarifications on the role, uses and limitations of ECG and its generalizations.

The significant others’ responses to trauma scale (SORTS): applying factor analysis and item response theory to a measure of PTSD symptom accommodation

ABSTRACT Background: Symptom accommodation by family members (FMs) of individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) includes FMs’ participation in patients’ avoidance/safety behaviours and constraining self-expression to minimise conflict, potentially maintaining patients’ symptoms. The Significant Others’ Responses to Trauma Scale (SORTS) is the only existing measure of accommodation in PTSD but has not been rigorously psychometrically tested. Objective: We aimed to conduct further psychometric analyses to determine the factor structure and overall performance of the SORTS. Method: We conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses using a sample of N = 715 FMs (85.7% female, 62.1% White, 86.7% romantic partners of individuals with elevated PTSD symptoms). Results: After dropping cross-loading items, results indicated good fit for a higher-order model of accommodation with two factors: an anger-related accommodation factor encompassed items related largely to minimising conflict, and an anxiety-related accommodation factor encompassed items related primarily to changes to the FM’s activities. Accommodation was positively related to PTSD severity and negatively related to relationship satisfaction, although the factors showed somewhat distinct associations. Item Response Theory analyses indicated that the scale provided good information and robust coverage of different accommodation levels. Conclusions: SORTS data should be analysed as both a single score as well as two factors to explore the factors’ potential differential performance across treatment and relationship outcomes.

Theoretical Validation of Non-Noble Cu Sites Integrated on SnO2 Nanoflowers for Enhanced Gas Sensing of Ethanethiol at Room Temperature.

Ethanethiol (EtSH), being highly toxic, flammable, and explosive, poses significant risks to human health and safety and is capable of causing fires and explosions. Room-temperature detection using chemiresistive gas sensors is essential for managing these risks. However, the gas-sensing performance of conventional metal-oxide sensing materials may be limited by their weak interaction with EtSH at room temperature. Herein, SnO2 nanoflowers assembled with non-noble Cu-site-enriched porous nanosheets were designed and prepared by an in situ self-template pyrolysis synthesis strategy to enable highly sensitive and selective room-temperature detection of EtSH. By regulating the number of non-noble Cu sites, these nanoflowers achieved efficient EtSH sensing with a Ra/Rg value of 11.0 at 50 ppb, ensuring high selectivity, reproducibility, and stability at room temperature. Moreover, a comparative analysis of the room-temperature gas-sensing performance of SnO2 nanoflowers with non-noble Fe- or Ni-site-enriched nanosheets highlights the benefits of non-noble Cu sites for EtSH detection. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis reveals that non-noble Cu sites have a unique affinity for EtSH, offering preferential binding over other gases and explaining the outstanding sensing performance of non-noble Cu-site-enriched nanosheet-assembled SnO2 nanoflowers. The structural and interface engineering of the sensing materials presented in this work provides a promising approach for offering efficient and durable gas sensors operable at room temperature.

Sustainable design of photo-Fenton-like oxidation process in actual livestock wastewater through the highly dispersed FeCl3 anchoring on a g-C3N4 substrate

Photocatalytic technology emerges as a promising solution for the sustainable treatment of contaminated wastewater. However, the practical implementation of designed photocatalysts often faces challenges due to the intricate ‘high carbon footprint’ process and limited outdoor laboratory investigations. Herein, a simple yet versatile impregnation approach is proposed to anchor highly dispersed FeCl3 on a g-C3N4 substrate (Fe-C3N4) with minimal energy consumption and post-processing. Fe-C3N4 enhances photocatalytic reactivity for antibiotic degradation via a synergistic photo-Fenton-like oxidation technique, efficiently removing antibiotic pollutants from actual livestock wastewater. The Fe-C3N4 catalyst exhibited consistent degradation performance over five cycles in laboratory conditions, maintaining a degradation efficiency exceeding 90 % for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCHCl). Furthermore, we engineered a straightforward Fe-C3N4Na2SiO3 reactor for treating livestock wastewater, achieving an 81.8 % removal of TCHCl in outdoor field tests conducted in the winter and summer in China. The Fe-C3N4 catalyst demonstrated high feasibility in treating antibiotic-contaminated livestock wastewater under year-round climatic conditions, leveraging synergistic effects. The stabilization of Fe-C3N4 for the degradation of antibiotic-containing wastewater under sunlight represents a significant advancement in the practical application of photocatalysts, marking a crucial milestone from experimental conception to implementation. Acute toxicity estimation suggested that intermediates/products generated exhibited lower toxicity compared to TCHCl, indicating their practical applicability. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis successfully predicted significant electron transfer between Fe-C3N4 and TCHCl, indicating efficient interfacial interactions on the TCHCl surface. To ensure the environmental sustainability of Fe-C3N4, a life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted to compared this photocatalyst with other commonly used emerging photocatalysts. The results demonstrated that Fe-C3N4 exhibits a two orders of magnitude lower CO2 equivalent emission compared to the ZnO photocatalyst, indicating a cost-effective and efficient synergistic photo-Fenton-like catalytic approach. This low-cost photocatalyst, moving from the laboratory to real-world wastewater applications, provides a powerful and more sustainable solution for the efficient treatment of wastewater containing antibiotics from livestock farming.

