We report the challenging synthesis and electronic properties of a new class of rhombic peri-fused acene dimers, the so-called peri-acenoacenes. Compared to rectangular peri-fused peri-acenes, peri-acenoacenes show less diradical character and higher stability. Two soluble and stable aryl-substituted peri-acenoacenes, peri-tetracenotetracene (TT-Ar) and peri-pentacenopentacene (PP-Ar), are synthesized and their structures are confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Their optical properties and electronic properties are different from those of peri-acene derivatives. Unexpectedly, both the neutral compounds and dications are aromatic.

Among the unique classes of 2D nanomaterials, 2D protein arrays garner increasing attention due to their remarkable structural stability, exceptional physiochemical properties, and tunable electronic and mechanical attributes. The interest in mimicking and surpassing the precise architecture and advanced functionality of natural protein systems drives the field of 2D protein assembly toward the development of sophisticated functional materials. Recent advancements deepen the understanding of the fundamental principles governing 2D protein self-assembly, accelerating the creation of novel functional biomaterials.

Objectives: In many circumstances, researchers and clinicians need short personality questionnaires that can be administered quickly, either because a patient's attentional abilities preclude the use of longer, more comprehensive questionnaires, or because the assessment of personality, while desirable, is not the primary focus of their approach. The purpose of this study was to validate two short forms of one of the personality questionnaires most widely used in international research, the Big Five Inventory (BFI-2), which uses 60 items to measure the Big Five personality factors: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Negative Emotionality/Neuroticism, and Open-mindedness/Openness to Experience, plus 15 facets (three for each major factor). The 30-item short form (BFI-2-S) is intended to assess the five main factors and the 15 facets and the "extra-short" form (BFI-2-XS) in 15 items only allows the five big factors to be assessed.

This study aimed to translate and assess the psychometric properties of a French Fear of Missing Out scale (PPC). The Fear of missing out is defined as a "pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent; it is characterized by the desire to remain continually connected to what others are doing". One hundred and thirty-eight participants completed the PPC, a French version of the Internet Addiction Test - Social Media (IAT-RS), a French Smartphone Addiction Scale - Short Version (SAS-SV) and some subscales of the French Revised Symptom Checklist (SCL-90-R) to test the validity of the scale.

Objective: This experimental investigation explored the optimisation of fibre loading and aspect ratio (AR) of the S-2 Glass fibres in restorative dental composites for improved mechanical and physical characteristics. This study dealt with understanding the influence of two key input parameters, hybridised S-2 Glass fibre AR and fibre wt%, as reinforcement on a dental composite. This study also explores the relationships and effects of these parameters on the performance of the composite material.

Background: Effective perioperative pain management is crucial to prevent patient suffering, delayed recovery, chronic postsurgical pain, and long-term opioid use. However, the heterogeneous use of outcomes in studies complicates evidence synthesis and might not accurately reflect the experiences of individual patients. We initiated a consensus process to establish a core outcome set (COS) of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in postoperative pain, building upon the earlier consensus on a COS of domains.
