In the title polymeric compound, [Cd(C(9)H(12)O(4))(C(10)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cd(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two 4,4'-bipyridine ligands and two 2,2-dimethyl-cyclo-pentane-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate ions. The carboxyl-ate ion and the N-heterocycle both function as bridges to link adjacent Cd(II) atoms to result in the formation of a layer structure parallel to (010). The mid-point of the central C-C bond of the 4,4'-bipyridine ligand is located on an inversion center. In the crystal, the carboxyl-ate ion is disordered over a twofold rotation axis in respect of its methyl group and the cyclo-pentane ring.

Objective: Modeling of the collimator-detector response (CDR) in SPECT reconstruction enables improved resolution and accuracy, and is thus important for quantitative imaging applications such as dosimetry. The implementation of CDR modeling, however, can become a computational bottleneck when there are substantial components of septal penetration and scatter in the acquired data, since a direct convolution-based approach requires large 2D kernels. This work proposes a 1D convolution and rotation-based CDR model that reduces reconstruction times but maintains consistency with models that employ 2D convolutions.

Background: Numerous physical diagnostic shoulder tests have been established to determine the presence of rotator cuff tears and to identify the affected muscles. However, reported sensitivities and specificities of these tests vary strongly. The aim of this study was to identify diagnostic postures that are biomechanically most sensitive in identifying rotator cuff lesions and compensation mechanisms.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and more recently entanglement are two cornerstones of quantum matter. We introduce the notion of anisotropic entanglement ordered phases, where the spatial profile of spin-pseudospin entanglement spontaneously lowers the fourfold rotational symmetry of the underlying crystal to a twofold one, while the charge density retains the full symmetry. The resulting phases, which we term entanglement smectic and entanglement stripe, exhibit a rich Goldstone mode spectrum and a set of phase transitions as a function of underlying anisotropies.

We introduce a universal methodology for generating and manipulating altermagnetism in two-dimensional (2D) magnetic Van der Waals (MvdW) materials through twisting. We find that a key in-plane twofold rotational operation can be achieved in a twisted bilayer of any 2D MvdW material, which takes one of all five 2D Bravais lattices, thereby inducing altermagnetism. By choosing the constituent MvdW monolayer with specific symmetry, our approach can tailor altermagnetism of any type, such as d wave, g wave, and i wave.
