Solvent Controlled Chemodivergent Sulfonyl Addition into Enynones: Synthesis of α-Furyl Sulfones and Stereodefined Vinyl Sulfones.

Sodium salt of aryl sulfinic acid reacts with enynone in a different manner, yielding α-furyl sulfone and stereodefined vinyl sulfone in toluene and EtOH respectively in the presence of ZnCl. The salient features of this protocol include chemoselectivity, broad substrate scope, high efficiency, high yield, and easy purification. The synthetic utilities of the products are demonstrated by cycloaddition and cis-trans photoisomerization reactions.

Photo-responsive organogelator based on cholesterol incorporated sugar-azobenzene derivatives.

In this report, the design and synthesis of cholesterol-based sugar azobenzene derivatives as photo-responsive organogelators have been carried out. The gel formation in different solvents was examined, and a minimum CGC of 0.5 % (w/v) was attained in toluene.

Factors Affecting Readmission in Patients with Surgical Site Infection: A Graphical and Prediction Model-Based Approach.

Antimicrobial therapy is becoming less effective because of the rising microbial resistance. Surgical site infections (SSI) are one of the major complications that require modifications in the infection control policy for effective management. To develop a model for predicting the readmission rates post-SSI treatment and to identify prevalent microbial isolates and the respective trends in resistance patterns.

Evaluative comparison of machine learning algorithms for stutter detection and classification.

Stuttering is a neuro-developmental speech disorder that interrupts the flow of speech due to involuntary pauses and sound repetitions. It has profound psychological impacts that affect social interactions and professional advancements. Automatically detecting stuttering events in speech recordings could assist speech therapists or speech pathologists track the fluency of people who stutter (PWS).
