Interactions between ionizable groups on the same molecule modulate the binding of protons to an extent where the binding constants may be shifted by orders of magnitude. The first two papers of this series discussed the family of carboxylic acids, pairwise isotropic interactions, and evaluation of single site binding data. This paper presents an extended group of hypothetical binding isotherms. Procedures are illustrated for deriving interaction parameters from binding data. The interaction parameters for about 25 representative compounds with two and three interacting ionizable groups are evaluated and tabulated.

Although prior studies have examined associations of personality traits with sleep, most have investigated self-reported sleep, been cross-sectional, and focused on younger and middle-aged adults. We investigated associations of personality with actigraphic sleep parameters and changes in sleep in 398 cognitively normal adults aged 40-95 years (M ± SD = 70.1 ± 12.

The use of winglet devices is an efficient technique for enhancing aerodynamic performance. This study investigates the effects of winglet cant angles on both the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of a commercial wing, comparing them to other significant parameters using a parametric analysis. A Full Factorial Design method is employed to generate a matrix of experiments, facilitating a detailed exploration of flow physics, with lift-to-drag ratio (L/D) and the integral of Acoustic Power Level (APL) as the primary representatives of aerodynamic and acoustic performance, respectively.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) present differently in women and men, influenced by host-microbiome interactions. The roles of sex hormones in CVD outcomes and gut microbiome in modifying these effects are poorly understood. The XCVD study examines gut microbiome mediation of sex hormone effects on CVD risk markers by observing transgender participants undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT), with findings expected to extrapolate to cisgender populations.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent environmental contaminants found in human tissues and persist in the environment, posing significant risks to reproductive health. This review examines the impact of PFAS exposure on male reproductive health, with a focus on sperm epigenetics. PFASs disrupt endocrine function by altering key reproductive hormones and impairing sperm motility, quality, and viability.

Single cell adhesion plays a significant role in numerous physiological and pathological processes. Real-time imaging and quantification of single cell adhesion kinetics and corresponding cell-substrate mechanical interaction forces are crucial for elucidating the cellular mechanisms involved in tissue formation, immune responses, and cancer metastasis. Here, we present the development of a plasmonic-based nanomechanical sensing and imaging system (PNMSi) for the real-time measurement of single cell adhesion kinetics and associated nanomechanical forces with plasmonic tracking and monitoring of cell-substrate interactions and the accompanying nanoscale fluctuations.