Tailoring the extension-bending-twisting coupling in composite laminates using carbon nanotube hybridization

The existence of extension-bend-twist coupling of deformations in composites is a complex problem. Ability to tailor the coupling response as per the requirement is desirable to harness the high strength-to-weight ratio of composites in many structural applications. Here we report a feasible design strategy to tune the extent of deformation coupling in composite laminates. To this end, carbon nanotube (CNT) grafted lamina is incorporated in the lay-up of conventional composites. Classical laminate theory (CLT) and finite element analysis show that the coupling extent of extension-twist, extension-bending and extension- bending-twist can be suitably designed by varying the number, location and distribution of CNT grafted lamina in a laminate configuration. Theoretical and computational results reveal maximum extension-twist coupling when a single CNT grafted lamina is placed closer to the mid-plane in a 16 ply antisymmetric laminate. Symmetrical placement of CNT grafted lamina avoids the extension-bend coupling. Finite element analysis shows that the lateral bending of composite cantilever beam under combined axial and bending loads can be designed by suitably choosing the configuration of the modified laminate. These findings will significantly contribute in designing structural composites for advanced applications.

A Spectroscopic and Computational Evaluation of Uranyl Oxo Engagement with Transition Metal Cations.

We report the synthesis and characterization of five novel Cd2+/UO22+ heterometallic complexes that feature Cd-oxo distances ranging from 78 to 171% of the sum of the van der Waals radii for these atoms. This work marks an extension of our previously reported Pb2+/UO22+ and Ag+/UO22+ complexes, yet with much more pronounced structural and spectroscopic effects resulting from Cd-oxo interactions. We observe a major shift in the U═O symmetric stretch and significant uranyl bond length asymmetry. The ρbcp values calculated using Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) support the asymmetry displayed in the structural data and indicate a decrease in covalent character in U═O bonds with close Cd-oxo contacts, more so than in related compounds containing Pb2+ and Ag+. Second-order perturbation theory (SOPT) analysis reveals that O spx → Cd s is the most significant orbital overlap and U═O bonding and antibonding orbitals also contribute to the interaction (U═O σ/π → Cd d and Cd s → U═O σ/π*). The overall stabilization energies for these interactions were lower than those in previously reported Pb2+ cations, yet larger than related Ag+ compounds. Analysis of the equatorial coordination sphere of the Cd2+/UO22+ compounds (along with Pb2+/UO22+ complexes) reveals that 7-coordinate uranium favors closer, stronger Mn+-oxo contacts. These results indicate that U═O bond strength tuning is possible with judicious choice of metal cations for oxo interactions and equatorial ligand coordination.

