We report the first measurement of a structure-dependent component in the decay K+-->&mgr;(+)nu(&mgr;)gamma. Using the kinematic region where the muon kinetic energy is greater than 137 MeV and the photon energy is greater than 90 MeV, we find that the absolute value of the sum of the vector and axial-vector form factors is |F(V)+F(A)| = 0.165+/-0.007+/-0.011. This corresponds to a branching ratio of B(SD+) = (1.33+/-0.12+/-0.18)x10(-5). We also set the limit -0. 04

Concurrent Pressure-Induced Superconductivity and Photoconductivity Transitions in PbSeTe.

Concurrent superconductivity and negative photoconductivity (NPC) are rarely observed. Here, the discovery in PbSeTe of superconductivity and photoconductivity transitions between positive photoconductivity (PPC) and NPC during compression is reported to ≈40 GPa and subsequent decompression, which are also accompanied by reversible structure transitions (3D Fm m ⇌ 2D Pnma ⇌ 3D Pm m). Superconductivity with a maximum T of ≈6.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores stable complexes formed between colloidal CdTe quantum dots and two different cobalt porphyrin derivatives, highlighting their potential in photocatalytic applications.
- Researchers found that the binding of the porphyrins is stronger to the quantum dots than originally thought, with significant differences in electron transfer rates due to structural variations in the porphyrins.
- The findings suggest that porphyrin alignment changes upon excitation enhance the charge-separated state's lifetime and propose that these complexes could be effective for CO reduction catalysis.

This study investigates whether downstep in Japanese is directly triggered by accents. When the pitch height of a word X is lower after an accented word (A) than after an unaccented word (U), X is diagnosed as downstepped. However, this diagnosis involves two confounding factors: the already lowered F0 before X and phonological phrasing.

The polyol synthesis of CoO nanoparticles (NPs) is typically conducted by dissolving and heating cobalt acetate tetrahydrate and water in diethylene glycol (DEG). This process yields aggregates of approximately 100 nm made of partially aligned primary crystals. However, the synthesis demands careful temperature control to allow the nucleation of CoO while simultaneously preventing reduction, caused by the activity of DEG.

Purpose: Accurate quantifying of drug-related compounds in medicines is vital for safety. Commonly used structure-dependent methods rely on analytical standards. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) offers a promising solution, being structure-independent and not requiring standards.
