We have been testing the theory used to calculate internal-conversion coefficients (ICCs) by making a series of measurements of α values with precision better than ±2%. So far we have measured E3 transitions in three nuclei, Rh, Cd and Cs; and M4 transitions in six nuclei, Sn, Te, Te, Ba, Ir and Pt. Together, these span a wide range of A and Z values. In all cases, the results strongly favor Dirac-Fock calculations in which the final-state electron wave function has been computed in an atomic field that includes the vacancy created by the internal-conversion process.

Transcriptome and DNA methylation profiling during the NSN to SN transition in mouse oocytes.

Background: During the latter stages of their development, mammalian oocytes under dramatic chromatin reconfiguration, transitioning from a non-surrounded nucleolus (NSN) to a surrounded nucleolus (SN) stage, and concomitant transcriptional silencing. Although the NSN-SN transition is known to be essential for developmental competence of the oocyte, less is known about the accompanying molecular changes. Here we examine the changes in the transcriptome and DNA methylation during the NSN to SN transition in mouse oocytes.

Article Synopsis
- ctACS may offer a non-invasive treatment avenue for psychiatric and neurological disorders, but its effectiveness is limited by a lack of understanding of its impact on cerebellar activity at cellular levels.
- Previous research indicated that AC stimulation influenced Purkinje cell (PC) and cerebellar nuclear (CN) cell activity in a frequency-dependent manner when applied to the cerebellum.
- This study found that ctACS altered PC and CN activity in rats, revealing that the modulation patterns varied with stimulus frequency and electrode placement, indicating potential for targeted treatment strategies.
Single-nucleus transcriptomic profiling of the diaphragm during mechanical ventilation.

Mechanical ventilation contributes to diaphragm atrophy and muscle weakness, which is referred to as ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). The pathogenesis of VIDD has not been fully understood until recently. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 24 h of mechanical ventilation on fibro-adipogenic progenitor (FAP) proliferation, endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), and immune cell infiltration driving diaphragm fibrosis in a rabbit model.

Carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methanol is a key chemical reaction to store energy in chemical bonds, using carbon dioxide as an energy sink. Indium oxide is amongst the most promising candidates for replacing the copper and zinc oxide catalyst, which is industrially applied for syngas mixtures but less idoneous for educts with carbon dioxide due to instability reasons. The polymorph of indium oxide and the operating conditions remain to be optimized for optimal and stable performance.

Boosting the stability of cesium/formamidinium (Cs/FA) based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has received tremendous attention. However, the crystallization of perovskites usually undergoes complex intermediate phase transitions and ion loss processes, which seriously degrade the efficiency and stability of PSCs. Herein, iodine monobromide (IBr, an interhalogen) is incorporated into the precursor solution to regulate the perovskite crystallization process.