Local and global well-posedness for fractional porous medium equation in critical Fourier-Besov spaces

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the Fractional Porous Medium Equation in Rn for n ≥ 2. By using the contraction mapping method, Littlewood-Paley theory and Fourier analysis, we get, when 1 β ≤ 2, the local solution v ∈ XT := LT ∞(FBp,r (2 − 2m −β + n/p' )(Rn))∩ LTρ1(FBp,r s1(Rn))∩ LTρ2(FBp,r s2 ( Rn)) with 1 ≤ p &lt; ∞, 1 ≤ r ≤ ∞, and the solution becomes global when the initial data is small in critical Fourier-Besov spaces FBp,r (2 − 2m −β + n/p' )(Rn) . In addition, We establish a blowup criterion for the solutions. Furthermore, the global existence of solutions with small initial data in FB∞,1 (2 − 2m −β + n )(Rn) is also established. In the limit case β = 1, we prove global well-posedness for small initial data in critical Fourier-Besov spaces FBp,1 (2 − 2m + n/p' )(Rn) with 1 ≤ p &lt; ∞ and FB∞,1 (2 − 2m + n )(Rn), respectively.

Impact of Interfacial Transition Zone on Concrete Mechanical Properties: A Comparative Analysis of Multiphase Inclusion Theory and Numerical Simulations

With the increasing implementation of sustainable development strategies, recycled concrete (RC) has garnered attention in research circles due to its substantial environmental and economic advantages. The presence and properties of various interface transition zones (ITZs) in RC play a vital role in its mechanical properties. This research uses a combination of multiphase inclusion theory and finite element numerical simulation to investigate and compare the impact of ITZs on concrete’s mechanical properties. The multiphase inclusion theory offers a theoretical framework for understanding ITZ behavior in concrete, categorizing it into new mortar, old mortar, new ITZ, old ITZ, and natural aggregate based on meso-structure. With simplified RC at the mesoscale, the study accurately predicts the mechanical properties of RC by adjusting the elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and thickness of new and old ITZ models. Through finite element simulation and theoretical validation, the study achieves a minimal error of 6.24% in predicting the elastic modulus and 1.75% in predicting Poisson’s ratio. These results highlight the effectiveness of multiphase inclusion theory in capturing the meso-structure characteristics of RC and forecasting its macroscopic mechanical behavior while comprehensively considering the complexity of ITZs.

Computational investigation of Y. aloifolia variegate as anti-Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) targeting HIV-1 protease: A multiscale in-silico exploration

IntroductionHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a global challenge for the health sector due to the absence of a definitive cure. More than 38 million people are affected by the disease worldwide, with approximately 1.5 million new cases reported annually. This situation has spurred continued efforts in searching for drug candidates. Meanwhile, rutin, luteolin, and quercetin are compounds known for efficacy in treating infectious diseases. The compounds have also been detected in Yucca aloifolia (絲蘭) variegate L. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a computational investigation utilizing multiscale in silico exploration to assess the potential of Y. aloifolia as an anti-HIV agent targeting HIV-1 Protease (H1P). MethodsFor the in silico study, the three-dimensional structure of H1P (PDB: 5V4Y) was retrieved and prepared using YASARA Structure. The binding pockets were identified using Cavity Plus server, and ligands were obtained from Y. aloifolia leaves alcohol extract. Furthermore, molecular docking was conducted with YASARA Structure to predict binding energies, followed by QSAR analysis for activity prediction. Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis was performed to assess stability and reactivity, while toxicity was evaluated using ProTox 3.0. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and Molecular Mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann Surface Area (MM-PBSA) calculation were also conducted for further analysis. ResultsThe results showed that Ramachandran plot analysis indicated favorable residue distribution based on the evaluation of enzyme preparation quality. Cavity Plus identified potential binding sites, with cavity no.2 showing the highest druggability. Molecular docking showed rutin and isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside as top binders to H1P, with favorable binding energies. Moreover, post-docking analysis produced specific interactions between ligands and the receptor. PASS prediction indicated the potential of rutin and isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside (narcissin) as H1P inhibitors. DFT analysis assessed stability, showing comparable values for the investigated compounds. Toxicity analysis suggested both compounds to be non-toxic. Finally, MD simulation demonstrated the superior stability and binding affinity of rutin compared to isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside and the control drug, grl-09510. DiscussionRutin, hecogenin, and isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside from Y. aloifolia (絲蘭) leaves showed potential as H1P inhibitors through in silico study. Docking simulations indicated that rutin had the most favorable binding interactions, while MD simulation showed only the rutin-H1P complex to be stable, signifying the potential for further drug development. Rutin was identified as a promising lead for H1P inhibition due to its strong binding, stability, and predicted safety properties, underscoring the need for wet lab validation.

