Amino-functionalised β-diketiminate ligands (N-nacnacs): Synthesis and coordination chemistry with Main Group elements by Huan, D

“…UV-induced P─C bond cleavage generates the bicyclic germylene 4; the formation of which is proposed by DFT calculations to proceed via either a concerted mechanism (attack of the backbone C─C bond on phosphorus with accompanied loss of CO), or a step-wise pathway involving a germaphosphinidene intermediate.…”

Staphylococci of the Skin: Consequences for Host Health by Khadka, Veda D.

“…Together, these works suggest a mechanism by which the skin microbiome can exacerbate disease during barrier damage, such as during AD, and describe the underlying dynamics of the skin microbiome during treatment for AD.…”

Emergence, Formation and Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter by Scheihing Hitschfeld, Bruno Sebastian

“…The second contribution we make is the development of tools to understand the process of hydrodynamization in QCD kinetic theory and their application to a simplified description where only a subset of the QCD scattering mechanisms are included. By doing this, we learn that the process of hydrodynamization in this theory, and specifically, how memory of the initial condition is lost, follows the recently proposed Adiabatic Hydrodynamization scenario. …”

Protein Folding, Host Cell Proteostasis, and Viral Evolution by Yoon, Jimin

“…Second, I focus on an important immune-escape variant of influenza nucleoprotein whose fitness depends on host chaperones, and reveal the underlying molecular mechanism of the chaperon dependence. Finally, I demonstrate how chaperone machineries can determine the host range of viruses, and provide potential pathways viruses can evolve to overcome this selection pressure. …”

Tectonic influences on late Holocene relative sea levels from the central-eastern Adriatic coast of Croatia by Shaw, Timothy Adam, Plater, Andrew J., Kirby, Jason R., Roy, Keven, Holgate, Simon, Tutman, Pero, Cahill, Niamh, Horton, Benjamin Peter

“…Here, we compare reconstructions of RSL from the central-eastern Adriatic coast of Croatia with ICE-7G_NA (VM7) glacial-isostatic model RSL predictions to assess underlying driving mechanisms of RSL change during the past ∼ 2700 years. …”

Postprandial glucose, insulin and incretin responses differ by test meal macronutrient ingestion sequence (pattern study) by Sun, Lijuan, Goh, Hui Jen, Govindharajulu, Priya, Leow, Melvin Khee-Shing, Henry, Christiani Jeyakumar

“…Background: Previous studies have shown that the sequential order of consuming different food components significantly impacts postprandial glucose and insulin excursions in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, but the causative mechanisms in healthy humans remain ill-defined. Objective: Using a typical Asian meal comprising vegetables, protein (chicken breast), and carbohydrate (white rice), the aim of this study was to examine the effect of food intake sequence on postprandial glucose, insulin and incretin secretions in healthy adults. …”

Patch repair technology with sacrificial zinc anodes in RC slabs with corroded steel bars by Christian, Alvin

“…This is because the application of patch repair inadvertently introduces an additional corrosion mechanism. Steel reinforcement corrosion can be significantly reduced by implementing sacrificial anodes which are made from less noble materials than steel reinforcement to divert majority of corrosion activity to the anodes. …”
