Article Abstract
The polarization effect of cube-corner reflectors (CCRs), which influences the performance of optical systems, requires comprehensive analysis. This study developed a model for the polarization state of uncoated solid and hollow CCRs using the Jones matrix derivation and Zemax software simulations. The accuracies of theoretical analyses and simulations were verified using an experimental setup. Theoretical analysis, simulation, and experimental results revealed that hollow CCRs are insensitive to the polarization state of the incident light, exhibiting average variations of 0.8° and 0.7° in the polarization direction and ellipticity, respectively. Contrastingly, the high sensitivity of solid CCRs to the polarization state of the incident light varied across different incident regions. The propagation paths 2-1-3 and 3-1-2 with minor polarization effects involved light that entered from one side of the CCR, traversed the bottom, and emitted from the other side. In these regions, the average variations in the polarization direction and ellipticity were 10.7° and 6.6°, respectively, whereas more affected regions exhibited corresponding values of 44.8° and 20.0°. These findings guide the enhancement and optimization of the performance of optical systems using CCRs.

We report here a new ligand for the peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor type α (PPARα), an N-tosyl hydrazone benzopyran that was designed throughout the mapping of the polar zone of the binding site of PPARα; such a compound displays a strong activity on this receptor that is comparable to that of the reference compound WY-14643. For the design of the -tosyl hydrazone benzopyran, we have carried out an exhaustive conformational study of WY-14643 and a previously reported hydrazine benzopyran derivative using conformational potential energy surfaces (PES). This study allowed us to map in a systematic way the entire binding site of the PPARα.

The urge to adopt cleaner technologies drives the search for novel and sustainable materials such as Hydrophobic Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (HNADESs), a new class of green solvents characterized by their low toxicity, biodegradability, and tunable properties, aiming to be applied in various fields for handling non-polar substances. In this work, the solubilization of hydrocarbons in type V HNADESs (non-ionic organic molecules) formed by mixing carvone, a natural monoterpenoid, with organic acids (hexanoic to decanoic acids) is examined by applying both experimental and theoretical approaches. The synthesis and physicochemical characterization of different HNADESs allowed us to tailor their properties, aiming for optimal interactions with desired hydrocarbons.

A steadily increasing number of publications support the concept of physiological networks, and how cellular bioelectrical properties drive cell proliferation and cell synchronization. All cells, especially cancer cells, are known to possess characteristic electrical properties critical for physiological behavior, with major differences between normal and cancer cell counterparts. This opportunity can be explored as a novel treatment modality in Oncology.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with highly malignant and aggressive, still faces challenges in treatment due to the single treatment and side effects. It is urgent to develop an advanced theranostic platform against TNBC. Herein, an "all-in-one" nano-system Au/Cu nanodots/doxorubicin@nanospheres (Au/CuNDs/DOX@NS) with dual-responsive properties was designed for dual-mode imaging-guided combination treatment of TNBC.
