Diastereoselective hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes enabled by remote hydride transfer by Gandamana, Dhika Aditya, Gagosz, Fabien, Chiba, Shunsuke

“…Leveraging of 1,5-hydride shift enabled diastereoselective hydroalkylation of aryl alkenes, allowing for construction of consecutive vicinal stereogenic centers in a single process. The transformation is triggered by electrophilic alkylation of aryl alkenes with in-situ generated carbocations, that is followed by diastereoselective 1,5-hydride shift to the resulting benzylic carbocation through a rigid 6-membered ring chair-like transition state.…”

Disruption of the Broadcast by Packer, Randall

“…And conversely, with the emerging tools of the Web, self-publishing blogs, and social media, artists are increasingly engaged in reporting news and opinion, becoming their own media outlets, distribution centers, and independent news feeds. In this sense, the new media artist uses technological means to take control of media information and broadcast it according to their own perspective.…”

A vehicle social distancing management system based on LiFi COVID pandemic: real-time monitoring for smart buildings by Murad, Sallar S., Yussof, Salman, Oraibi, Bha-Aldan Mundher, Badeel, Rozin, Badeel, Banan, Alamoodi, A. H.

“…This study proposes a real-time vehicle social distancing decision system for managing the number of vehicles (RT-VSDD) that adds an additional testing method besides the traditional testing phase (test reports from test centers) with a real-time vital health check at the building access request in order to reduce the risk of unidentified infected individuals. …”

A two-part mixed-effects model for analyzing clustered time-to-event data with clumping at zero by Zhao, Jian, Zhao, Yun, Xiang, Liming, Khanal, Vishnu, Binns, Colin W, Lee, Andy H.

“…Furthermore, subjects are often clustered within hospitals, communities or health service centers, resulting in correlated observations. The framework of the two-part model has been developed and utilized widely to analyze semi-continuous data or count data with excess zeros, but its application to clustered time-to-event data with clumping at zero remains sparse.…”

The effects of processing conditions on the morphology of single conjugated polymers. by Yeo, Hui Lin.

“…Spun-cast single chains were largely found to give neat intensity traces exhibiting discrete emission levels and clear off-states, suggesting a compact and collapsed disordered conformation favoring efficient energy funneling to one or a few low-energy exciton traps. These emissive centers of the collapsed chain were proposed to be intrachain aggregates consisting of closely π-stacked segments, therefore possessing weak oscillator strength and an extended radiative lifetime. …”

Epi-microRNA mediated metabolic reprogramming counteracts hypoxia to preserve affinity maturation by Nakagawa, R, Llorian, M, Varsani-Brown, S, Chakravarty, P, Camarillo, JM, Barry, D, George, R, Blackledge, NP, Duddy, G, Kelleher, NL, Klose, RJ, Turner, M, Calado, DP

“…To increase antibody affinity against pathogens, positively selected GC-B cells initiate cell division in the light zone (LZ) of germinal centers (GCs). Among these, higher-affinity clones migrate to the dark zone (DZ) and vigorously proliferate by utilizing energy provided by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). …”
