Cross-Correlation Between B Quadrupole and B-F Dipole-Dipole Coupling in BF Groups.

We investigate cross-correlation between B quadrupole and B-F dipole-dipole coupling in two BODIPY compounds and one bis(benzoxazol)methanide in partially oriented polystyrene (PS) samples. Especially for the bis(benzoxazol)methanide, the transitions for which the two interactions interfere con- or destructively clearly show distinct linewidths.

Robust Magnetoelectric Backscatter Communication System for Bioelectronic Implants.

Wireless communication technologies for bioelectronic implants enable remote monitoring for diagnosis and adaptive therapeutic intervention without the constraints of wired connections. However, wireless data uplink from millimeter-scale devices deep in the body struggles to achieve low power consumption while maintaining large misalignment tolerances. Here, we report a passive wireless backscatter communication system based on magnetoelectric transducers that consumes less than 0.

Population-aware permutation-based significance thresholds for genome-wide association studies.

Motivation: Permutation-based significance thresholds have been shown to be a robust alternative to classical Bonferroni significance thresholds in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for skewed phenotype distributions. The recently published method permGWAS introduced a batch-wise approach to efficiently compute permutation-based GWAS. However, running multiple univariate tests in parallel leads to many repetitive computations and increased computational resources.

A highly lipophilic terpyridine ligand as an efficient fluorescent probe for the selective detection of zinc(II) ions under biological conditions.

The present work describes the synthesis of new terpyridine (tpy) molecules possessing functionalized long alkyl chains at the 4'-position associated with a planar structure with considerable delocalization. Out of the three synthesized tpy derivatives (L1, L2, and L3), L2 containing an ester group at the end of the alkyl chain emerged as an excellent probe for the selective detection of Zn. The detection of Zn ions under biological conditions was achieved by the introduction of a distinct aliphatic undecanoic ester chain at the 4'-position of the core terpyridine ring, thereby making it more lipophilic.

A New Source of Opioid and Lead Toxicity on the Block-Kamini: An Emerging Health Hazard-A Case Series.

Introduction: Illicit drug abuse with opioids can inadvertently lead to refractory anemia and lead poisoning. The absence of adequate regulations for Ayurvedic herbal products has led to the adulteration of opioid-containing drugs with lead. As a result, lead toxicity has become a concern within this seldom-addressed population of opioid users.
