Dicyanopyrazine-derived push-pull chromophores for highly efficient photoredox catalysis by Zhao, Yu, Zhang, Chenhao, Chin, Kek Foo, Pytela, Oldřich, Wei, Guo, Liu, Hongjun, Bureš, Filip, Jiang, Zhiyong

“…Here, we report dicyanopyrazine (DPZ)-derived push–pull chromophores, easily prepared and tunable organic compounds, as new kinds of photoredox catalysts. In particular, the DPZ derivative H, containing 2-methoxythienyl as electron-donating moiety, exhibits a broad absorption of visible light with an absorption edge up to 500 nm and excellent redox properties, and has been demonstrated as a desirably active and efficient photoredox catalyst in four challenging kinds of photoredox reactions. …”

Ontology module extraction via datalog reasoning by Romero, AA, Kaminski, M, Grau, BC, Horrocks, I

“…Existing approximations, however, ensure that M preserves all second-order entailments of T w.r.t. S, which is stronger than is required in many applications, and may lead to large modules in practice. …”

Essays on attention and creative thought by Wang, Jocelyn Yuxing

“…The goal of my dissertation is to provide a theory of these non-rigid forms of thought by understanding some of the cognitive mechanisms that underlie them, as well as to understand how these underlying mechanisms contribute to our epistemic lives more generally in all kinds of reasoning. Chapter 1 (based on co-authored work with Azenet Lopez) begins with a puzzle that arises from research on mind wandering: since during mind wandering we plausibly prioritize the information relevant to the concurrent tasks less, why does mind wandering sometimes improve rather than impair concurrent task performance? …”

Structural study of G-rich sequences: G4, non-G4 and G-wires by Tan, Keith Wei Rong

“…With the spectroscopic techniques, we break the original assumption that only G-quadruplexes form in a G-quadruplex forming sequence by showing the presence of an unreported species, the non-G4 species. Lastly, with the aid of gel electrophoresis, we demonstrate that G-wires, another structure that can be formed by G-rich sequences are more stable than G-quadruplexes.…”
