The time scales and formation mechanisms of tri-hydrogen cation products in organic molecule ionization processes are poorly understood, despite their cardinal role in the chemistry of the interstellar medium and in other chemical systems. Using an ultrafast extreme-ultraviolet pump and time-resolved near-IR probe, combined with high-level ab initio molecular dynamics calculations, here we report unambiguously that H formation in double-ionization of methanol occurs on a sub 100 fs time scale, settling previous conflicting findings of strong-field Coulomb explosion experiments. Our combined experimental-computational studies suggest that ultrafast competition, between proton-transfer and long-range electron-transfer processes, determines whether the roaming neutral H dynamics on the dication result in [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] fragments respectively.

Background: Traditional surgical education is based on observation and assistance in surgical practice. Recently introduced deep learning (DL) techniques enable the recognition of the surgical view and automatic identification of surgical landmarks. However, there was no previous studies have conducted to develop surgical guide for robotic breast surgery.

Genotype-based approaches for the estimation of SNP-based narrow-sense heritability ([Formula: see text]) have limited utility in pregnancy-related outcomes due to confounding by the shared alleles between mother and child. Here, we propose a haplotype-based approach to estimate the genetic variance attributable to three haplotypes - maternal transmitted ([Formula: see text]), maternal non-transmitted ([Formula: see text]) and paternal transmitted ([Formula: see text]) in mother-child pairs. We show through extensive simulations that our haplotype-based approach outperforms the conventional and contemporary approaches for resolving the contribution of maternal and fetal effects, particularly when m1 and p1 have different effects in the offspring.

Camellia oil (CAO), known for its high nutritional and commercial value, has raised increasing concerns about adulteration. Developing an accurate and non-destructive method to identify CAO adulterants is crucial for safeguarding public health and well-being. This study simulates potential real-world adulteration cases by designing representative adulteration scenarios, followed by the acquisition and analysis of corresponding excitation-emission matrix fluorescence (EEMF) spectra.

Introduction: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) using body weight is useful for improving physical function. However, it is unclear how much exercise load can be achieved depending on subjective intensity. This study aims to examine the extent to which body weight exercise at different subjective intensities produces an exercise load according to exercise type in young, healthy adults.

Background: One recommendation for the allocation ratio between multiple drugs and a shared placebo control group in platform trials (PTs) is to use a :1 allocation ratio for the placebo group relative to the drug group, where is the number of drug groups with ongoing patient enrollment during the trials. However, the practical utility of such unequal allocation ratios in PTs lacks adequate study.
Methods: We compared the performances of equal and unequal allocation ratios through simulations to imitate practical PTs using only concurrent controls and binary endpoints for hospitalized patients with infectious diseases.