Amīna and the Breaking of the Secular Silence: Revisiting The Cairo Trilogy by Naguib Mahfouz

ABSTRACT Following critiques of secularism, feminist theory and literary analysis, this article revisits the much interpreted yet never exhausted Arabic masterpiece, the Cairo Trilogy (1956–1957), by Nobel laureate Naguib Mahfouz (1911–2006). The Cairo Trilogy depicts the lives of the middle-class ʿAbd al-Jawād family in colonial Cairo during the interwar period amidst the process of modernization and national uprising against British colonial domination. Scholars have considered the relations in the Jawādī family through a patriarchal lens via the perspective of the son Kamāl, the protagonist who represents the secular Arab intellectual. This study, instead, follows Amīna, the mother of the family, and her relationship to her two sons, Kamāl and Fahmy, to explore the different options and various relations between the religious and the secular in this colonial context. By reading the Jawādī family this way, this article uncovers the orientalist-secular construction of religion and religious ways of resistance despite colonial disruptions.

Medication Literacy Test for Older Adults: psychometric analysis and standardization of the new instrument.

Low medication literacy is prevalent among older adults and is associated with adverse drug events. The Medication Literacy Test for Older Adults (TELUMI) was developed and content validated in a previously published study. To evaluate the psychometric properties and provide norms for TELUMI scores. This was a cross-sectional methodological study with older adults selected from the community and from two outpatient services. Descriptive item-analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), item response theory (IRT), reliability, and validity analysis with schooling and health literacy were performed to test the psychometric properties of the TELUMI. The classification of the TELUMI scores was performed using percentile norms. A total of 344 participants, with a mean age of 68.7years (standard deviation = 6.7), were included; most were female (66.6%), black/brown (61.8%), had low schooling level (60.2%) and low income (55.2%). The EFA pointed to the one-dimensional structure of TELUMI. A three-parameter logistic model was adopted for IRT. All items had an adequate difficulty index. One item had discrimination < 0.65, and three items had an unacceptable guessing index (< 0.35) and were excluded. The 29-item version of TELUMI had excellent internal consistency (KR20 = 0.89). There was a positive and strong association between TELUMI scores and health literacy and education level. The scores were classified as inadequate medication literacy (≤ 10.0 points), medium medication literacy (11-20 points), and adequate medication literacy (≥ 21 points). The results suggest that the 29-item version of TELUMI is psychometrically adequate for measuring medication literacy in older adults.

Topological Organization of the Brain Network in Patients with Primary Angle-closure Glaucoma Through Graph Theory Analysis.

Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a sight-threatening eye condition that leads to irreversible blindness. While past neuroimaging research has identified abnormal brain function in PACG patients, the relationship between PACG and alterations in brain functional networks has yet to be explored. This study seeks to examine the influence of PACG on brain networks, aiming to advance knowledge of its neurobiological processes for better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches utilizing graph theory analysis. A cohort of 44 primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients and 44 healthy controls participated in this study. Functional brain networks were constructed using fMRI data and the Automated Anatomical Labeling 90 template. Subsequently, graph theory analysis was employed to evaluate global metrics, nodal metrics, modular organization, and network-based statistics (NBS), enabling a comparative analysis between PACG patients and the control group. The analysis of global metrics, including small-worldness and network efficiency, did not exhibit significant differences between the two groups. However, PACG patients displayed elevated nodal metrics, such as centrality and efficiency, in the left frontal superior medial, right frontal superior medial, and right posterior central brain regions, along with reduced values in the right temporal superior gyrus region compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, Module 5 showed notable disparities in intra-module connectivity, while Module 1 demonstrated substantial differences in inter-module connectivity with both Module 7 and Module 8. Noteworthy, the NBS analysis unveiled a significantly altered network when comparing the PACG and healthy control groups. The study proposes that PACG patients demonstrate variations in nodal metrics and modularity within functional brain networks, particularly affecting the prefrontal, occipital, and temporal lobes, along with cerebellar regions. However, an analysis of global metrics suggests that the overall connectivity patterns of the entire brain network remain unaltered in PACG patients. These results have the potential to serve as early diagnostic and differential markers for PACG, and interventions focusing on brain regions with high degree centrality and nodal efficiency could aid in optimizing therapeutic approaches.
