The objective of this work was the exploration of the effect of the second coordination sphere on the magnetic properties of [Ln(NO)(HO)]·(18C6) (Ln = Dy (1) and Er (2)) compounds comprising co-crystallized 18-crown-6 ethers. Both compounds were identified as field-induced single molecule magnets (SMMs) with estimated magnetization reversal barriers = 66-71 K for 1 and = 21-24 K for 2. Theoretical calculations with the B3LYP functional revealed substantial change and redistribution of the electrostatic potential upon accounting for the second coordination sphere represented by two 18C6 molecules, which resulted in the change of the crystal-field around metal atoms. As a result, the multireference CASSCF calculations exposed significant impact of the second coordination sphere on the energy splitting of the respective (Dy) and (Er) ground states, the magnetization reversal barrier and the magnetic anisotropy parameters. Moreover, the calculated magnetization reversal barriers, = 57 K for 1 and = 16 K for 2, are in good agreement with the experimental values accentuating the importance of the second coordination sphere on the magnetic properties of SMMs.

Effectiveness of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on strength, endurance, and flexibility in adults with intellectual disabilities, a randomized controlled trial.

Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) often exhibit lower levels of physical fitness compared to the general population, including reduced strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) training can potentially improve the performance of adults with ID caused by weak motor skills due to a lack of desirable nerve growth during childhood and before puberty. Also, DNS training proposed to improve physical fitness in this population, but the effectiveness and durability of DNS training on specific fitness components have not been well-established.

Rapid growth in bio-logging-the use of animal-borne electronic tags to document the movements, behaviour, physiology and environments of wildlife-offers opportunities to mitigate biodiversity threats and expand digital natural history archives. Here we present a vision to achieve such benefits by accounting for the heterogeneity inherent to bio-logging data and the concerns of those who collect and use them. First, we can enable data integration through standard vocabularies, transfer protocols and aggregation protocols, and drive their wide adoption.

- The paper discusses factors influencing the increased accessibility of medical assistance in dying (MAID) in Canada since its legalization in 2016.
- It highlights the impact of vague legislative language, effective referral policies, centralized clinical services, and enhanced public awareness on the uptake of MAID.
- The authors conclude by examining how these factors intersect to shape the ethical and moral complexities surrounding MAID accessibility.
Background: More than 2/3 of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients are women, which has led to increased interest in the neurophysiological impact of estrogen decline during menopause. While early evidence suggested that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be protective against dementia, more recent studies have found inconclusive or even harmful effects.
Method: We tested the association between HRT use (estrogen or estrogen + progestin) and AD-related neuropathological outcomes measured on autopsy data in females from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) (N = 3423).

Multichannel imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window offers vital and comprehensive information for complex surgical environments, yet a simple, high-quality, video-rate multichannel imaging method with low safety risk remains to be proposed. Centered at the superior NIR-IIx window of 1400-1500 nm, triple-channel imaging coordinated with 1000-1100 and 1700-1880 nm (NIR-IIc) achieves exceptional clarity and an impressive signal-to-crosstalk ratio as high as 22.10.
