Four Discrete Silver Iodobismuthates/Bromobismuthates with Metal Complexes: Syntheses, Structures, Photocurrent Responses, and Theoretical Studies.

Using formed metal complexes of [Fe(bipy)] or [Ni(bipy)] (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) as templates, four new Ag-Bi-X (X = I and Br) compounds are first isolated in the metal-complex-decorated heterometallic halobismuthate family, namely [M(bipy)]AgBiI (M = Fe (), Ni ()), [Fe(bipy)]AgBiBr (), and [Ni(bipy)]AgBiBr (). Compounds - feature discrete [AgBiX] anions, exhibiting three polymorphisms that may be ascribed to the different stackings and the flexible condensations of [BiX] octahedrons and [AgX] tetrahedra/[AgX] triangles. UV-vis diffuse reflectance analyses reveal that they are narrow band gap semiconductor materials (ca.

LncRNA SAMD12-AS1 Promotes the Progression of Gastric Cancer via DNMT1/p53 Axis.

Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are essential modulators of cancers initiation and progression via regulating gene expression and biological behaviors. LncRNA SAMD12-AS1 has been validated to promote the progression of several cancers, while its role in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the role of LncRNA SAMD12-AS1 in GC.

Exploring the personal and professional factors associated with student evaluations of tenure-track faculty.

Tenure-track faculty members in the United States are evaluated on their performance in both research and teaching. In spite of accusations of bias and invalidity, student evaluations of teaching have dominated teaching evaluation at U.S.
