Ultrafast time-resolved photoelectron spectra are reported for the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization of acetylene following excitation to the Ã1Au state via UV absorption at 200 nm. The excitation energy lies above the lowest dissociation threshold to C2H X̃2Σ+ + H, as well as above the threshold for adiabatic dissociation of the Ã1Au state to form C2H (Ã2Π) + H. The time-dependent mass spectra and photoelectron spectra provide insight into the intramolecular decay processes of the Ã1Au state. In addition, photoelectron spectra of the Ã1Au state with VUV light access both the X̃2Πu and Ã2Σg+ states of the ion, as well as the predicted, but previously unobserved, 1 2Πg state, which corresponds to a two-hole, one-particle configuration that lies in close proximity to the Ã2Σg+ state. The 1 2Πg state is split into 2A2 + 2B2 and 2Ag + 2Bg states in the cis and trans configurations, respectively. Electronic structure calculations, along with trajectory calculations, reproduce the principal features of the experimental data and confirm the assignment of the 1 2Πg state.

BiTe recently emerges as a promising candidate material for the next generation of mid-wave to long-wave infrared photodetection owing to its exceptionally narrow bandgap (approximately 0.2 eV) and the favorable photoelectronic properties. In particular, its topological insulator structure is safeguarded by time-reversal symmetry, leading to electronic structures with distinct surface and bulk states as well as distinctive optoelectronic properties.

Purpose: To propose a two-step, nonlocal principal component analysis (PCA) method and demonstrate its utility for denoising complex diffusion MR images with a few diffusion directions.
Methods: A two-step denoising pipeline was implemented to ensure accurate patch selection even with high noise levels and was coupled with data preprocessing for g-factor normalization and phase stabilization before data denoising with a nonlocal PCA algorithm. At the heart of our proposed pipeline was the use of a data-driven optimal shrinkage algorithm to manipulate the singular values in a way that would optimally estimate the noise-free signal.
A dual-purification system to isolate mitochondrial subpopulations.

Mitochondria perform diverse functions, such as producing ATP through oxidative phosphorylation, synthesizing macromolecule precursors, maintaining redox balance, and many others. Given this diversity of functions, we and others have hypothesized that cells maintain specialized subpopulations of mitochondria. To begin addressing this hypothesis, we developed a new dual-purification system to isolate subpopulations of mitochondria for chemical and biochemical analyses.

Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is esteemed as a medicinal crop due to its high nutritional and health value. However, the genetic basis for the variations in Tartary buckwheat grain ionome remains inadequately understood. Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on grain ionome, 52 genetic loci are identified associated with 10 elements undergoing selection.
