We study a one-orbital Anderson impurity in a two-dimensional electron bath with Rashba spin-orbit interactions in the Kondo regime. The spin SU(2) symmetry-breaking term couples the impurity to a two-band electron gas. A Schrieffer-Wolff transformation shows the existence of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction away from the particle-hole symmetric impurity state. A renormalization group analysis reveals a two-channel Kondo model with ferro- and antiferromagnetic couplings. The parity-breaking Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya term renormalizes the antiferromagnetic Kondo coupling with an exponential enhancement of the Kondo temperature.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is an attractive bio-degradable plastic alternative to petrochemical plastics. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria accumulate biomass by fixing atmospheric CO, making them promising hosts for sustainable PHA production. Conventional PHA production in cyanobacteria requires prolonged cultivation under nutrient limitation to accumulate cellular PHA.

Enhancing nitrogen (N) fixation in rice plants can reduce N fertilizer application and contribute to sustainable rice production, particularly under low-N conditions. However, detailed microbial and metabolic characterization of N fixation in rice stems, unlike in the well-studied roots, has not been investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the active N-fixing sites, their diazotroph communities, and the usability of possible carbon sources in stems compared with roots.

Background: To retrospectively investigate the developmental outcomes at 3 years of age in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) using a multicenter collaborative research approach.
Methods: We evaluated patients with CDH and no other malformations born between 2010 and 2016 in seven facilities in the Japanese CDH Research Group. The developmental quotient (DQ) at 3 years of age was evaluated using the Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development 2001, the most standardized scale in Japan.

Importance: A substantial number of individuals worldwide experience long COVID, or post-COVID condition. Other postviral and autoimmune conditions have a female predominance, but whether the same is true for long COVID, especially within different subgroups, is uncertain.
Objective: To evaluate sex differences in the risk of developing long COVID among adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Acetonitrile is a low-viscosity solvent that can enhance charge transfer kinetics at the electrode/electrolyte interface, although its cathodic instability limits its demonstration. This study employed a dual-compartment cell separated by a solid electrolyte to demonstrate that an acetonitrile-based electrolyte enhanced the interfacial charge transfer kinetics compared to those of carbonate-based electrolytes.
