A highly strained Al-Al σ-bond in dianionic aluminum analog of oxirane for molecule activation by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…The structure of 2 has been unambiguously ascertained by spectroscopic analysis as well as X-ray crystallography, and computational studies revealed that 2 bears a highly strained Al-Al σ-bond. 2 readily reacts with the unsaturated substrates such as isocyanide, ethylene, and ketone, concomitant with the cleavage of the Al-Al σ-bond under mild conditions, leading to the four- and five-membered heterocycles 3-5. …”

Improvement of mealworm digestion towards spent coffee grounds with assistance of feeding-inoculation by Mahesh Krishnan Shyamkumar

“…Spent coffee grounds (SCG) make up a majority of this residue with around 600g of SCG being formed from every kilogram of coffee beans used. Despite being abundant in organic resources such as saccharides and proteins, a significant portion of SCGs are discarded every year. …”

Seasonal density-dependence can select for partial migrants in migratory species by Liu, J, Zhang, Z, Coulson, T

“…Whether partial migration can be maintained within a population depends on where in the annual cycle density-dependence operates. Diversified bet-hedging, where parents produce a mix of migrants and residents, also maintains partial migration. …”

Carbon-semiconductor hybrid nanostructures and their photoresponse behaviors by Zhan, Zhaoyao

“…Carbon nanomaterials are unique in terms of structure, carbon nanotube (CNT) bears a hollow one-dimensional structure; and graphene is an one-atom-thick sheet and has extremely high specific surface area; both of them are presenting excellent charge transport capability. …”

Altruism and natural selection in a variable environment by dos Santos, M, Downing, PA, Griffin, AS, Cornwallis, CK, West, SA

“…In contrast to the standard prediction from Hamilton's rule, recent studies have suggested that altruistic helping can be favored even if it does not benefit relatives, as long as it decreases the environmentally induced variance of their reproductive success ("altruistic bet-hedging"). However, previous predictions both rely on an approximation and focus on variance-reducing helping behaviors. …”
