Using an Earth-abundant transition metal to mediate formation and splitting of C-C σ-bonds, in response to electrical stimuli, constitutes a promising strategy to construct complex organic skeletons. Here, we showcase how [nBu4N][N3] reacts with an isocyanide adduct of a tetrahedral and high-spin TiII complex, [(TptBu,Me)TiCl] (1), to enact N-atom transfer, C-N bond formation, and C-C coupling, to

Scientists may benefit from implementing interdisciplinary and multi-method approaches when studying loneliness. Loneliness is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by biological, psychological, social, cultural, and political factors. In addition, it also reflects and impacts personal and local experiences as well as broader social forces, thus being both universal and contextual at the same ti

Forest wind damage models are typically based on the assumption that windstorm damage results from the interaction between horizontal wind forces and forest stand properties. In complex terrain, mountain waves caused by stably stratified air flowing over mountains can generate standing waves and severe downslope windstorms on the leeward side. Using the windstorm of 19 November 2021 in a mountain

This study examines farmers' willingness to sell straw for energy and material applications in Scania, Sweden. Using interviews and surveys, we tested three empirical consequences derived from the premise that missing data on farmers' willingness to sell straw for energy may misrepresent the biomass supply in potential assessments. Findings reveal willingness to sell straw depends on end use, with

Excited states in the proton drip line nucleus 61Ga were populated via the fusion-evaporation reaction 24Mg(40Ca,p2n)61Ga. The experimental setup at Argonne National Laboratory comprised a novel combination of the Gammasphere array with two CD-shaped double-sided Si-strip detectors inside the Microball CsI(Tl) charged-particle detection array, as well as the Neutron-Shell liquid scintillators and

Subdural hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhages, and encephalopathy are associated with the medical diagnosis of abusive head trauma. These findings have also been observed in children exposed to admitted or witnessed shaking. There are various suggested mechanisms behind these findings. One mechanism is exclusive to intentional shaking, while the other suggested mechanisms are compatible with both inten

BACKGROUND: Sharp force injuries display varying patterns depending on the manner of death (homicide, suicide, accidental). The purpose of this study was to analyse forensic autopsy data to examine the characteristics of sharp force injuries on the extremities, to differentiate between different manners of death and to examine demographic differences.METHODS: This retrospective cohort study utiliz

Background The nomenclature and execution of peritonectomy procedures for peritoneal surface malignancies significantly vary between surgeons and centres. The aim of this consensus was to reach uniform nomenclature for peritonectomy procedures, to define subregions of each peritonectomy procedure, and to define boundaries of each subregion. Methods The modified Delphi technique was employed. A gro

Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has

Introduction: Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is primarily treated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT), but surgery can be curative following treatment failure. The treatment of ASCC was centralised in Sweden in 2017. This study aims to describe the characteristics and outcomes of surgery for ASCC nationally, focusing on short-term morbidity and mortality. Materials and Methods: All patients with ASC

Background: The increased prevalence of atopic diseases may be due to lifestyle changes affecting our exposure to microbes. We investigated the association between infections, fever, and atopic diseases in a large international birth cohort setting. Methods: 3842 children at genetic risk for type 1 diabetes were followed prospectively for the first 10 years for the occurrence of infections and ato

Aims Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a significant complication that contributes to both morbidity and mortality after heart transplantation. The aim of this study was to (i) assess if quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial perfusion could detect different stages of CAV and (ii) establish a myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) cut-off for significant CAV. Methods and

Solvers’ participation is essential for successful implementation of crowdsourcing contests for problem solving (CCPS). Many efforts have been made to investigate solvers’ various participation behaviours in CCPS. Whether or not a solver will conduct a behaviour is the result of decision making. However, to our knowledge, few studies concentrated on solvers’ participation from a decision process p

INTRODUCTION: Blood-based biomarkers (BBMs) have revolutionized Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and monitoring. Their pre-analytical stability requires scrutiny. This study assessed pre-analytical effects to inform a standardized sample handling protocol. METHODS: Assessed pre-analytical variations included collection tube type, hemolysis, centrifugation settings, centrifugation/storage delays, tube
