The microstructure and local dynamics of ions in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have drawn a lot of attention due to their extensive potential applications in numerous fields. It is well-known that the widely used definitions of ion pairs (IPs) cannot reflect the full picture of RTILs. In this study, we find a universal residence time (τ), which is regardless of the number of counterions in the first solvation shell in RTILs.

However, whether circ_0003789 plays a role during GC progression remains to be determined. Thus, this study investigated the biological functions of circ_0003789 during GC progression.

The accuracy of the retrieved phases depends highly on the quality of the recorded images; therefore, the exposure time should be carefully chosen for high-quality intensity captures. However, it is difficult to record well-exposure intensities to maintain rather a high signal to noise ratio and to avoid over-exposure due to the complex samples.
