This paper presents dielectric and neutron spectroscopy data on two different glycerol-water mixtures at elevated pressures. Glycerol-water liquid mixtures have a high concentration of hydrogen bonds which usually is expected to lead to complex dynamics. However, with regard to the pressure dependence of the dynamics we reveal a surprisingly simple picture.

Article Synopsis
  • Uterine ichthyosis is a rare condition where the endometrial surface is replaced by keratinized squamous epithelium, which can pose risks of premalignant or malignant lesions.
  • A case study of a 66-year-old patient revealed high-grade dysplasia in the metaplastic squamous epithelium, highlighting the need for careful evaluation and potential surgical intervention.
  • The rarity of this condition calls for more research to create clear diagnostic and treatment guidelines, stressing the importance of clinical vigilance and teamwork in patient management.

The resolution in Bonse-Hart double-crystal diffractometers is determined for a given Bragg angle by the value of the crystallographic structure factor. To date, the reflections Si 220 or Si 111 have been used exclusively in neutron scattering, which provide resolutions for triple-bounce crystals of about 2 × 10 Å (FWHM). The Darwin width of the GaAs 200 reflection is about a factor of 10 smaller, offering the possibility of a resolution of 2 × 10 Å provided crystals of sufficient quality are available.

Misinformation can profoundly impact an individual's attitudes-sometimes even after the misinformation has been corrected. In two preregistered experiments (N = 355, N = 725), we investigated whether individual differences in the ability and motivation to process information thoroughly influence the impact of misinformation in a news media context. More specifically, we tested whether fluid intelligence and need for cognition predicted the degree to which individuals who were exposed to misinformation changed their attitudes after receiving a correction message.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on generating broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV's Envelope (Env) by immunizing cows, which show a reliable response compared to common animal models.
  • - Two groups of cows were given different regimens of V2-apex focusing immunogens, resulting in some cows producing serum neutralizing antibodies specifically targeting the V2-apex region of Env.
  • - The successful isolation of bnAbs from the cows, particularly those with ultralong CDRH3 regions, indicates that these antibodies are more effective in responding to highly glycosylated proteins like HIV Env.
