Published: July 2016

We demonstrate, for the first time, that a hydrogen-bonded low-density organic framework can be applied as a platform to achieve periodic alignment of paired molecules of C60, which is the smallest example of a finite-numbered cluster of C60. The framework is a layered assembly of a hydrogen-bonded 2D hexagonal network (LA-H-HexNet) composed of dodecadehydrotribenzo[18]annulene derivatives.

Public perceptions of meniscus tears: Evaluating knowledge gaps and the role of education.

J Clin Orthop Trauma

February 2025

Department of Orthopaedics, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, 1215 21st Avenue South, 4200 Medical Center East, Nashville, TN, 37232-8774, USA.

Background: Meniscus tears are common, occurring acutely during sports or as degenerative tears with aging. Limited information exists about the public's understanding of these injuries and their management.

Hypothesis/purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the public's baseline understanding of meniscus tear management and assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention to improve their understanding.

Background: To align with climate goals, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture must be reduced significantly. Cultivated peatlands are an important source of such emissions. One proposed measure is to convert arable fields on peatlands to grassland, as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) default emission factors (EF) for organic soils are lower from grasslands.

Escape rooms as formative knowledge assessment: A quasi-experimental study.

Nurse Educ Today

January 2025

College of Nursing, Florida State University, United States of America. Electronic address:

Background: Escape rooms offer an immersive approach to nursing education, serving as versatile tools for assessment and skill development. While research has explored their potential as alternatives to traditional assessments, their role as formative assessment and impact on knowledge retention in nursing education remain largely unexplored, prompting the need for further investigation.

Aim: The study aims to explore the impact of escape rooms as formative assessment on first-year nursing students' knowledge retention.

Distant supervision aligns the unstructured text to the knowledge base, thereby enabling automatic machine annotation. Nevertheless, this inevitably introduces a considerable amount of noise. Distant supervised relation extraction models aggregate all sentences sharing the same entity pairs into bags and employ various attention mechanisms to reduce the impact of noisy instances.
