Regardless of your view of national or global politics, we are living through an era of toxic partisan rhetoric. From belligerent tweets on Twitter to "fake news" on Facebook and Instagram, where is this taking us? It is so easy to misunderstand a text and even an email. I've been thinking about the artists we work with and what we do in our professional lives. Performance is a form of communication between the artist and audience. The artist on stage can feel the unspoken response by the audience (even before there is or isn't applause or boos). There is an energy, a connection.

Motivation: In silico functional annotation of proteins is crucial to narrowing the sequencing-accelerated gap in our understanding of protein activities. Numerous function annotation methods exist, and their ranks have been growing, particularly so with the recent deep learning-based developments. However, it is unclear if these tools are truly predictive.

The prevailing trend in industrial equipment development is integration, with pipelines as the lifeline connecting system components. Given the often harsh conditions of these industrial equipment pipelines, leakage is a common occurrence that can disrupt normal operations and, in severe cases, lead to safety accidents. Early detection of even minor drips at the onset of leakage can enable timely maintenance measures, preventing more significant leaks and halting the escalation of pipeline failures.

The synthesis of polymers with well-defined composition, architecture, and functionality has long been a focal area of research in the field of polymer chemistry. The advancement of controlled radical polymerization (CRP) has facilitated the synthesis of precise polymers, which are endowed with new properties and functionalities, thereby exhibiting a wide range of applications. However, radical polymerization faces several challenges, such as oxygen intolerance, and common thermal initiation methods may lead to side reactions and depolymerization.

Exploiting supramolecular secondary building units (SSBUs) for developing porous crystalline materials represents an exciting breakthrough that extends the boundaries of reticular chemistry. However, shaping polynuclear clusters sustained by non-covalent interactions for the assembly of hydrogen-bonded frameworks remains a critical challenge. This study presents a novel strategy to stabilize SSBUs by tuning the π-stacking geometry of conjugated building blocks, facilitating the creation of hydrogen-bonded frameworks with tailored architectures for demanding gas separation.

Caproic acid has broad applications and can be produced from activated sludge via fermentation, but its quality is hindered by ammonia (NH-N) and reactive phosphorus (RP) in the fermentation broth. However, flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI), a novel ion separation technology that operates continuously without secondary pollution seems to be an efficient process that separates the ions. The results showed that at pH 5.
