A simple two catalyst component system consisting of primary β-amino alcohols as a catalyst and amino acids as a co-catalyst put together works as an efficient organocatalyst system in the hetero Diels-Alder reaction of isatins with enones to afford the chiral spirooxindole-tetrahydropyranones in good chemical yields and stereoselectivities (up to 86%, up to 85 : 15 dr., up to 95% ee).

Due to compositional differences, the mouthfeel of non-alcoholic beers (NABs) is considered inferior to that of alcoholic beers (ABs). Carbonation properties are a key sensation regarding mouthfeel. This study quantified the amount of bubbles in ABs (n = 10) and NABs (n = 9), ranging from 3.

The bagrada bug, Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister), is an emerging agricultural pest in the Americas, threatening agricultural production in the southwestern United States, Mexico and Chile, as well as in the Old World (including Africa, South Asia and, more recently, Mediterranean areas of Europe). Substantive transcriptomic sequence resources for this damaging species would be beneficial towards understanding its capacity for developing insecticide resistance, identifying viruses that may be present throughout its population and identifying genes differentially expressed across life stages that could be exploited for biomolecular pesticide formulations. This study establishes B.

Although air sinuses are prevalent in odontocetes and are an integral component of their sound reception system, the acoustic function of these air-filled structures remains largely unknown. To address this, we developed a numerical model using computed tomography data from a Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) to investigate the role of the air sinuses in sound reception. By comparing sound reception characteristics between model cases with and without the air sinuses, we found that the air sinuses improved sound reception directivity.

Conventional artificial intelligence (AI) systems are facing bottlenecks due to the fundamental mismatches between AI models, which rely on parallel, in-memory, and dynamic computation, and traditional transistors, which have been designed and optimized for sequential logic operations. This calls for the development of novel computing units beyond transistors. Inspired by the high efficiency and adaptability of biological neural networks, computing systems mimicking the capabilities of biological structures are gaining more attention.

Groundwater is an essential freshwater source worldwide, but increasing pollution poses risks to its sustainability. This study applied a comprehensive approach to assess hydrogeochemical facies and groundwater quality in Odisha's large low-lying coastal regions. Analysis of 136 samples revealed that sodium (9.
