Reaction of 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) with dinuclear complexes [RuCl(dfppe)(μ-Cl)3Ru(dmso-S)3] (dfppe = 1,2-bis(dipentafluorophenyl phosphino)ethane (C6F5)2PCH2CH2P(C6F5)2; dmso = dimethyl sulfoxide) (1) or [RuCl(dfppe)(μ-Cl)3RuCl(dfppe)] (2) affords the mononuclear species trans-[RuCl2(bpy)(dfppe)] (3). Using this precursor complex (3), a series of new cationic Ru(II) electrophilic complexes [RuCl(L)(bpy)(dfppe)][Z] (L = P(OMe)3 (5), PMe3 (6), CH3CN (7), CO (8), H2O (9); Z = OTf (5, 6, 7, 8), BAr(F)4 (9) have been synthesized via abstraction of chloride by AgOTf or NaBAr(F)4 in the presence of L. Complexes 5 and 6 were converted into the corresponding isomeric hydride derivatives [RuH(PMe3)(bpy)(dfppe)][OTf] (10a, 10b) and [RuH(P(OMe)3)(bpy)(dfppe)][OTf] (11a, 11b) respectively, when treated with NaBH4. Protonation of the cationic monohydride complex (11a) with HOTf at low temperatures resulted in H2 evolution accompanied by the formation of either solvent or triflate bound six coordinated species [Ru(S)(P(OMe)3)(bpy)(dfppe)][OTf]n [(S = solvent (n = 2), triflate (n = 1)] (13a/13b); these species have not been isolated and could not be established with certainty. They (13a/13b) were not isolated, instead the six-coordinated isomeric aqua complexes cis-[Ru(bpy)(dfppe)(OH2)(P(OMe)3)][OTf]2 (14a/14b) were isolated. Reaction of the aqua complexes (14a/14b) with 1 atm of H2 at room temperature in acetone-d6 solvent resulted in heterolytic cleavage of the H-H bond. Results of the studies on H2 lability and heterolytic activation using these complexes are discussed. The complexes 3, 5, 11a, and 14a have been structurally characterized.

Marek's Disease (MD), which can result in neurological damage and tumour formation, has large effects on the economy and animal welfare of the poultry industry worldwide. Previously, we mapped autosomal MD QTL regions (QTLRs) by individual genotyping of an F population from a full-sib advanced intercross line. We further mapped MD QTLRs on the chicken Z chromosome (GGZ) using the same F population, and by selective DNA pooling (SDP) of 8 elite egg production lines.

In light of the Chinese government's dual carbon goals, achieving cleaner production activities has become a central focus, with regional environmental collaborative governance, including the management of agricultural carbon reduction, emerging as a mainstream approach. This study examines 268 prefecture-level cities in China, measuring the carbon emission efficiency of city agriculture from 2001 to 2022. By integrating social network analysis and a modified gravity model, the study reveals the characteristics of the spatial association network of city agricultural carbon emission efficiency in China.

Analyzing microbial samples remains computationally challenging due to their diversity and complexity. The lack of robust de novo protein function prediction methods exacerbates the difficulty in deriving functional insights from these samples. Traditional prediction methods, dependent on homology and sequence similarity, often fail to predict functions for novel proteins and proteins without known homologs.

The intelligent identification of wear particles in ferrography is a critical bottleneck that hampers the development and widespread adoption of ferrography technology. To address challenges such as false detection, missed detection of small wear particles, difficulty in distinguishing overlapping and similar abrasions, and handling complex image backgrounds, this paper proposes an algorithm called TCBGY-Net for detecting wear particles in ferrography images. The proposed TCBGY-Net uses YOLOv5s as the backbone network, which is enhanced with several advanced modules to improve detection performance.

Spherical tanks have been predominantly used in process industries due to their large storage capability. The fundamental challenges in process industries require a very efficient controller to control the various process parameters owing to their nonlinear behavior. The current research work in this paper aims to propose the Approximate Generalized Time Moments (AGTM) optimization technique for designing Fractional-Order PI (FOPI) and Fractional-Order PID (FOPID) controllers for the nonlinear Single Spherical Tank Liquid Level System (SSTLLS).
