Synthesis of Polycyclic Olefinic Monomers from Norbornadiene for Inverse Vulcanization: Structural and Mechanistic Consequences.

The preparation of high-sulfur content organosulfur polymers has generated considerable interest as an emerging area in polymer science that has been driven by advances in the inverse vulcanization polymerization of elemental sulfur with organic comonomers. While numerous new inverse vulcanized polysulfides have been made over the past decade, insights into the mechanism of inverse vulcanization and structural characterization of the high-sulfur-content copolymers remain limited in scope. Furthermore, the exploration of new molecular architectures for organic comonomer synthesis remains an important frontier to enhance the properties of these new polymeric materials.

An Update on the Nitrogen Heterocycle Compositions and Properties of U.S. FDA-Approved Pharmaceuticals (2013-2023).

This Perspective is a continuation of our analysis of U.S. FDA-approved small-molecule drugs (1938-2012) containing nitrogen heterocycles.

A Structural Analysis of the FDA Green Book-Approved Veterinary Drugs and Roles in Human Medicine.

The FDA Green Book is a list of all drug products that have been approved by the FDA for use in veterinary medicine. The Green Book, as published, lacks structural information corresponding to approved drugs. To address this gap, we have compiled the structural data for all FDA Green Book drugs approved through the end of 2019.

Body Condition Scoring for Adult Zebrafish ().

Body condition scoring (BCS) is a simple, rapid, noninvasive tool used to assess body condition in animals. In this study, we developed and validated a diagram-based BCS for adult zebrafish (), a popular research model. After receiving 20 min of hands-on training regarding the scoring system, 5 people each rated 95 adult zebrafish.
