Identification of 2,4-Di--Butylphenol as an Antimicrobial Agent Against Bacteria from Rwandan Propolis.

Background/objectives: Acne is the most prevalent dermatological condition among humans, affecting approximately 80% of adolescents during puberty. To date, numerous compounds have been used for acne treatment, including erythromycin ointments and antiseptics, with varying degrees of success. The emergence of erythromycin-resistant strains has spurred the search for new antimicrobial agents, particularly from natural sources.

Revision for stiff knee after knee replacement.

Stiffness following total knee replacement is defined as >15° flexion contracture and/or flexion <75° or, for other authors, arc of motion <70° or 45° or 50°. Alternatively, it could be defined as a range of motion less than the patient needs in order to be able to do what they wish. The first step in management is to determine the causes: preoperative (history of stiffness, patient-related risk factors, etc.

Native multi-qubit gates in transmon qubits via synchronous driving.

Quantum computation holds the promise of solving computational problems which are believed to be classically intractable. However, in practice, quantum devices are still limited by their relatively short coherence times and imperfect circuit-hardware mapping. In this work, we present the parallelization of pre-calibrated pulses at the hardware level as an easy-to-implement strategy to optimize quantum gates.

Time-gated multi-dimensional luminescence thermometry carbon dots for precise temperature mobile sensing.

Luminescence thermometry presents precise remote temperature measurement capabilities but faces significant challenges in real-world applications, primarily stemming from the calibration's susceptibility to environmental factors. External factors can compromise accuracy, necessitating resilient measurement protocols to ensure dependable temperature (T) readings across various settings. We explore a novel three-dimensional (3D) approach based on time-gated (t) luminescence thermometric parameters, (,), employing physical mixtures of surface-engineered carbon dots (CDs) based on dibenzoylmethane and rhodamine B.
