We standardized conditions for ex vivo mouse limb culture to study cartilage maturation and joint formation. We compared 12.5 d.p.c. mouse forelimbs that were cultured either mounted or freely rotating for up to 72 h. Limb outgrowth progressed ex vivo at a variable rate as compared to its development in vivo, spanning approximately 48 h. Although cartilage maturation and joint formation developed grossly normal, aberrant expression of skeletal marker genes was seen. Interestingly, no regression of the interdigital webs took place in mounted cultures, in contrast to limited webbing under freely rotating conditions. Caspase inhibition, by addition of zVAD-fmk to the culture medium of freely rotating limbs, supported proper gene expression associated with skeletal development, and prevented interdigital web regression. Taken together, a freely rotating ex vivo culture for mouse limb outgrowth that is combined with caspase inhibition provides a good model to study cartilage maturation and joint formation.

In the dyotropic rearrangement of molecules with semiflexible structures, characterized by a freely rotating static C-C bond, the formation of a mixture of products is common due to the coexistence of several energetically comparable conformers. Herein, we report that it is possible to modulate the shifting groups by adjusting the metal's coordination sphere in Pd-based dyotropic rearrangement. In the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(II) salt, the reaction of γ-hydroxyalkenes or γ,δ-dihydroxyalkenes with Selectfluor affords fluorinated tetrahydropyranols or 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.

The first excited state of conjugated donor-acceptor molecules of C3 symmetry (octupolar molecules) is doubly degenerate. Such a doublet is known to be isomorphic to a spin 1/2. It is shown that a large electric dipole moment is associated with this spin.

Belt conveyor idlers are freely rotating idlers supporting the belt of a conveyor, and can induce severe frictional damage to the belt as they fail. Therefore, fast and accurate detection of idler faults is crucial for the effective maintenance of belt conveyor systems. In this article, we implement and evaluate the performance of an idler stall detection system based on a multivariate deep learning model using accelerometers and microphone sensor data.

Many flights, with their precise positioning capabilities, have provided rich inspiration for designing insect-styled micro air vehicles. However, researchers have not widely studied their flight ability. In particular, research on the maneuverability of using integrated kinematics and aerodynamics is scarce.

We study analytically the dynamics of an anisotropic particle subjected to different stochastic resetting schemes in two dimensions. The Brownian motion of shape-asymmetric particles in two dimensions results in anisotropic diffusion at short times, while the late-time transport is isotropic due to rotational diffusion. We show that the presence of orientational resetting promotes the anisotropy to late times.
