We model magnetotransport features of the quenched condensed granular Ni thin films by a random two-dimensional resistor network in order to test the condition where a single bond dominates the system. The hopping conductivity is assumed to depend on the distance between neighboring ferromagnetic grains and the mutual orientation of the magnetic moments of these grains. We find that the quantity characterizing the transition from weak disorder (not sensitive to a change of a single bond resistivity) to strong disorder (very sensitive to such changes) scales as kappa/L(1/1.3), where L is the size of the system and kappa is a measure of disorder.

Understanding and controlling molecular motions is of pivotal importance for designing molecular machinery and functional molecular systems, capable of performing complex tasks. Herein, we report a comprehensive theoretical study to elucidate the dynamic behavior of a bis(benzoxazole)-based overcrowded alkene displaying several coupled and uncoupled molecular motions. The benzoxazole moieties give rise to 4 different stable conformers that interconvert through single-bond rotations.

Chiral medium-sized rings, albeit displaying attractive properties for drug development, suffer from numerous synthetic challenges due to difficult cyclization steps that must take place to form these unusually strained, atropisomeric rings from sterically crowded precursors. In fact, catalytic enantioselective cyclization methods for the formation of chiral seven-membered rings are unknown, and the corresponding eight-membered variants are also sparse. In this work, we present a substrate preorganization-based, enantioselective, organocatalytic strategy to construct seven- and eight-membered rings featuring chirality that is intrinsic to the ring in the absence of singular stereogenic atoms or single bond axes of chirality.

ConspectusThe advancement of synthetic methodologies is fundamentally driven by a deeper understanding of the structure-reactivity relationships of reactive key intermediates. Carbyne anions are compounds featuring a monovalent anionic carbon possessing four nonbonding valence electrons, which were historically confined to theoretical constructs or observed solely within the environment of gas-phase studies. These species possess potential for applications across diverse domains of synthetic chemistry and ancillary fields.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a chlorhexidine digluconate solution (CHX) applied as an antiproteolytic agent for controlling erosive tooth wear or as part of the adhesive treatment on long-term bond strength to eroded dentin. Dentin specimens were abraded with a 600-grit silicon carbide (SiC) paper for 1 min (sound dentin - S), subsequently treated with 2% CHX for 1 min (with excess removed, followed by a 6-hour rest), and eroded by exposure to Coca-Cola for 5 min, three times a day, for 5 days (CHX-treated and eroded dentin - CHXE), or only eroded (eroded dentin - E). The specimens were acid-etched (15 s), rinsed (30 s), dried (15 s), and rehydrated with 1.

Objective: To evaluate the shear strength of adhesives based on the type of solvent (ethanol and acetone), aged and light-cured using light-emitting diode (LED) units with different wavelengths. Polywave and monowave LED units were employed for this study.
Materials And Methods: Ninety bovine tooth samples were analyzed using OptiBond Universal adhesive (acetone) and single bond universal adhesive (ethanol).
