is a genus of anaerobic, gram-positive bacteria commonly found in mammalian gastrointestinal tracts. Yet, how variations among different strains can impact host health is poorly understood. We present a sp.

Herein, we study [Dy2] molecular dimers deposited into micro-SQUID susceptometers. The results of magnetic, heat capacity and magnetic resonance experiments, backed by theoretical calculations, show that each [Dy2] dimer fulfills the main requisites to encode a two-spin quantum processor.

This challenge calls for the development of strategies to facilitate the efficient segregation of different Ln metal ions into distinct positions within the molecule. The unique family of pure [LnLn'Ln] heterometallic coordination compounds previously developed by us represents an ideal platform for studying the desired Ln-to-Ln' energy transfer (ET).

- - The study investigates the availability and reliability of school-based infectious disease surveillance data during the COVID-19 pandemic across a national sample of K-12 public schools (n = 1,602) and highlights the difficulties in accessing complete data.
- - Survey results from school administrators during the 2021-2022 school year revealed significant missing data related to COVID-19 cases, quarantines, and student absenteeism, with increasing gaps over time and differences based on school characteristics.
- - The research emphasizes the need for standardized case definitions and systematic methods for collecting and monitoring infectious disease data in schools to improve data availability and response in future public health emergencies.
Article Synopsis
- - Papillary craniopharyngioma (PCP) is a rare, benign tumor that accounts for about 20% of craniopharyngioma cases, primarily affecting adults and linked with the hypothalamus, presenting challenges in both diagnosis and surgical treatment due to its location.
- - Symptoms often involve visual deficits and psychiatric issues in about 45% of patients, with MRI being effective for detection but finding only half of the cases; surgical approaches vary, with endoscopic endonasal techniques offering better outcomes.
- - Most PCPs have the BRAFV600E mutation, which activates a key cellular signaling pathway, suggesting they may respond positively to targeted therapies like BRAF/MEK inhibitors, as shown in a recent
