To boost the design of microporous solids, we integrated a two-faced shape (as in cucurbiturils and cyclodextrins) into the building blocks of framework materials. Reported herein is a planar tritopic carboxyl linker with secondary tripod donors sprouting off both sides at the core region. The two-faced, barrel-like core region imparts a rugged 3D character to the linker architecture, obviating close packing and creating complex-shaped cavities in an Eu(iii)-carboxylate network. The merits extend beyond the interesting shape of the multiple tripod: e.g., the two sets of sulfur tripods at the barrel region, together with the triazine center, offer a rich array of donors for adsorbing Hg(ii) ions. The microporous solid also removes iodine from vapor and water, and can be easily cycled in column chromatography.

To evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HIV mortality rates with a focus on demographic predictors and Medicaid access. Using Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research, we conducted a descriptive study comparing HIV mortality in the United States 2 years before the COVID-19 pandemic (2018-2019) and the initial 2 years of the pandemic (2020-2021), and identifying HIV mortality factors during the pandemic. During the first 2 years of the pandemic, crude HIV death rates increased and then decreased marginally.

Lateral roots (LRs) can continuously forage water and nutrients from soil. In Arabidopsis thaliana, LR development depends on a canonical auxin signaling pathway involving the core transcription factors INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACIDs (IAAs) and AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs). In this study, we identified a protein, bacillolysin, secreted by the beneficial rhizobacterium Bacillus velezensis SQR9, that is able to stimulate LR formation of Arabidopsis.

The hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, has been at risk of extinction for more than 40 years and remains critically endangered. While nesting beach protection is important for hatchling production, identifying inter-nesting, migratory, and foraging habitats is crucial for mitigating threats to population recovery. We report the use of satellite telemetry to monitor movements of 15 hawksbill turtles in the Western Caribbean.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) has dire health consequences. To intervene, it is critical we first understand why young men perpetrate IPV. One theory is that men who experience violence are more likely to perpetrate violence.

Background: Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria xananassa Duch.), an allo-octoploid species arising from at least 3 diploid progenitors, poses a challenge for genomic analysis due to its high levels of heterozygosity and the complex nature of its polyploid genome.
Results: This study developed the complete haplotype-phased genome sequence from a short-day strawberry, 'Florida Brilliance' without parental data, assembling 56 chromosomes from telomere to telomere.
