AI Article Synopsis
- High-angular-momentum states in 108Cd were created through a specific nuclear reaction using nickel and calcium at a beam energy of 207 MeV.
- Gamma rays emitted during this process were detected with the Gammasphere array.
- The study revealed a rotational band with unique properties, indicating a significant deformity in the nucleus, with a major-to-minor axis ratio exceeding 1.8:1, making it one of the most deformed nuclei recorded so far.
Article Abstract
High-angular-momentum states in 108Cd were populated via the (64)Ni((48)Ca,4n) reaction at a beam energy of 207 MeV. Gamma rays were detected using the Gammasphere array. A rotational band has been observed with a dynamic moment of inertia and deduced lower limit of the quadrupole moment suggesting a major-to-minor axis ratio larger than 1.8:1, placing it among the most deformed structures identified in any nucleus, to date.

In this paper, we propose a new flexible statistical distribution, the Topp-Leone Exponentiated Chen distribution, to model real-world data effectively, with a particular focus on COVID-19 data. The motivation behind this study is the need for a more flexible distribution that can capture various hazard rate shapes (e.g.

Benzene degradation under anoxic conditions was first reported more than 25 years ago; however, the activation mechanism in the absence of oxygen remains elusive. Progress has been hindered by the difficulty in cultivating anaerobic benzene-degrading enrichment cultures. Our laboratory has sustained a methanogenic enrichment culture harboring ORM2, a benzene fermenter distinct from any known genus but related to other known or predicted benzene degraders.

Background: Disease-associated microglia (DAM), which cluster around Aβ plaques, represent a significant pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and play a complex role in influencing neuroinflammation, mediating synapse loss, and participating in the phagocytic clearance of Aβ. Nonetheless, the precise mechanisms by which microglial activation extends beyond the traditional M1 and M2 classifications, encompassing a diverse spectrum of states, especially for DAM, closely intertwined with physiological and pathological conditions under Alzheimer's circumstances remain elusive.
Method: Here, we first combined biochemical techniques and bioinformatic analysis to test and quantify the expression of GABAR1 in both human and mouse AD models.
Engineering 2D spin networks by on-surface encapsulation of azafullerene radicals in nanotemplates.

We present an efficient strategy for on-surface engineering of organic metal-free supramolecular complexes with long-term spin protection. By vacuum deposition of azafullerene (CN) monomers on a pre-deposited template layer of [10]cycloparaphenylene ([10]CPP) nanohoops on Au(111) surface we exploit the molecular shape matching between the CN and [10]CPP for the azafullerene encapsulation with nanohoops in a guest-host complexation geometry. CN⊂[10]CPP supramolecular complexes self-assemble into an extended two-dimensional hexagonal lattice yielding a high density network of stable spin-1/2 radicals.

Introduction: This article investigates the effect of power on power construal through psychological entitlement as a mediator across three empirical studies ( = 895).
Methods: We examine how people in powerful and powerless conditions construe power, with psychological entitlement as a key mediator.
Results: We uncover a nuanced association whereby people in powerful conditions predominantly adopt socialized orientations to construe power, whereas in powerless conditions, people tend to construe power as a paradox.
