,-Dimethylformamide (DMF) provides a useful small-molecule model for studying features of the peptide bond that forms the backbone of proteins. We report results from a comprehensive multimass velocity-map imaging study into the ultraviolet (UV) photolysis of the ,-dimethylformamide cation (DMF) at wavelengths of 225, 245, and 280 nm. Electronic structure calculations on DMF and DMF were employed to help interpret the experimental results.

- Taking a reading comprehension (RC) test involves answering questions correctly, which reflects students' ability to understand texts, but various test-taking strategies can hinder comprehension.
- A study with 248 students used eye-tracking to observe how they read test questions, discovering connections between eye movements and reading achievement.
- Findings highlight that the challenges faced by less-skilled readers extend beyond the text itself, indicating the need for better strategies in teaching students how to approach RC questions effectively.
