Treatment of N-chlorodimethylamine with sodium azide in dichloromethane does not lead to N-azidodimethylamine, as thought for more than 50 years. Instead, surprisingly, (azidomethyl)dimethylamine is generated with good reproducibility. A plausible reaction mechanism to explain the formation of this product is presented. The reaction of lithium dibenzylhydrazide with tosyl azide does not result in the creation of an N-azidoamine, which can be detected by IR spectroscopy at ambient temperature, as it was claimed previously. Additional experiments with diazo group transfer to lithium hydrazides show that intermediate N-azidoamines are very short-lived or their formation is bypassed by direct generation of 1,1-diazenes via synchronous cleavage of two N-N bonds.

Human neutrophils are abundant, short-lived leukocytes that turn over at a rate of approximately 1011 cells/day via a constitutive apoptosis program. Certain growth factors, inflammatory mediators and infectious agents can delay apoptosis or induce neutrophils to die by other mechanisms. Nonetheless, a large body of data demonstrates that apoptosis of untreated neutrophils typically ensues within 24 hours of cell isolation and in vitro culture.

Unlabelled: How changes in the quality of anti-viral antibody (Ab) responses due to pre-existing or acquired CD4 T cell insufficiency affect virus evolution during persistent infection are unknown. Using mouse polyomavirus (MuPyV), we found that CD4 T cell depletion before infection results in short-lived plasma cells secreting low-avidity antiviral IgG with limited BCR diversity and weak virus-neutralizing ability. CD4 T cell deficiency during persistent infection incurs a shift from a T-dependent (TD) to T-independent (TI) Ab response, resembling the pre-existing TI Ab response.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study calculated the impact of PHEV subsidies on CO emissions from 2016 to 2020, finding that replacing internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) with PHEVs reduces emissions by 12.38 kg per 100 km driven.
  • * While promoting PHEVs initially lowers CO emissions under the current power structure, this effect is temporary; investing in clean energy generation facilities would result in a more significant and long-lasting reduction in CO emissions.

The livestock sector, essential for maintaining food supply and security, encounters numerous obstacles as a result of climate change. Rising global populations exacerbate competition for natural resources, affecting feed quality and availability, heightening livestock disease risks, increasing heat stress, and contributing to biodiversity loss. Although various management and dietary interventions exist to alleviate these impacts, they often offer only short-lived solutions.

The Morse function is the simplest anharmonic approximation of the potential of a diatomic molecule, for which the vibrational Schrödinger equation could be solved almost precisely. Despite its crudeness, the Morse function has been widely used in solving various problems in molecular spectroscopy. In recent years, special attention was paid to the existence of two Morse approximations for the electronic terms U(r) of diatomic molecules, M1(r) and M2(r), which differ by the selection of primary fitting parameters and satisfactorily reproduce different parts of U(r).
