Published: October 2004

Amino-diphenylanilines and their planarized and twisted model compounds have been investigated by steady state and time-resolved absorption and emission, as well as by spectroelectrochemistry. These polyaniline model compounds show that the observation of excited states with full charge separation is linked to molecular twisting where the diaminobenzene is the donor and the phenyl group the acceptor. The observable charge transfer fluorescence shows the characteristic features of twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) excited states, i.e. forbidden emissive properties and strong solvatochromic red shift. The transient absorption spectrum of the TICT state matches the ground state absorption spectrum of the electrochemically produced radical cation of the molecule. This is the first example where excited-state properties of the neutral and ground state properties of the radical cation are directly linked.

Temozolomide, a widely used alkylating agent for glioblastoma treatment, faces significant challenges due to the development of resistance, which severely impacts patient survival. This underscores the urgent need for novel strategies to overcome this barrier. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), an intracellular non-receptor tyrosine kinase, is highly expressed in glioblastoma cells and has been identified as a promising therapeutic target for anti-glioblastoma drug development.

Freezing extends the shelf life of foods but often leads to structural damage due to ice crystal formation, negatively impacting quality attributes. Oscillating magnetic field (OMF)-assisted supercooling has emerged as a potential technique to overcome these limitations by inhibiting ice nucleation and maintaining foods in a supercooled state. Despite its potential, the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of OMF-assisted supercooling remain subjects of debate.

Fraud in alcoholic beverages through counterfeiting and adulteration is rising, significantly impacting companies economically. This study aimed to develop a method using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (1596-2396 nm) through the bottle, along with machine learning (ML) modeling for beer authentication, quality traits, and control assessment. For this study, 25 commercial beers from different brands, styles, and three types of fermentation were used.

Whole-grain foods (WGFs) constitute a large part of humans' daily diet, making risk identification of WGFs important for health and safety. However, existing research on WGFs has paid more attention to revealing the effects of a single hazardous substance or various hazardous substances on food safety, neglecting the mutual influence between individual hazardous substances and between hazardous substances and basic information. Therefore, this paper proposes a causal inference of WGFs' risk based on a generative adversarial network (GAN) and Bayesian network (BN) to explore the mutual influence between hazardous substances and basic information.
