The breaking of inversion symmetry combined with spin-orbit coupling, can give rise to intrigu- ing quantum phases and collective excitations. Here, we report systematic temperature dependent Raman scattering and theoretical calculations of phonon modes across the inversion symmetry- breaking structural transitions in a quasi-one-dimensional compound (TaSe4)3I. Our investigation revealed the emergence of three additional Raman-active modes in Raman spectra of the low- temperature (LT) non-centrosymmetric (NC) structure of the material.

Background: Reduced syntactic complexity is the predominant linguistic impairment unique to the nonfluent agrammatic variant of PPA (naPPA). Reliable, objective and automatic methods for assessing syntactic complexity are currently lacking. Here, we introduce an automatic method for quantifying syntactic complexity in speech.

Herein we present a series of luminescent Tb(III)-probes ([Tb-Ltrp], [Tb-Ltyr], and [Tb-Lphe]) for sensing and discriminating purine nucleoside polyphosphates (NPP) based on a modified DTTA chelator appended to aromatic amino acids (Laa). The optically most effective luminescent [Tb-Ltrp] probe preferentially discriminates the guanine-NPPs over the adenine-NPPs PeT-based modulation of Tb(III) luminescence within the biological concentration range.

Wheat end-use quality is an important component of a wheat breeding program. Heat stress during grain filling impacts wheat quality traits, making it crucial to understand the genetic basis of wheat quality traits under post-anthesis heat stress. This study aimed to identify the genomic regions associated with wheat quality traits using genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and evaluate the prediction accuracy of different genomic selection (GS) models.

Article Synopsis
  • This study highlights the critical role of light in facilitating exciton formation and separation in photocathodes, essential for charging lithium-ion batteries.
  • Light induces oxidation changes in titanium-based cathodes, while heat fails to produce similar effects.
  • The research suggests that effectively managing heat and light can lead to more efficient solar energy systems with minimal impact on battery components.
