Even though α-arylation of ketones is attractive for direct C-H functionalization of organic substrates, the method largely relies on phosphine-ligated palladium complexes. Only recently, efforts have focused on developing nitrogen-based ligands as a more sustainable alternative to phosphines, with pyridine-functionalized pyridinium amidate (pyr-PYA) ,'-bidentate ligands displaying good selectivity and activity. Here, we report on a second generation set of catalyst precursors that feature a 5-membered N-heterocycle instead of a pyridine as chelating unit of the PYA ligand to provide less steric congestion for the rate-limiting transmetalation of the enolate.

Objective: To establish local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for pediatric neck CT based on age, weight, and water-equivalent diameter (WED) across multiple university hospitals in South Korea.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed pediatric neck CT examinations from nine university hospitals, involving patients aged 0-18 years. Data were categorized by age, weight, and WED, and radiation dose metrics, including volume CT dose index (CTDI) and dose length product, were recorded.

Background: Natural language processing (NLP) enables the extraction of information embedded within unstructured texts, such as clinical case reports and trial eligibility criteria. By identifying relevant medical concepts, NLP facilitates the generation of structured and actionable data, supporting complex tasks like cohort identification and the analysis of clinical records. To accomplish those tasks, we introduce a deep learning-based and lexicon-based named entity recognition (NER) tool for texts in Spanish.

Oak wilt causes severe dieback of Quercus serrata, a dominant tree species in the lowlands across Japan. This study evaluated the effects of oak wilt on the wood-inhabiting fungal community and the decay rate of deadwood using a field monitoring experiment. We analysed the fungal metabarcoding community from 1200 wood samples obtained from 120 experimental logs from three forest sites at five different time points during the initial 1.

High voltage alternating current (HVAC) and high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems have acted as the pillars for the transmission field in power networks. Thus, two types of circuit breakers (CBs) existed; HVDC-CB and HVAC-CB. This imposed a burden on manufacturers by requiring them to set up a separate production line for each type of them, increasing production time and overall cost.
