Leading by the nodes: a survey of film industry network analysis and datasets.

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of network analysis research on the film industry, aiming to evaluate its emergence as a field of study and identify potential areas for further research. Many foundational network studies made use of the abundant data from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) to test network methodologies. This survey focuses more specifically on examining research that employs network analysis to evaluate the film industry itself, revealing the social and business relationships involved in film production, distribution, and consumption.

Assessing Contrast Sensitivity Function in CRB1-Retinopathies: Exploring Child-Friendly Measures of Visual Function.

Purpose: Mutations affecting the CRB1 gene can result in a range of retinal phenotypes, including early onset severe retinal dystrophy/Leber congenital amaurosis (EOSRD/LCA), retinitis pigmentosa, cone-rod dystrophy (CORD), and macular dystrophy (MD). As research into treatment strategies advances towards clinical translation, there is a need to establish reliable outcome metrics. This study explores the contrast sensitivity function (CSF) across different spatial frequencies in individuals with CRB1-retinopathies using the child-friendly PopCSF test, an iPad-based "gamified" assessment.

Simple Method to Isolate Individual Mouse Cardiomyocytes Using Enzymatic Digestion via Retrograde Perfusion.

Isolated single cardiomyocytes are commonly used to understand fundamental cardiac cell physiology and cell signaling at the molecular level. The protocol to isolate cardiomyocytes is under continual optimization between laboratories, despite being conducted for many years. The delicate nature of these cells coinciding with laboratory equipment variations can make the consistency of isolation challenging.

-Bridged BODIPY Dimers: Exploring the Electron-Rich and Electron-Poor Coupling Limit via Pyrrole and Pyridine Annulation.

facile access to -heteroaryl-fused bis-BODIPY scaffolds has been developed. A BODIPY dimer with an α,α-amine linker serves as a starting material to obtain pyrrole- and pyridine-fused BODIPYs, either by direct oxidation or by oxidative condensation with an aldehyde building block. Both species mark antipodal conjugative coupling conditions that result in distinct spectral outcomes.
