The XPS of pyridine: A combined theoretical and experimental analysis.

A detailed analysis of the N(1s) and C(1s) X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is made, where the measured XPS is compared with theoretical Sudden Approximation (SA) intensities and theoretical XPS Binding Energies (BEs). There is remarkably good agreement between the theoretical predictions and the measured XPS; in particular, the different full width at half maximum values for the C(1s) and N(1s) BEs are explained in terms of unresolved C(1s) BEs for the different C atoms in pyridine. This work demonstrates that the combination of theory and XPS measurements can extract analysis of the XPS relevant to the molecular electronic structure.

Predicting Parkinson's disease trajectory using clinical and functional MRI features: A reproduction and replication study.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder with a poorly understood physiopathology and no established biomarkers for the diagnosis of early stages and for prediction of disease progression. Several neuroimaging biomarkers have been studied recently, but these are susceptible to several sources of variability related for instance to cohort selection or image analysis. In this context, an evaluation of the robustness of such biomarkers to variations in the data processing workflow is essential.

Unintended Events in Long-Distance Neonatal Interhospital Transport in Western Australia: A Comparison of Neonatal Specialist and Non-Neonatal Specialist Transport Teams.

Objective: To compare unintended events in transfers performed by neonatal specialist (NS) and non-neonatal specialist (NNS) teams in Western Australia (WA).

Study Design: Retrospective comparison of neonatal transfers from the Kimberley and Pilbara regions (WA) to tertiary services, King Edward Memorial (perinatal) and Perth Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, in Perth (state capital, distance up to 2200 km) between January 2018 and June 2021. NS teams traveled from the tertiary to the referring center and back.

Selective Effects of Substantia Nigra and Locus Coeruleus Degeneration on Cognition in Parkinson's Disease.

Background: The substantia nigra (SN) and locus coeruleus (LC) are among the first brain regions to degenerate in Parkinson's disease (PD). This has important implications for early cognitive deficits because these nuclei are sources of ascending neuromodulators (i.e.

Deep learning-driven bacterial cytological profiling to determine antimicrobial mechanisms in .

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by , remains a significant global health threat, affecting an estimated 10.6 million people in 2022. The emergence of multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant strains necessitates the development of novel and effective drugs.
