Transparent, film-forming fluorinated arylene vinylene ether (FAVE) polymers with enchained triarylamine (TAA) moieties were prepared and characterized. Control over fluoro-olefin content within the backbone, as a function of base, was confirmed and postpolymerization dehydrofluorination was shown to increase fluoroolefin content from 5 to 31 mol %. Thermal cross-linking was found to occur approximately 100 °C lower than in traditional FAVE polymers (ca. 160 °C). Electrochemical analysis demonstrated the enchained TAA retained its established electrochemical character. The latent reactivity of the TAA was explored via electrophilic aromatic substitution and formylation reactions toward precise functionalization for specific electro-optic applications and others.

Method for Determining the Polymer Content in Nonsoluble Polydiacetylene Films: Application to Pentacosadiynoic Acid.

The absorptivities of polydiacetylenes (PDAs) used in Langmuir films or vesicles for the development of PDA sensor films or other applications such as nonlinear optics and field-effect transistors are not known, so the polymer contents cannot be deduced from experimental spectra. Here we introduce a novel method, using nuclear reaction analysis (NRA), that allows a quantitative determination of the polymer content X proportion of monomers that have been incorporated into PDA chains. We apply it to pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) evaporated microcrystalline films.

Purpose: Increasing evidence suggests radiomics features extracted from computed tomography (CT) images may be useful in prognostic models for patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study was designed to determine whether such features can be reproducibly obtained from cone-beam CT (CBCT) images taken using medical Linac onboard-imaging systems in order to track them through treatment.
Methods: Test-retest CBCT images of ten patients previously enrolled in a clinical trial were retrospectively obtained and used to determine the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) for 68 different texture features.

Purpose: Many patients could benefit from being treated in an upright position. The objectives of this study were to determine whether cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) could be used to acquire upright images for treatment planning and to demonstrate whether reconstruction of upright images maintained accurate geometry and Hounsfield units (HUs).
Methods: A TrueBeam linac was programmed in developer mode to take upright CBCT images.

A new 1D coordination polymer comprised of [Mn(III)(6)O(2)(Et-sao)(6)(EtOH)(4)(H(2)O)(2)](2+) units and bithiophene dicarboxylato was synthesized by mixing EtsaoH(2) (salicylaldoxime), H(2)btda (2,2'-bithiophene-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid) and Mn(ClO(4))(2)·6H(2)O in the presence of NEt(4)OH. The crystal structure was determined and consists of Mn(6) clusters bridged by the bithiophene dicarboxylato ligands coordinated to two of the Mn(III) ions of the Mn(6) polynuclear complex. Direct current magnetic measurements show an overall ferromagnetic interaction between the Mn(III) ions within the Mn(6) cluster leading to an S = 12 ground state for the Mn(6) unit.
