The kinetics of conversion of an edge-linked double cube, in this case [{Mo(3)PdS(4)(H(2)O)(9)}(2)](8+), to the corresponding single cube [Mo(3)(PdX)S(4)(H(2)O)(9)](4+), has been studied for the first time. Reaction is induced by six reagents X = CO, two water-soluble phosphines, Cl(-), Br(-), and NCS(-), which complex at the tetrahedral Pd. The first stage of reaction is fast and is accompanied by color changes, e.g. purple to dark blue in the case of Cl(-), assigned as double to single cube conversion. With X = CO and the two phosphines, when absorbance changes are intense enough for stopped-flow monitoring with reactants at Pd-SCN. On removal of e.g. Cl(-) by chromatography or addition of Ag(+), the double cube re-forms.

Visual perspective taking often involves transitioning between perspectives, yet the cognitive mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. The current study draws on insights from task- and language-switching research to address this gap. In Experiment 1, 79 participants judged the perspective of an avatar positioned in various locations, observing either the rectangular or the square side of a rectangular cube hanging from the ceiling.

A Ce(III) phosphinate and a Ce(IV) phosphostibonate have been assembled by the reaction of a phosphinic acid and phosphostibonate with Ce(III) salts. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) studies reveal the formation of a rare triangular Ce(III) oxo-cluster [Ce(PhCHPO)]Cl(CHOH)(HO)] () and a fascinating hexanuclear oxo-cluster containing Ce(IV) ions [Ce (-ClCHSb)(μ-O)(μ-O)(-BuPO)(μ-OCH)] (). The molecular architecture of showcased an interesting correlation with platonic solids, wherein the Ce(IV), Sb(V), and P(V) ions were found to be present in vertices of an octahedron, a tetrahedron, and a cube, respectively.

Background: Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are promising candidates for biodegradable materials in next-generation bone implants due to their favourable mechanical properties and biodegradability. However, their rapid degradation and corrosion, potentially leading to toxic byproducts, pose significant challenges for widespread use.
Objectives: This study aimed to address the challenges associated with Mg-based materials by thoroughly evaluating the biocompatibility, genotoxicity, and mechanical properties of Mg-based devices manufactured via Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF).

Objective: To reduce the damage of uterine endometrium caused during hysteroscopic myomectomy (HM) for reproductive aged patients, a new uterine endometrium preservation hysteroscopic myomectomy (UEP-HM) has been developed. In this study, we introduced this technique with comparing to the conventional hysteroscopic myomectomy (C-HM).
Study Design: The data from 94 patients aged 42 or younger who underwent HM (38 cases with UEP-HM and 56 cases with C-HM) for treating single Type 1 or Type 2 submucosal leiomyoma (SL) were analysed retrospectively for comparing the characteristics of both patient and target SL.
