Singularity of Lévy walks in the lifted Pomeau-Manneville map.

Since groundbreaking works in the 1980s it is well-known that simple deterministic dynamical systems can display intermittent dynamics and weak chaos leading to anomalous diffusion. A paradigmatic example is the Pomeau-Manneville (PM) map which, suitably lifted onto the whole real line, was shown to generate superdiffusion that can be reproduced by stochastic Lévy walks (LWs). Here, we report that this matching only holds for parameter values of the PM map that are of Lebesgue measure zero in its two-dimensional parameter space.

Reaction of NHOs with Bisphosphanes - Designing Diradicaloids, Zwitterions and Radicals.

The linkage of an imidazole-based N-heterocyclic olefin (NHO), containing a terminal CH2 donor group, with a phosphorus-centered diradical molecular fragment leads to an open-shell singlet diphospha-indenylide system, a new class of P-heterocycles, which can be interpreted both as a phosphorus-centered diradicaloid and as a zwitterion with a permanent, overall charge separation between the N- and P-heterocyclic ring systems. The rotation of the imidazole ring, which is thermally possible due to a central C-C bond with a weakened π-component, changes both the charge separation and diradical character depending on the dihedral angle, as quantum mechanical calculations indicate. By varying the bulkiness of substituents at the imidazole-based NHO, it was possible to obtain different diphospha-indenylide species with different rotation angles in the solid state and hence varying diradical character.

A Plague(d) Tale: Are violent video games effective in reducing stress levels?

Stress relief is often cited as the main motive for playing video games. However, the effectiveness of video games in coping with stress, especially when comparing violent and non-violent genres, remains uncertain. In the present lab experiment with N = 82 participants, we assessed acute stress reduction after playing a violent vs.

Altered retinal vasculature in childhood cancer survivors: Data from the German CVSS-study.

Aims: Childhood cancer is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in later life. Retinal examination allows to non-invasively observe the vasculature of an end-organ. We observe alterations in long-term childhood cancer survivors (CCS).
