AI Article Synopsis

  • Two band systems of FeF were studied using laser-induced fluorescence, revealing perturbations in the (6)Pi(5/2) and (6)Pi(3/2) sublevels.
  • The analysis of the 330-nm and 323-nm systems provided significant new data for multiple subbands within both the (6)Pi-X(6)Delta and (6)Phi-X(6)Delta electronic transitions.
  • This research offers a higher resolution and lower temperature approach compared to previous studies, improving the understanding of FeF's electronic states through effective Hamiltonian fitting.

Article Abstract

Two band systems of FeF have been recorded at Doppler-limited linewidths by laser-induced fluorescence. The 330-nm system provided data for three subbands of the (0,0) band of the (6)Pi-X(6)Delta system and showed that levels of the (6)Pi(5/2) and (6)Pi(3/2) components are significantly perturbed. In the 323-nm system, the (0,0) band of the (6)Phi-X(6)Delta system was found to be overlapped by the (1,0) band of the (6)Pi-X(6)Delta system. Data were obtained for three subbands of the (1,0) (6)Pi-X(6)Delta system and for five subbands of the (0, 0) (6)Phi-X(6)Delta system. This work considerably extends the previous study by Pouilly et al. (B. Pouilly, J. Schamps, D. J. W. Lumley, and R. F. Barrow, J. Phys. B 11, 2281-2287 (1978)) because it is a higher resolution study with a lower temperature production of FeF by a continuous flow discharge method. The data recorded were combined with millimeter-wave data for FeF in the X(6)Delta state and fitted with an effective Hamiltonian to determine the major parameters for FeF in the X(6)Delta, (6)Pi, and (6)Phi electronic levels.

Stimulant-involved overdose deaths: Constructing dynamic hypotheses.

MGH Institute for Technology Assessment, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, 02144, USA. Electronic address:

The overdose epidemic in the United States is evolving, with a rise in stimulant (cocaine and/or methamphetamine)-only and opioid and stimulant-involved overdose deaths for reasons that remain unclear. We conducted interviews and group model building workshops in Massachusetts and South Dakota. Building on these data and extant research, we identified six dynamic hypotheses, explaining changes in stimulant-involved overdose trends, visualized using causal loop diagrams.

Development of translationally active cell lysates from different filamentous fungi for application in cell-free protein synthesis.

Enzyme Microb Technol

Institute of Biotechnology, Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg, Universitätsplatz 1, Senftenberg 01968, Germany. Electronic address:

There is an enormous potential for cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) systems based on filamentous fungi in view of their simple, fast and mostly inexpensive cultivation with high biomass space-time yields and in view of their catalytic capacity. In 12 of the 22 different filamentous fungi examined, in vitro translation of at least one of the two reporter proteins GFP and firefly luciferase was detected. The lysates showing translation of a reporter protein usually were able to synthesize a functional cell-free expressed unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) from the basidiomycete Cyclocybe (Agrocybe) aegerita.

Soilborne diseases are persistent problems in soybean production. Long-term crop rotation can contribute to soilborne disease management. However, the response of soilborne pathogens to crop rotation is inconsistent, and rotation efficacy is highly variable.

While recycling irrigation water can reduce water use constraints and costs in nurseries, adoption is hindered by the associated risk of recirculating and spreading waterborne pathogens. To enable regional water re-use, this study assessed oomycete re-circulation risks and recycled water treatment efficacy at organismal and community scales. In culture-based analysis of recycled pond water at two Mid-Atlantic nurseries across three years, diverse oomycetes (12+ species) were detected using culture-based analysis, with Phytopythium helicoides as the dominant species; MiSeq analysis detected eight of these species, plus 24 additional taxa.
