Density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/6-31G+(d) levels demonstrated that O-furfuryl S-alkyl dithiocarbonate (1) undergoes aromatic [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to the energetically unfavorable S-(2-methylene-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-yl) S-alkyl dithiocarbonate (2'), which then rearranges to furfuryl alkyl sulfide (3) with COS extrusion to regain the aromaticity lost in the first step.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have emerged as promising materials for electrochemiluminescence (ECL) applications due to their unique optical and electronic properties. In this study, GQDs were synthesized via electrochemical exfoliation of graphite in a constant current density mode, enabling scalable production with controlled size and surface functionalization. GQDs-4 and GQDs-20, synthesized at applied current densities of 4 mA/cm2 and 20 mA/cm2 to the graphite electrode, respectively, were investigated on roles of surface states and exciplex dominated aggregation-induced emission (AIE) in their ECL performance.

Context: This study systematically investigated the effects of single S-atom vacancy defects and composite defects (vacancy combined with doping) on the properties of MoS using density functional theory. The results revealed that N-doped S-vacancy MoS has the smallest composite defect formation energy, indicating its highest stability. Doping maintained the direct band gap characteristic, with shifts in the valence band top.

DFT study of the binary intermetallic compound NdMn in different polytypic phases.

J Mol Model

January 2025

Department of Physics, University of Malakand, Chakdara, Dir (Lower), 18800, KP, Pakistan.

Context: The structural stability, ground state magnetic order, electronic, elastic and thermoelectric properties of NdMn in the C15, C14 and C36 polytypic phases is investigated. The magnetic phase optimization and magnetic susceptibility reveal that NdMn is antiferromagnetic (AFM) in C36 phase; and paramagnetic (PM) in C14 and C15 phases respectively. The band profiles and electrical resistivity show the metallic nature in all these polytypic phases and reveal that the C36 phase possesses smaller resistivity.

Integrated analysis of marked and count data to characterize fine-scale stream fish movement.

January 2025

Department of Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, 80523, USA.

Immigration and emigration are key demographic processes of animal population dynamics. However, we have limited knowledge on how fine-scale movement varies over space and time. We developed a Bayesian integrated population model using individual mark-recapture and count data to characterize fine-scale movement of stream fish at 20-m resolution in a 740-m study area every two months for 28 months.

Seipin Deficiency Impairs Motor Coordination in Mice by Compromising Spinal Cord Myelination.

Neuromolecular Med

January 2025

Department of Anatomy, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Shanxi Medical University, No 56, Xinjian Nan Road, Taiyuan, 030001, Shanxi, China.

The integrity of the myelin sheath of the spinal cord (SC) is essential for motor coordination. Seipin is an endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein highly expressed in adipose tissue and motor neurons in the SC. It was reported Seipin deficiency induced lipid dysregulation and neurobehavioral deficits, but the underlying mechanism, especially in SC, remains to be elucidated.
