We present state-to-state differential cross sections for rotationally inelastic collisions of vibrationally excited NO XΠ ( = 9) with Ar using a near-counterpropagating molecular beam geometry. These were obtained using the stimulated emission pumping technique coupled with velocity map imaging. Collision energies well over ∼1 eV were achieved and rotational excitations up to ∼Δ = 60 recorded for the first time for inelastic collisions.

Design: Pre-specified analyses of data collected prospectively in a clinical trial with extended follow-up.
Setting And Participants: Participants who developed POAG during OHTS 1 and 2 (February 1994 to December 2008) constitute an inception cohort.
Article Synopsis
- The choroid plexus (CP) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid-barrier (BCSFB) play a critical role in producing and clearing cerebrospinal fluid, and their dysfunction is linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- This study utilized advanced MRI techniques to measure water delivery across the BCSFB in a triple transgenic mouse model of AD, observing significant changes in CP function even before clinical symptoms appear.
- Results indicated increased BCSFB-mediated water delivery in younger mice, with notable behavioral differences arising around 20 weeks, suggesting that CP changes could serve as early biomarkers for AD.
State-to-state spin-orbit changing collisions of vibrationally excited nitric oxide (NO) with argon (Ar) were studied across a wide collision energy range from 3.5 to 11,200 cm (0.43 meV to 1.
