Infrared spectroscopy of NaCl(CH3OH)n complexes in helium nanodroplets by Sadoon, Ahmed M., Sarma, Gautam, Cunningham, Ethan M., Tandy, Jonathan D., Hanson-Heine, Magnus W. D., Besley, Nicholas A., Yang, Shengfu, Ellis, Andrew M.

“…These complexes were formed in liquid helium nanodroplets by consecutive pick-up of NaCl and CH3OH molecules. For the smallest NaCl(CH3OH)n, complexes where n = 1−3, the IR data suggest that the lowest-energy isomer is the primary product in each case. …”

Identification of similar epitopes between SARS-CoV-2 and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin: potential for cross-reactive adaptive immunity by Urbán, Szabolcs, Paragi, Gábor, Burián, Katalin, McLean, Gary R., Virok, Dezső P.

“…The SARS-CoV-2 T cell epitopes represented 16 SARS-CoV-2 proteins, the SARS-CoV-2 B cell epitopes represented 5 SARS-CoV-2 proteins, including the receptor binding domain of the spike glycoprotein. Conclusion: Altogether our results provide a mechanistic basis for the potential cross-reactive adaptive immunity that may exists between the two microorganisms.…”

Rethinking learning outcomes : review of Trevor Hussey & Patrick Smith (2003) ‘The Uses of Learning Outcomes’, Teaching in Higher Education, Vol. 8. No 3, pp. 357-368 by Carter, Carol

“…Picking up the baton from their earlier article The Trouble With Learning Outcomes, in which they detailed a persuasively cautionary account of the dangers inherent in using learning outcomes as tools of audit rather than of education, Hussey and Smith (2002) return on a mission: ‘to develop an account of learning outcomes… that is more realistic and conducive to educational purposes’ (p. 232). …”

Pro-social attitudes towards ethno-religious out-groups during the COVID-19 pandemic: a survey experiment in five countries by Carol, Sarah, David, Lea, Malasevic, Sinisa, Uzelac, Gordana

“…This article examines pro-social attitudes among 7000 residents in England, Ireland, Germany, Serbia, and Sweden by showing a fictitious scenario of an older neighbour who needs his groceries to be picked up from a nearby supermarket. The online survey experiment follows a 3 × 2 × 2 factorial design varying the ethno-religious origin of neighbours signalled by the name (Alexander vs Mohammed), the length of their residence (<1 year, 10 years, entire life), and if groceries, or groceries and beer need to be collected. …”
