On the total synthesis of complex alkaloids by Shennan, BDA

“…Multiple competing strategies are investigated before successfully developing an efficient route to the racemic pentacycle of daphlongeranine B. This strategy hinges upon a Michael addition followed by a Claisen rearrangement and ring-closing metathesis to establish three rings.…”

Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The test results indicated that both unbonded and bonded parabolic-shaped PT significantly enhanced compressive arch action (CAA) and catenary action (CA) beyond basic flexural capacity, and also changed the plastic hinge mechanism in the precast beams. The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”

Cognitive diagnostic assessment in educational testing: a score strategy-based evaluation by Muhamad Firdaus Mohd Noh, Mohd Effendi @ Ewan Mohd Matore, Nur Ainil Sulaiman, Mohd Tarmizi Azeman, Hamzah Ishak, Nursohana Othman, Nurbaya Mohd Rosli, Siti Hannah Sabtu

“…The findings indicate that CDA offers strengths like granular feedback, enhanced validity, and data-driven decisions, but faces challenges in complex implementation and resource demands. Its effectiveness hinges on efficient implementation and appropriacy, while exploring opportunities, managing risks, and considering stakeholders' responses help optimize its transformational and commercial value. …”

New 3D supramolecular Zn(ii)-coordinated self-assembled organic networks by Lim, Zheng Bang, Li, Hairong, Sun, Shuangyong, Lek, Jun Yan, Trewin, Abbie, Lam, Yeng Ming, Grimsdale, Andrew C.

“…The optical properties of these materials were compared to the linear polymers P1–3 made by Zn(II)-mediated assembly of the same linear linking units. The emission spectra of both the 3-D and 1-D cases with the same linking unit matched each other, confirming the incorporation of the linker units into the expanded assemblies. …”

YY1 binding is a gene-intrinsic barrier to Xist-mediated gene silencing by Bowness, JS, Almeida, M, Nesterova, T, Brockdorff, N

“…X chromosome inactivation (XCI) in mammals is mediated by Xist RNA which functions in cis to silence genes on a single X chromosome in XX female cells, thereby equalising levels of X-linked gene expression relative to XY males. XCI progresses over a period of several days, with some X-linked genes silencing faster than others. …”
