Introducing methoxy substituent into triphenylamine-acetophenone based donor-π-acceptor fluorophore, 3-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (1), produced strong solvatofluorochromism including white light emission, fluorescent polymorphs and mechano-responsive fluorescence switching. The unsubstituted and methoxy substituted compounds displayed strong solvent polarity mediated tunable emission in the solution. Interestingly, 3-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (2) and 3-(4-(diphenylamino)-2-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (3) showed single molecule white light emission in DMSO and ethanol, respectively. 1-3 exhibited strong green/yellow fluorescence in the solid-state (Quantum yield (Φ) = 10 to 23%). 2 produced fluorescent polymorphs (green (2-G) and yellow (2-Y). Single crystal structural analysis revealed that donor and acceptor phenyl units adopted coplanar conformation in 2-G and 3 whereas twisted molecular conformation in 1 and 2-Y. Further, 2-G exhibited π…π interactions facilitated isolated dimers whereas 2-Y showed well separated molecules in the crystal lattice. Aggregation induced emission (AIE) studies showed morphological transformation induced fluorescence tuning for 2. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) from TPA to acetophenone was confirmed by computational studies. Mechanofluorochromic (MFC) studies of 1 showed only slight reduction of intensity without modulating fluorescence wavelength significantly but 2 and 3 exhibited visible emissive colour change from yellow to green and vice versa by crushing and heating. Both 2 and 3 also exhibited self-reversible fluorescence switching that was confirmed by PXRD pattern. Thus, methoxy group introduction resulted in obtaining white light emitting fluorescence molecules in the solution state and self-reversible fluorescence switching materials.

Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancer in developing countries. Most of the patients present with advanced disease and requires rigorous treatment. Routine follow up of the patient is required to detect any recurrence which will substantially affect overall survival of the patient.

Chloroplasts are vital for photosynthesis, and their development necessitates proper expression of chloroplast genes. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying rice chloroplast gene expression have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we obtained an albino mutant of rice, white seedling and lethal 1 (wsl1), which displays significantly decreased chlorophyll contents and impaired chloroplast ultrastructure.

Phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (pc-WLEDs) with a supreme color rendering index (CRI) remain challenging, particularly due to the limited accessibility of efficient cyan-green-emitting phosphors in the 480-520 nm emission range. Herein, a novel rare earth-free cyan-green-emitting Ta-substituted CsVO phosphor that exhibits a VO charge transfer enabled cyan-green emission band centered at ∼520 nm under the 370 nm near UV (n-UV) light is reported with an internal quantum efficiency of 93.9%.

Background: Concussion is a common consequence of engaging in collision sports, with the often mild, transient nature of symptoms posing a considerable diagnostic and management challenge. This challenge is vastly magnified for athletes competing at grassroots/non-professional levels, who lack field side access to medical expertise in the assessment of a player's capacity to continue playing or need for further medical attention. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the utility of the BrainEye application and hardware (BrainEye platform) as a concussion screening tool, specifically determining (1) its sensitivity and specificity with respect to identifying an individual with a clinically diagnosed concussion, (2) the stability of the platform through test completion/failure rates, and (3) its usability through operator feedback and uptake/integration into concussion management protocols.

Importance: Cardiovascular health (CVH), defined by the American Heart Association as Life's Simple 7 to promote a healthy lifestyle and manage vascular risk factors, has been associated with a low risk of Alzheimer disease and less vascular dementia. However, the association between CVH and biomarkers of neurodegeneration remains less understood.
Objective: To investigate the association of CVH with serum biomarkers of neurodegeneration, including neurofilament light chain (NfL) and total tau (t-tau).
